During the 2004 election year, Democrats in northeast Tarrant County were a pretty rare species. In fact, some people thought we were an endangered species. Precincts in our part of the county voted overwhelmingly Republican. Over and over, people would say to us, “I didn’t know there were any Democrats here in ______ (fill in the blank: Bedford, Hurst, Euless, Colleyville, Grapevine, Southlake,  Keller, Watauga, North Richland Hills, Richland Hills, Haltom City)”.  Well, there are!! And, we set about to prove it.

The Mid-Cities Democrats want to:
 

• Fill vacant precinct chairs in our communities.
   
• Help our precinct chairs organize and activate Democrats in our communities.
   
• Reach out to voters in our communities via phone calls, mailings, and precinct parties.
   
• Host Voter Registration tables at local businesses and colleges in order to increase the Democratic vote in local, county, state and national elections.
   
• Promote Democratic and Progressive values in our community through Letters to the Editor and other media contacts and community activism (such as helping the Tarrant Area Food Bank and participating in the Adopt-a-Highway program).
   
• Raise visibility in our communities for our organization and the Democratic Party in order to promote greater participation in the election process by Democrats and Progressives.
   
• Work to get Democratic candidates elected (hold fundraisers, go door-to-door prior to elections with material for specific candidates asking for votes, actively participate in campaigns).

Concentrating all Democratic efforts on heavily-Democratic precincts in Fort Worth will not win county-wide races. Democrats outside the Fort Worth city limits must pull their share of the load.  If you live in northeast Tarrant County and want to be part of the solution instead of part of the problem, bring your energy and your ideas and come join the Mid-Cities Democrats!!
