Event Description:

This is your chance to help select nominees at all levels for the Dem. or Rep. party -- local judges, State Representatives and Senators, Congress, and more. The mainstream media often forgets that the primaries are about much more than the Presidential nominee. Please check out all the candidates who you will be able to vote on and help make sure there are some good choices on the ballot in November.

Event Description:

For Houston City Council, Jolanda Jones is running for At-large Position 5 against Joe Trevino, Wanda Adams faces Lawrence Allen for District D, and for District E Annette Dwyer and Mike Sullivan contend. Google their web sites and check out their backgrounds and positions on the issues.

Event Description:

In races for three, term-limited Houston City Council seats, no candidate got a majority of the votes in the general elections that concluded November 6. Since we do not use Instant Runoff Voting, this means that a bunch of extra money must be spent on a special runoff election. Early voting runs from Nov 28 through Dec 4. The main date to know is Saturday, DECEMBER 8, when most people will vote. NOW is the time (if you haven't already) to contact your favorite candidate who's in the runoff and volunteer to help that person. Your efforts can really make a difference in an election where the voter turnout is likely to be extremely low!
