Those are the words of Braden Frame in this report from News 8, Wilco Democrats win a House seat and open doors, (there’s video too).
When the Texas Legislature convenes next week, Williamson County will have a new advocate and county Democrats will have their own headquarters.
Rep.-elect Diana Maldonado is the first Democrat to win the District 52 House seat in 16 years, and her victory will help keep theWilliamson County Democratic Partyoffice open.
The Round Rock office first opened back in July, hopeful to make some changes in a traditionally Republican county. They were able to stay open due to the growth of the local party and the money it continues to receive since the November elections.
They speak with Leanna Terrell, she was an alternate delegate to the Democratic National Convention from Williamson County in August:
Leanna Terrell took three months off before elections to volunteer at the campaign office.
“I had gotten the bug. I had gotten the enthusiasm,” Terrell said.
She said she had never been a vocal voter, but saw the need for change and found plenty of others who agreed.
“I was surprised during this campaign, and walking my precinct to see how many Democrats there were and how happy others were to see how many there were,” Terrell said
Rep. Elect Diana Maldonado:
“As far as being the first Democrat in 16, 18 years, I think that resonates a change is coming,” Maldonado said. “But also my experience and the work I’ve done — people will see I’m about the issues and I will prioritize what makes our community strong.
And Braden Frame who was Democratic County Attorney Jaime Lynn’s campaign manager:
Part of keeping her presence strong in the community includes
keeping the doors to the county Democratic headquarters open, a permanent presence Democrats haven’t had for more than a decade.“It’s lit a fire under Democrats in Williamson County and they are
rallying around her, and we’ll continue to do so for the next few
years. So I expect our successes are not over,” Democrat Braden Frame said.
Come join in turning Williamson County blue this Thursday.
