2016 Democratic Candidate Information and Interviews – Democratic Contested Primaries

For races that will appear on the ballot in Harris County. Only contested primary races are included at this time. Other races will be added after the primary. Constable and JP races have been excluded because there are just too many of them. See the HCDP primary page for a listing of candidates I have omitted.

Note: If your group has made endorsements in these races and you do not see them listed below, send me an email with the details to kuff – at – offthekuff – dot – com. You must include a link to a webpage that lists your endorsements for it to be included.
