Hi, I follow you everyday and really appreciate the work you do. I'm in Montgomery County and very active in the Dem Party here. In fact, based on your article about the importance of Precinct Chairs I created the Precinct Chair Support Team and lead it. You convinced me and I believe strongly that PCs are the foundation of our democracy. We provide training, resources, messaging contact and organization in 12 geographic areas (3 in each Comm Precinct) so PCs have support, collaboration and share events and outreach efforts. These are Blue Groups (e.g. Blue Magnolia, Blue Creek). We have done more in the past few months countywide to build community and get out the vote than has been done in years. We are anxiously awaiting final results to see how we have moved the needle. Turnout is overwhelming and enthusiasm is palpable. Keep your eye on us and if you want to know more about what we are doing feel free to reach out. Charlotte Riser Harris 832-356-3404, pcst@mcdptx.org
Wow, that’s amazing! I’m so glad to hear this. Precinct chairs are everything. I will certainly be watching close and hope y’all push the needle far this year. 💙
My theory on the Denton County voter turnout. The largest employer in Denton County, Lewisville ISD, is in financial trouble. They sent their former board vice-chair to the state legislature to help with the problem. She, instead, voted against the ISD's best interest. The most populous parts of Denton county are rebelling.... at the polls. Denton County, especially southern Denton county is ground ZERO for the Republican civil war. Hence the massive turnout, but this also benefits Democrats in the county.
Brazoria County Democrats added a new Ramirez Tamale fundraiser this month which was great. Usually they have them in December. I think they are on track to flip soon. Many Harris County Precinct chairs like me are so glad to see it. I love that Montgomery County Dems now have a precinct chair support committee.

I’m in Austin and rarely get a look at historically Republican counties voting rates. Your post gives me optimism. Thank you so much for sharing!
Thank you for reading. 💙
