I’m a proud Democrat and this year there is a lot at stake.
I intend to lead a well funded, efficient and effective grassroots effort here in Harris County so we can keep the Democrats we have in office now and increase our numbers all the way from the courthouse to the White House. That’s my promise to you.
However, in order for me to be able to deliver on my promise I need to do what it takes to stay in office myself. The County Executive Committee elected me as their Chair in December, 2011. I have enjoyed every minute I’ve served in this position and I am eager to continue the work we have started. I have an opponent who has engaged in some divisive tactics and has a fringe following who are unpredictable at best. I need to raise funds to get my positive word out to the Democratic Primary voters so we can keep our momentum.
Every dollar counts. I know that the race for Harris County Democratic Party Chair isn’t a sexy one, but it is an important race which I intend to win. Won’t you take a moment now and contribute $25, $50, $100 or more to our efforts?
I have been endorsed by virtually every Democratic Club, organization, and elected official, but if I don’t get my message out to Democratic Primary voters – a larger number who vote in Presidential years – then our plans for the fall could very well end.
My goal is to raise $15,000 in the next ten days. That’s $1,500 a day. For most races that is nothing, but as I said before, this race doesn’t get the attention most races receive.
If just fifteen of you – the people I am sending this note to – gave me $100 today we would meet our goal. Can I count on you to be one of those fifteen people today?
My message is simple – I love this Party and I want to do whatever it will take to lead us to victory in the fall. Right now that means asking for donations for my own campaign. If you agree with me that uniting our party and working toward victory is better than dividing us and starting over mid-year, then please indicate your support with a donation today.

Let me take a moment to say thank you. Whether you donate to my campaign or not I know you have a history of supporting Democrats and for that I am grateful. Whether you walk blocks, make calls, write checks or host events – your actions make the difference.
Democratically yours,
Lane Lewis, Chairman
Harris County Democratic Party
