The Good News
and the Way Forward
We are all experiencing a whole array of emotions after the election. There is a lot of hard work ahead of all of us and the MCDP leadership is fired up and committed. We are holding debriefing and strategy meetings to plan the path to 2024 and will be ready to hit it hard in January. Everyone needs a bit of a breather and time to enjoy the holidays and recharge.
In January, we will share results of how we fared in Montgomery County and our plans to make further headway ahead of 2024.
In the meantime, we want to share information from the Texas Democratic Party. As you may know, the TDP sends regular Talking Points material that we use for our messaging. This particular issue provides a comprehensive view of how the Democrats fared across the state. We encourage you to read the full issue - it's a bit long but very comprehensive and hopeful.

MCDP Needs Help!
We Want to Help You in the Process!
We have created a new program to connect volunteers (Mentorees) to work on our specific needs with a Mentor to train and support those volunteers. Mentorees will be mentored by people with expertise to share and support to provide.
It’s a win-win – Volunteers learn valuable skills and gain experience that will look great on a resume and MCDP gets more help with our processes and tools.
Some of these projects will involve learning new technologies; others will involve learning effective leadership and organizational skills. If you don’t know what some of these projects involve, reach out and talk with us about them.
We seek Mentors to lead the team for each project and Mentorees to work with the Mentors to learn the necessary technical skills and help with the work.
See below for info about our first two opportunities! Reach out to us TODAY to learn what this is all about!

Description: The Public Utility Commission (PUC), the Electric Reliability Council of Texas (ERCOT), and the Office of Public Utility Counsel (OPUC) are state agencies that manage our electric grid. They decide when outages happen, and to whom.
The agencies are under Sunset review, the state's process for evaluating an agency's performance and how it should function in the future.
Do you think lawmakers did enough to fix our grid after Winter Storm Uri? This is our opportunity to tell state lawmakers that we want an energy grid that is clean, affordable, and reliable.
Comments gathered at this town hall will be reduced to writing and submitted to the Sunset Advisory Committee.
