We have a new County Chair for the Denton County Democratic Party: Phyllis Wolper! Phyllis was elected last night in Denton in a very close race with challenger Joyce Duesman.
[Our previous chair, Neil Durrance, has resigned so that he can run for Congress in 2010--we wish him well!]
Phyllis is a real estate agent in Denton, and has been very active in the Denton County Democratic Party for the last 3 years. She's the Founder and President of the Democratic Business Referral Club, and the Business Outreach Chair for the Denton County Democratic Party. Phyllis also ran an unsuccessful but tough race for County Commissioner in 2008.
I know Phyllis well, since I've worked alongside her for the last few years as we expanded the Democratic Party in Denton County. She's a smart lady who has a vast network (thanks to her job in real estate and the various boards she sits on), a supportive husband, and lot of talented Yellow Dog Dems who will help her in this challenging position! I have promised Phyllis that I will do everything in my power to support her and her initiatives.
Phyllis has a big job ahead of her: to continue to organize and grow the party in Denton County, and take it to the next level of effectiveness. She is committed to getting Dems elected to County government in Denton County.
Congratulations, Phyllis!

As most Denton County Democrats know, I co-founded the Democratic Women of Denton County (DWDC)...and I'm now the President of that organization. DWDC has grown quickly (as have donations), and I have been really pouring all of my spare time into DWDC, and have not been keeping up with blogging here.
To see what's going on with DWDC, go here:

Even though this blog, Castle Hills Democrats, is on hiatus, I'm going to leave it in place for awhile. After my tenure with DWDC ends, I might want to come back here and pick up blogging again.
To residents of Castle Hills: yes, I'm still your Democratic Precinct Chair, representing you to the Denton County Democratic Party. The County Chair over there, Phyllis Wolper, is a good friend of mine. You should check that organization out:

Obviously I am involved with all kinds of Democratic people and happenings in Denton County. If Castle Hills residents, or any resident of Denton County, wants to know more about Denton County Democratic activism, email me and I'll put you to work...or point you in the right direction...
