SENATE DISTRICT 13 STATE DEMOCRATIC CONVENTION CAUCUS RESULTS
SD13 is the largest, most Democratic Senatorial District in the State of Texas. We proved that once again on Friday June 18th at the Texas Democratic Convention, where every single race was hotly contested. We had many new faces in our Delegation this year, in addition to lots of longtime Democratic Activists. Our Caucus began chaotically enough, and we were forced to call a recess in order to participate in the opening of the Convention. We reconvened after the convention recessed on Friday night, and finished our Caucus Elections well after midnight. We elected some wonderful people to various committees for the Convention itself; and in addition, elected the following Democrats to serve SD13 in the following capacities:
SDEC COMMITTEEWOMAN
Jennifer Sanders
SDEC COMMITTEEMAN
Rodney Griffin
Note: Rodney Griffin was challenged by Nat West. In our caucus, it ended up as a 107-107 tie. According to Texas Democratic Party Rules and Robert's Rules of Order, the election was decided by a coin toss...!
PRESIDENTIAL ELECTORS
Mary K. Merriman
James Brooks
DELEGATES TO THE DEMOCRATIC NATIONAL CONVENTION
Bill Cunningham
Cate Read
Rick Brennan
Wanda Davila
John Bland
Otilia Gonzales
Sheila Blake
ALTERNATE DELEGATE TO THE DEMOCRATIC NATIONAL CONVENTION
Robert Hinojosa
