WEEKLY UPDATE FROM THE PARTY

Message from the KCDP Chair






Message from the KCDP Chair
 
Yes, we are Hill Country Strong!! We are also Blue Wave Strong!! Over the last three days, I have heard from James Talarico’s staff asking what we need. Initially, I told them we need Mercy Chef and temporary housing. Please note, I will be calling my contact with Talarico back after the Admin. Board meets
. 
After the Admin. meeting Monday night, we decided to ask Talarico to come to Kerrville!! I called my contact Monday night and asked for that visit. Cross your fingers! 

The Hinojosa team has offered their online staff to help (for free) organize a virtual phone bank. I have an office with wi-fi so that calls can be made. Stay tuned. Our contact is Kevin. He will supervise the phone bank after about a 20 minute training process. He already has a list of 852 highly engaged Kerr County dems to call. This is going to be FUN!

So good folks, stay in contact, talk it up, call me to volunteer, create an event and put it on the calendar and show up because in the long run we have candidates to elect. THANK YOU TEAM TALARICO AND TEAM HINOJOSA for reaching out.
