Yesterday was the quarterly Exec Committee meeting of the Harris County Democratic Party. Vacancies for the precincts were filled and the number of new chairs was a little over 150. It might be the Trump effect, but several longtime chairs were impressed that so many wanted to get involved.
Block walking , phone banking, and engagement are already in process here. Turning Texas Blue starts with a large margin for the Democrats in Harris County. We have 2.1 million registered voters. Pres Obama won by about 500 votes in 2012 with turnout of 1.2 million voters.
It starts on the ground and Harris County just added a number of people who can make it happen.
