Guess who's going to Denver...

ME!!!

It truly was democracy at its finest. I won with about 3/4 of the vote from our entire senate district delegation. For those who don't know, Victoria County is part of Senate District 18, made up of 19 counties. The final count was like 120+ for me, about 35-40 for the other nominee from Fort Bend County.

To Stephanie, Dorothy, Sallie Ann, and Aimee - it was hard, but I'm glad we all had a chance. I appreciate your support during the vote, as well as now. I promise to represent you and SD-18 very well.

Michael Flowers from Bastrop County will be attending as the male Obama delegate from our SD, and Chelsie W. (can't think of the last name, but I believe the initial is correct) from Fort Bend county is an at-large delegate for Obama.

I smell additional contributors to the blog...

Welcome

Good morning and welcome to all of those who may be visiting. This is the start of an exciting time right now, and I hope that we can come together and capture all of this enthusiasm and energy from the primary season, and turn it towards coming together and pushing through the general election.

This weekend is the Texas Democratic Convention (my first), and I will be live-blogging the entire weekend, so stay tuned for updates. On that note, I am also running for NATIONAL DELEGATE for Senator Obama. I have never been more nervous or more excited in recent history than I am this week. The next post will be a little more campaigning for myself...

So this evening there is a meeting in Victoria County for Victoria, Calhoun, Aransas, Dewitt, Jackson, Goliad, Refugio, and Lavaca counties' Obama delegates. Our field organizer for senate district 18, Nat Troy, will be present to give out more info and to answer any questions, as well as to give us some options or ideas for strategy as far as efficiency and things go. It's at 6:30pm @ Las Palmas restaurant TODAY, Tuesday, June 3.
