IMPORTANT UPDATE ON DENTON TOGETHER (11/9/2022)

….DENTON TOGETHER IS CLOSING….. 

Congratulations to those who did win around the state and THANK YOU to the candidates and the thousands of volunteers and donors who worked tirelessly….politics is hard work.  

For me, it’s been a 6 years of intense competition, raising the bar, doing things “we’ve never done before”, creating big events and bringing in media to create awareness, raising money—the necessary requirement to be able to fund the vital field work that must be done in an attempt to simply level the playing field here in Texas politics….

But it’s over…

I decided several months ago that Election Day was mine and Denton Together’s last….and it is from a perspective of being formally involved.  

Regardless of yesterday’s results, I am moving on to try something new in my volunteer time to help with homelessness, food insecurity or possibly women and children’s shelters….all TBD….

Thank you to ALL I’ve worked with at DCDP, Frisco Democratic Club, Denton Together and dozens of candidate teams. Volunteerism is essential to growing successful political presence.  Putting the right people in the right jobs is essential as well. If you’ve donated at all—THANK YOU.  ALL recurring or new donations were stopped beginning yesterday so no one will have future donations accepted. 

Congrats to the 14 WINNING candidates we’ve supported in the last few years. Finally, I remind you-WINNING is the ONLY goal of politics.  EVERYTHING ELSE is in service of that. intensity and competitiveness is a GOOD thing in politics.    I know there’s plenty of that out there and I hope some new people who’ve been watching from the sidelines but not engaging finally decide to participant beyond simply voting.  

Never doubt that a small group of committed citizens can change the world…..
