We are Dems! September CEC meeting recap

September's County Executive Committee meeting for Travis County Democrats was anything but dispassionate! We had a handful of candidates attend, most stated their name and the seat they are running for, but two candidates stood out for me.

He's experienced, sharp, and deeply committed to bringing back nonpartisan justice, real equity based on law rather than bias, to the 3rd Court of Appeals. Click on the photo to the left to learn more about Mr. Kuhn and it'll become clear why he is the best person for the job!


Another Dem you may know from his very active democratic presence in Austin and Travis County, is John Lipscombe. He's running for County Court at Law #3. If you haven't met Mr. Lipscombe, now is the time to get to know more about this life-long democrat and his dedication to the criminal justice system.

There was also an energetic discourse that, when it comes down to the core issue, was about how precinct chairs can be inclusive of, learn from but not be distracted by those with whom disagreements arise. The take away for me was to know that I am among people who get fired up and give their all, not just to the party, but to their communities. Sometimes that passion fuels fiery tempers. And, though, disagreements may arise, it is our unwavering commitment to progressive democracy and social justice that seals our bond.


I think this mini-flyer, available at the meeting courtesy of Texas Democratic Party, captures why I'm proud to say, "We are Dems!"
