Loretta Haldenwang off to strong start in HD 105 Race...

[Kirk McPike]

In 2010, voters in Irving will have the opportunity to bring needed change to their community and the state of Texas by electing Loretta Haldenwang to the Texas House of Representatives from District 105. Loretta will be a progressive representative from Irving who will focus on issues that really matter to Texas families, including economic development and improving access to quality education. She will also be the critical 75th vote for new leadership in the Texas House -- the key to a Democratic majority!

On July 15, Loretta reported receiving more than $61,000 in contributions and in-kind donations since beginning her campaign in late April -- a strong start to what will be a hard fought campaign.

Since starting her campaign, Loretta has been meeting with local activists and leaders in Irving, and has been endorsed by Annie's List, one of the most successful candidate-supporting organizations in the state. She'll be holding a series of meet and greet events this summer and early Fall, which will offer opportunities for volunteers to help with early voter contact and canvassing efforts.

I'm particularly excited about this race, as I'll be leaving Austin for Irving at the end of the month to run the campaign. Some of y'all may know me from the 2008 Lupe Valdez campaign or when I was field director for the 2006 DCDP coordinated campaign. I hope that those of you in west Dallas County will come and get involved. This promises to be an extremely exciting campaign!

While you're there, I hope you'll sign up for our email list. And, of course, donations are always welcome, as well. :-)
