Title
Fort Bend Democrats
Description
The Fort Bend Democrats is a grassroots organization started in 1986 and recently revived in 2003 when concerned Democrat activists saw a need to take action and start organizing early. It started when local organizers for the Wesley Clark and Howard Dean primary campaigns met and decided to renew the organization. The Fort Bend Democrats started holding monthly meetings at the George Library in Richmond in October of 2003, with only eight people attending the first meeting.
Since then our membership has grown to 160 paid members and over 700 people on our mailing list. One of the first things we did as a club was invest in some Fort Bend Democrats merchandise: t-shirts, hats, and denim shirts. The money we raised, together with contributions, allowed us to open a highly visible headquarters on Highway 90 in Rosenberg.
When we opened the headquarters, we took a gamble and did a mass mailing to 5000 known Democrats for a grand opening fish fry. It was a success! We had over 700 people attend the grand opening – including all our local candidates, the Texas Democratic Party Chair, and a well known state wide candidate.
