HarrisCountyDemocrats.com Blog!
This political blog website officially launched in late 2020 and is focused on issues important to Harris County residents. While the administrator is a moderate Democrat, this blog is independently operated and not affiliated with any political party or political action committee (PAC). This political blog is also not part of the Harris County Democrats Association formed in 1953 by Mrs. Frankie Randolph and later led by Chair Woman Billie Carr. We are an independent political blog and simply offer candid, mainstream perspective to help the Democratic Party improve and be successful. Please SCROLL DOWN to review our "call it as we see it" blog, including relevant links. To explore this website, please click on the TABS above.
