(Community Matters) Ausitn’s HRC federal club hosted a Lake Austin boat cruise tonight. Marty Rouse, HRC’s National Field Director flew in to speak at the event. Kirk Rice, Marty, Luke Hayes and I met earlier today to discuss national & Texas races. I’ve promised to further connect Marty & Alexa Wesner and the DNCs OFA.

Todd Cannon & John Kerrigan planned tonight’s event – together with Daniel Brennan they represent Austin on HRC’s board of governors. Chris Long & Dean Crawford were the evening’s generous sponsors. Lots of friends on board including (additionally) Perry Heitman, Billy Wilkinson, Rodney Fraser, Joann McKenzie, Laura Crumley & Tamra English, Krystal Gilliam, Michael Harper & Jed Duhon, John Hogg & David Garza, Kevin Loop, Alisa Weldon & Lynn Yeldell, Jill Wilcox & Karen Langsley, Stan Young, John Hildreth, Joe Baldazo, Joanna Linden, George Thorn, Rodney Ahart & lots others
Todd told a story about how he & Perry encountered a bigoted insurance broker when they recently moved to Austin from Portland. Fortunately, they subsequently connected with Joann.
Money well spent supporting HRC’s good work on the Hill and in the field. Steven and I are committed supporters – & we’re looking forward to their Austin dinner in February
