Board members Charles Kuffner and Stace Medellin have some first hand accounts on how successful our first Houston fundraiser went.

The event had over 50 people and raised another $3,000 for the PAC, and that means we have raised over $10,000 from over 100 people since starting this project.

Among the many people who were there to lend their moral and financial support were State Sen. Mario Gallegos; State Reps. Thompson, Garnet Coleman, Hubert Vo, and Ellen Cohen; Judge Susan Criss; Judge Ruben Guerrero; Council Member Melissa Noriega; the Hon. Chris Bell; the Hon. Sue Schechter; champion debate teacher and former Congressional candidate Jim Henley; former State Rep. and current candidate for Travis County Tax Assessor Glen Maxey; candidates for State Rep. Armando Walle, Kristi Thibaut, and Ginny McDavid; judicial candidates Leslie Taylor, Larry Weiman, Mike Engelhart, David Melasky, and Fred Cook; District Clerk candidate Loren Jackson; and Harris County Department of Education candidate Debbie Kerner. I’ve probably overlooked someone, and if so I sincerely apologize for the lapse in my memory.

Check out some pictures from the Houston event here, and look out for a Dallas event.  We have one more big show on the horizon before 2008 hits.
