This Committee which Senator West and
Chairman, Boyd Richie, have appointed has been charged
with studying the current convention/caucus system.
Furthermore, based on the testimony taken at
these meetings, the committee will then consider this
feedback and possibly make recommendations for changes.
While all meetings will be open to the
public, the first committee meeting will be limited
to invited testimony only. Senator West and the
Committee members wish to use this initial meeting as an
informational session. They will discuss with current and
former Party leaders the history and development of the
current convention/caucus system.
Dear fellow Democrats,
Over the past two years, I
have made it a priority to seek input and feedback from
Democrats throughout the State.
The Texas Democratic Party
is your
Party, more diverse and more unified than ever before.
Together, with your thoughts and opinions, I am confident
our Party will continue to grow and strengthen as we welcome
countless new Democratic voters. That is why I would like to
hear about your experience voting in the primary election
and participating in the caucus process.

Our record-breaking primary
brought over 2.8 million
Texas Democrats to the polls - more than double the
number of Republicans who turned out. Combine that with the
one million caucus
participants and you have a resurging Texas
Democratic Party on the brink of winning statewide
elections.
While inspiring, this
unprecedented turnout no doubt brought unique challenges.
That is why I hope you will take a moment to
share what you liked about
the primary and caucus process, and any improvements you
think could be made.

Your feedback will be
submitted to a committee headed by Texas State Senator Royce
West. Within the framework of the TDP rules and State law
governing our primary and caucus process, the committee will
consider this feedback and possibly make recommendations for
changes. Thank you for sharing your thoughts and for
helping improve our Party.
Your friend and fellow
Democrat,
Boyd L. Richie
Chairman
