Happy New Year All,  

As Chair of the Montgomery County Democratic Party (MCDP), personally and on behalf of the MCDP leadership, I wish you and yours a peaceful, happy, healthy, and prosperous 2023.  

As I am sure most do this time of year, I am reflecting on our Party’s many accomplishments in 2022 and on how we may improve our efforts to turn Montgomery County blue. I would like to share with you some of our successes from 2022 and some of our plans and vision for 2023.

We are now involved in a full, detailed analysis of the 2022 election data disaggregated by precinct, age, and ethnicity. These results will be communicated to each of you through both meetings and electronic communications and will be used to better define our strategic plans for the 2024 elections.

Overall, in analyzing the results of the November mid-term election, Montgomery County seems to remain at approximately 35% of the voters – with the biggest issue being low Democratic voter turn-out. 

The Texas Democratic Party (TDP) has recognized Montgomery County as ground zero for turning the State blue in 2024. And as we know, when Texas turns blue our nation will be solidly blue.

According to the 2020 census Montgomery County was the eighth fastest growing county in Texas from 2010-2020. And we know from the astounding residential and business construction we are seeing throughout the County, that growth is escalating.  Most growth in our County is due to people moving from Harris County and other locations.  As you can see from the graphic below (or click here), growth in the east part of Texas is increasing and growth in the west part of Texas is declining. 

There are signs across the state that Texas is returning to being a Democratic state. But the hard work to make this happen is important and continues. 



MCDP had many successes in 2022. Among those are:



• Increased volunteer base
• Increased donations – including sustaining members
• Hosted and participated in 21 community events
• Sent 44 newsletters and eblasts
• Created Messaging Content communications to assist Precinct Chairs in messaging
• Created a Mentor/Mentoree Program
• Held 6 strategic and planning meetings
• Held 3 fundraising events
• Increased support for candidates (financially and logistically)
• Held 4 CEC meetings
• Held 6 SAC meetings
• Increased number of Precinct Chairs
• Developed relationships with campaigns, TDP and other County Democratic Parties
• Candidate support via many, many text messaging and mailing campaigns
• Innumerable committee meetings

National, State, and Local leadership have recognized the need for more personal interaction with voters as the key to increasing voter turnout. To that end, we have implemented and continue to identify outreach opportunities through our Outreach Groups, engagement with Precinct Chairs, and development of block captains in Precincts.  This is truly the ground game we need to Get Out The Vote (GOTV). 

Headquarters is wasting no time getting our plan for 2024 implemented.  Plans for 2024 include:

• Further development of Outreach Groups
• Fill every Precinct Chair seat in the County
• Develop a Precinct Chair job description to better define expectations and provide support
• Increase membership in the Party including more sustaining members
• Update our Party website (stay tuned – this will be launched soon!)
• Register more Democratic voters
• Get Out The Vote using the TDP Guidelines
• Increase engagement with the TDP
• Recruit and support more strong Democratic candidates for local, state, and federal positions
• Increase Democrats’ visibility throughout the County
• Increase media coverage

I implore you to join us in our fight.  Here are some ways you might help:

• Become a sustaining member (even $5 a month makes a difference)
• If you are already a sustaining member, consider increasing your donation
• Make a onetime donation
• Volunteer – there are so many great opportunities
• Become a Precinct Chair - check here to see if your Precinct has a chair
• Contact your Precinct Chair to see how you may help in your neighborhood
• Shop the Party Blue Store – shop at Headquarters or visit the online store by clicking here.
• Call or visit us at Headquarters – get to know us and how we are working on your behalf!!

With commitment and optimism, we moved the needle in 2022. Positive change takes a coordinated effort and a great deal of time. Now is the time to plan and strategize to ensure our efforts are sustainable and bring us victory in 2024.

Sincerely,

Ginger Blair

MCDPTX Chair
