To everyone who volunteered, to everyone who donated money, to everyone who signed a petition, and to everyone who offered advice and encouragement, I give you my heartfelt thanks. I have said before that it is a privilege and an honor to run for public office, and I mean every word of that. I loved meeting people from all over Harris County, and I loved talking with you about the changes we need to make down at the courthouse. Although this campaign is over, our work is not done. Please stay involved in the political process with me!

Sincerely,

Charles Spain

Harris County Democrats, an independent association of citizen Democrats, pioneered and has pursued the progressive political movement in Harris County since its inception in 1953.

In a release, Democracy for Houston’s acting chair, Phillip McNutt, remarked that “DFH did not vote to endorse in every race nor did we vote to endorse anyone simply because they asked for our vote. We have a large field of candidates to choose from. Our progressive values, along with the candidate’s credibility and electability are reflected in our slate of endorsed candidates, from the bottom to the top of the ticket.”

The HGLBTPC’s primary role is to screen and endorse local, state, and federal candidates. The HGLBTPC screens candidates to ensure they meet the criteria set forth by the membership including full support of GLBT civil rights.

The Harris County AFL-CIO Council is a local federation of labor representing over 45,000 members of 77 unions in Harris County. The mission of the Harris County AFL-CIO Council is to improve the lives of working families.

“In my career, I’ve worked hard to develop a deep understanding of the law and to earn the respect of my colleagues. I intend for the campaign ahead to represent that hard work – as well as my commitment to the law, to justice for all, and to the State of Texas,” said Spain.
