2008 TDP State Democratic Convention
2008 TDP State Democratic Convention
June 5-7, 2008
Austin, TX
At the State Democratic Convention, committed Democrats from all across Texas will come together to set the course of the Party, elect delegates to the National Convention, and formally nominate our statewide Democratic candidates. To learn more about how to become a delegate, please read our delegate selection brochure.
The TDP's reserved block of over 2000 hotel rooms sold out in less than 48 hours as Delegates and Alternates from all across Texas made their arrangements to come to Austin. The TDP is working to secure additional rooms, but if you are a Delegate or Alternate looking to book accommodations in Austin, we recommend you use a site such as Expedia, Travelocity, or Hotels.com.
If you are interested in being a Delegate or Alternate to the National Convention, you need to declare your candidacy by downloading this form, filling it out, and delivering it to the TDP between April 21st and May 21st. You do not even need to be a delegate to the State Convention to be a candidate.
If you are a member of the press hoping to cover the convention, please fill out this credentials request form and email it to hnieto@txdemocrats.org.
