BROWN BAG LUNCH – 2009 ELECTION ANALYSIS - Nov.10th

Calling all voters, activists, and interested parties! The Harris County Democratic Party is excited to announce Keir Murray, a noted political consultant, will be the featured speaker at our monthly Brown Bag Luncheon Tuesday, November 10th, from 12:00 pm (noon) to 1:00 pm, at Party headquarters, to discuss the results of the November 3rd elections.

What went right and what went wrong in the 2009 election? What can we learn from the campaigns waged by the candidates? What will a run-off election mean? Who turned out to vote? Who stayed home? What will all of these things mean for Harris County and Democrats going forward? Get insight into some of these questions as Mr. Murray shares his expert analysis on the results of the November 2009 election. Bring your sack lunch and HCDP will provide soft drinks.

We hope you will join us Tuesday, November 10th at HCDP headquarters, located at 1445 North Loop West, Houston TX 77008 Suite 110, (exit Ella).

Welcome to Our New Website

Bay Area New Democrats are excited about the launch of our new, more contemporary website. Check out all the tabs above and learn more about what we have to offer. Look for regular updates to the news posted above and contributions from board members to our BAND blog!

Field Work Opportunities!

If you have finally recovered from the busy 2008 election season, it is time to get involved again! All Houston city election campaigns are actively looking for field workers. BAND has not traditionally endorsed candidates in non-partisan races unless there is only a single Democratic candidate in the race. Ronald Green is the only Democratic candidate in the controller’s race, for example, and BAND does support him. In the current mayor’s race, we have three Democratic candidates, and some of our members are supporting each of them individually.

If you are interested in doing field work, please contact the people or links listed below:

Peter Brown – contact Doug Peterson at dougpeterson@earthlink.net, or call him at 281-286-7631
