What’s next for me
Since Tuesday’s election results were released, I have had a few friends ask me what I plan to do next, given that I lost my post as Precinct 54 Chair in the Democratic Party.
First, let me say that the person who will be replacing me as Precinct 54 Chair is a friend of mine who will absolutely be a wonderful asset to the Party. I spoke with her on the phone when I found out that she filed, and I discovered that she had filed to become more active in the Party, not to replace me in particular. That was a relief!
Anyway, I plan to remain active within the Party and with the Executive Committee, even though I will not be a voting member. I hope to continue my work as Secretary under the new Executive Committee, which begins its new term on April 28.
Lastly, there were rumors that I was planning to run for City Council District 4, probably because I picked up a candidate packet in order to write a post about what is involved with filing for office. It should be pretty clear at this point that I’m not running for City Council District 4, especially since the filing deadline is tomorrow. :) I do plan to follow that campaign very closely since it’s my home district.
Onward to November!

Lefty, we all appreciate you work with the LCDP and we’re glad you will continue to work with us.
Oh and I live in that district and I wish you were running.
take care.

Oh Lefty you should have ran for Mayor. Roger Settler stepped forward to run as Republican for Mayor and you should have volunteered to be Democrat for Mayor. Gilbert Montes also volunteered to run for Mayor so at least the voters will get more than Bad(Miller)/More Bad(Martin)as a choice for mayor. I recently resigned the Republican Party after my 19% forced a chairman runoff and told Chris Winn” forget it” when he asked to meet with me on his runoff plan. I was told “just forget it” at democrat headquarters and later was informed that democrat headquarters does NOT hate republicans but they do hate men(bit of wisdom from Charlie Dunn). Now I will meet with libertarians since I KNOW they are not “off the wall” like local repubs and dems. It’s hard finding sane people to “talk politics” with but sanity appears to be “out of fashion”. Thanx for “tellin’ me truth” Charlie!

As a man who spends time every week at Democratic Party HQ, I find Charlie’s remark about women to be way off the mark.
Honestly, if you’re a man and have a problem with “not enough men” in the Democratic Party, the solution is easy: get involved! I am grateful to the strong women who have led the Party in recent years, because without their efforts there would be no Democratic Party in Lubbock!
