TDP STATEMENT ON BEGINNING OF CANDIDATE FILING PERIOD
December 3rd, 2009

Below is a statement from Texas Democratic Party Chairman Boyd Richie on the candidate filing period, Dec.3, 2009 – Jan. 4, 2010, and the 2010 elections:

 ”Texas Democrats are optimistic as we enter the candidate filing period for the 2010 election. We look forward to a fair and exciting Primary and general election victories next November. We’re prepared, we’re united, and we’ve built the infrastructure to succeed.

“Texans are tired of divisive, business-as-usual politics from self-serving Republican career politicians and we can’t afford to keep paying the price of failed Republican rule. More Texans voted for mainstream, problem-solving Democrats in key 2006 and 2008 races because they are fed up with incumbent Republican politicians who have prevented our great state from fulfilling its true potential.

“As we enter the 2010 cycle, Democrats are organizing to take that same successful message statewide.”
