Harris County Tax Assessor Collector

(Community Matters) I learned just yesterday that we didn’t defeat Harris County Republican tax assessor collector Paul Bettencourt. And, once again, he was relentless in attempts to suppress Democratic votes. The Harris County Coordinated Campaign did a great job in so many ways and for so many races, but perhaps not so well turning out newly registered voters. Despite very many and real progress in Harris County, our failure to win back this important position could very well jeopardize statewide D ambitions. With slight margin House wins this election, wondering how we’re going to hold without Obama on the ticket in 2010.
