Loren Jackson's Event and Texans Together -- A Great Night!
The weather was fantastic, just the cool dry atmosphere that engelhart4judge.com 2008 cherishes. The green hybrid coasted silently in electric only mode around the corner from its midtown office building parking lot over to Massa's Restaurant/parking garage at 1160 Smith Street. Loren Jackson is running for Harris County District Clerk. He has been at EVERY event engelhart4judge.com 2008 has been at in the past 8 months.
The turnout was amazing as it was SRO. Many of the judicial candidates were there, clipboards in hand. Stace Medellin and his sisters Toni and Sylvia were there, as was Gerry Birnberg and Jolanda Jones (who's in a December runoff for City Council At Large 5). Loren's law firm boss spoke, and there was a nice reception.
Then after I got the green hybrid out of hock from the 7th floor of the garage, it was down Allen Parkway, coasting into Crestwood Street in swanky Memorial Park and the home of Michael Flynn and Richard Maier. The impatiently voiced green hybrid's GPS turn by turn direction helper directed me to this incredible mansion. The architecture and decoration, and wonderful snax paled, however, in comparison to the presentation at that event. Andres Pereira, late of George Fleming's legal shop, held a program for a group called Texans Together. It has as its purpose the idea of furthering progressive politics and representation in order to better our community (I don't speak for them -- that's my take on their purpose).
Richard Murray was the highlight and he again spoke about demographic changes that continue to support his belief that great Democratic changes are in store for Harris County in the very near future.
Again, party heavyweights were there. Chris Bell, Peter Brown, and Ellen Cohen got huge applause. Democratic lawyer and Tom DeLay slayer, Chris Feldman, spoke and made a funny. He said he was trying to come up with a joke to start his speech with, and was worried when he could not. Then he saw that Chris Bell was there (an allusion to the JRR Dinner which Bell MC'd) and that the bar had been set pretty low.
Thanks again to the hosts, the event was a tremendous success and a sign of great and growing strength in the progressive grass roots community.
