Guest Blog From Barbara Radnofsky: On Conventions

Saturday was spent at  senatorial district conventions, which were better attended than two years ago.

These conventions represent the best and brightest activists in the party, and I was glad to see young people, bloggers and the diverse, loyal base which fueled my primary win.

These folks have been helping this camapign for well over two years now. We visited, camapigned and spoke at  Senate District 6, held at  Communication Workers of America Local 6222 Union Hall; Senate District 7, Location: Houston Community College, West Loop Campus; Senate District 13  Houston Community College, Central Campus, San Jacinto
Building, Auditorium; and Senate District 15 Location: Carver High School, 2100 Victory in Acres Homes .

Everywhere I went I saw DNC representative Betty Richie, local candidates and folks more excited than I’ve seen in years, sensing winning in the air. Here are the first two reports from friends across the state, and we’ll post resolutions on the campaign website.

From Guy Stuart:  As individuals all in attendance  at the Burnet  County Democratic Convention voted to endorse
Barbara Ann Radnofsky for Senate.

From Chris Bates: Dallas County SD-23 stand firmly behind
BAR.  Bill Howell spoke on your behalf, he did a great job.  The first resolution that was passed was that the state party join BAR united after the run off election with Kelly.

From South Texas, late night reports were phoned in last night with the exciting news that Senate Districts 20 and 27 and Hidalgo County Democratic Party all passed reoslutions strongly supporting my candidacy.

We have reports of new volunteers, many takers of our yard signs, and several supporters who came to conventions with drafts of supportive  resolutions, so that conventions were able to debate alternate language. BAR
