Your Weekly News from the Collin County Democratic Party
|
|
We are so grateful for everyone who’s supporting this April’s Ann Richards Dinner. With their help and yours, we will find new Democrats, flip Collin County, and win Texas this year.
We asked a few sponsors why they’re joining us on April 18
th
for this year’s Ann Richards Dinner featuring Kathy LeMay as our keynote speaker.
“We care about the local Democratic Party. We want to elect local candidates and turn Collin County blue,” said
Robert and Janet Miller
, long-time sponsors of CCDP.
For
William Newbill
, his reason is the critical role of our local party. "The Collin County Democratic Party is the architecture, the structure that supports all our candidates and principles. [It] is an indispensable link advancing the cause of liberty, equality, and justice.”
Jeanne Curtis
believes that "There’s never been a more crucial time to support the Democratic agenda! For Collin County, the Ann Richards Dinner is a fun, vital, and important way to do that!”
We are so grateful for these supporters and all our guests this year. You know how important our party’s work will be in 2020 and your support is what will make it all possible.
Reserve your ticket or sponsorship now, then tell us why you believe in building a better, bluer Collin County. We can’t wait to see you then and build our party for 2020 and beyond.
We'll see you there
,
Carrie Petersen and Karen Hearne

Remember, you can't use your phone in the polling place; but you can take a list of your choices on paper. Your sample ballot can serve as that paper. If you can't print it, call the the party office at

informal, inclusive progressive social groups. Raise your spirits while you raise your glass, and share ideas while you share a pitcher. Drinking Liberally gives like-minded, left-leaning individuals a place to talk politics. You don't need to be a policy expert and this isn't a book club - just come and learn from peers, trade jokes, vent frustration and hang out in an environment where it's not taboo to talk politics.

Please drink responsibly and use liberally designated drivers. Like a neocon war or a Wall Street tax cut, drinking and driving hurts real people.
Don't do it!
