Brazoria Dems

I don't usually think of Brazoria County as a hotbed of activity for Democrats - for good reason, given the 68-31 margin there for President Bush in 2004 - but like us here in Harris and elsewhere around the state they're fired up and organized and have plenty of opportunities for folks looking to get involved. Quite a few races of interest, including CD22, SDs 11 and 17, State Board of Education district 7, and the 1st and 14th Courts of Appeals, overlap with Brazoria, so they have a key role to play. They have a couple of HQ grand openings coming up, as Banjo informs us:


South Brazoria County:
South Brazoria Democrats will have the grand opening of their headquarters this Sunday, September 7, 2008 following a Meet the Candidates forum.

The Meet the Candidates forum will be held, 2 p.m. to 5 p.m. at the Civic Center, 333 Highway 332, Lake Jackson, TX 77566 (map). This is a free event with refreshments provided.
