Ronnie Earle, Democratic Primary candidate for Lieutenant Governor will be the keynote speaker at the February meeting of the Mid-Cities Democrats, Thursday, February 25. The North Texas native began his political career with Governor John Connally and has worked with every Texas governor since. It was the campaign finance investigation led by Earle, then Travis County District Attorney that led to the 2005 indictment of Republican Tom DeLay, the House Majority Leader and self-dubbed “Texas Hammer”.

(Other Democratic candidates for Lt. Governor were invited to the February meeting.)

Attendees should arrive at the Sheet Metal Workers’ Union Hall, 1020 S. Industrial Boulevard, at 6:30 p.m. to socialize and eat. Pizza and sodas will be served for a small donation. The meeting will begin promptly at 7:00 p.m.
