It’s become painfully obvious to everybody in Harris County that Republican leadership has given us a corrupt county government. County Judge Ed Emmett makes excuses and refuses to take responsibility, propose ethics reforms with no teeth and no chance of passing, and then lies on his resumé about being a lobbyist. County Sheriff Tommy Thomas sends racist and pornographic e-mails, spies illegally on citizens, and is under federal investigation for deaths in our jails. County Attorney Mike Stafford has had an inappropriate personal and financial relationship with one of his staffers, and District Clerk Theresa Chang is under tax forfeiture. The list goes on and on.
It’s no secret that all over the country, Democrats areout-registering Republicans. We have record enthusiasm about this race and our candidates, up and down the ballot — and nowhere is this more true than right here in Harris County. But just how excited are we? Just how many Democratic voters are we registering, and engaging in the process?

In this important election, every single vote matters. That’s why it’s crucial that you, your friends, and your family register to vote — and the deadline to register to vote in Texas is October 6.
Even if you’re registered to vote, take a few minutes and call or e-mail your friends and family. Every new registered voter brings Harris County one step closer to turning blue!
