H.R. No. 1778 |
|
||
WHEREAS, The Far North Dallas Richardson Democrats have | ||
played an important role in civic life for well over a decade; and | ||
WHEREAS, Established in 2004, the organization was founded by | ||
two House District 102 precinct chairs, Anthony Pace and Robert | ||
Franklin; the club held a primary forum that year, and it became a | ||
signature event; and | ||
WHEREAS, The group recruited Carol Kent to run for state | ||
representative in 2007, and members formed her initial campaign | ||
team; following her election, the club continued to expand its | ||
reach beyond House District 102, and it adopted the name Far North | ||
Dallas Democrats in 2009; three years later, it merged with the | ||
Richardson Democrats, and today it draws its membership from | ||
Dallas, Denton, and Collin Counties; and | ||
WHEREAS, Dedicated to promoting progressive legislation, the | ||
organization identifies, recruits, and supports worthy candidates | ||
for public office at all levels of government; it provides a forum | ||
for the exchange of ideas and sponsors activities to raise | ||
awareness in the community and strengthen the Democratic Party; and | ||
WHEREAS, The men and women of the Far North Dallas Richardson | ||
Democrats have demonstrated an exceptional commitment to the ideals | ||
of good government and social progress, and through their active | ||
engagement in the political arena, they are setting an outstanding | ||
example for their fellow citizens; now, therefore, be it | ||
RESOLVED, That the House of Representatives of the 86th Texas | ||
Legislature hereby honor the Far North Dallas Richardson Democrats | ||
for their contributions and extend to the members sincere best | ||
wishes for the future; and, be it further | ||
RESOLVED, That an official copy of this resolution be | ||
prepared for the organization as an expression of high regard by the | ||
Texas House of Representatives. | ||
