Early voting starts next Monday, and this election is more important than ever. To celebrate the beginning of early voting and encourage everybody in Harris County heads to the polls this week, the HCDP and Obama for America are throwing a huge Early Vote Rally this Sunday, October 19!

We are proud to welcome Senate candidate Rick Noriega as a featured speaker at our rally. Noriega, who served in the Army National Guard in Afghanistan and serves as the State Representative for District 145, will urge Democrats to vote early and straight-ticket to bring the change we need at all levels of government.

The rally will begin at 7:00pm on Sunday, October 19th at 1500 McKinney — Discovery Green at the Anheuser-Busch stage (map).

This is one event you won’t want to miss. Democrats from all over the state will flood Discovery Green. Let’s show everybody that we in Harris County are on the forefront of change in Texas, and that our momentum and enthusiasm this fall will be impossible to beat. Turning Harris County Blue starts on Sunday.

We need your help to get out our message. We look forward to seeing you this Saturday at 10am and Sunday at 2pm as we Turn Texas Blue!

Due to the situation with Hurricane Ike, our Sunnyside Office Opening will be postponed until next Saturday, September 20th.  The Harris County Democratic Party encourages you to be prepared and with your family during this weekend.

Please join the Harris County Democratic Party and your friends and neighbors on our new date, September 20th, as we open our latest satellite campaign office in Sunnyside. We are so lucky to be in the center of big things happening in Harris County, and with less than 60 days until the election, we need your help now more than ever to make sure that your local candidates become the elected leaders we need.

Harris County’s Democratic turnout during the March primary was unprecedented, and we need that same enthusiasm for Democrats come the general election this November. The Republicans in Harris County have proven they will do whatever it takes to hold on to their offices, and it will take all of our effort as a community to restore integrity and accountability to our public officials.

We want to start of our efforts in Sunnyside with a bang, and we need your help to make it happen! Please help us on our new date to make this a memorable celebration as we look forward to turning Texas blue in November. We hope you will join us, your candidates, and your public officials this weekend for the fun and festivities at our new Sunnyside Democratic HQ, so we can continue our momentum to Turn Texas Blue.

See you there!
