Dallas County Democratic
2002 Candidates

This site is an ARCHIVE of the website used for the Dallas County Democratic Party from 2000 to May of 2002, and which was built by the then Chair Bill Howell. Though some information here will be relevant through the 2002 elections, other pages here are of interest for history or research. For the latest updated news about the Dallas County Democratic Party, see their own website at www.dallasdemocrats.org.


LAST UPDATED APRIL 28, 2002.

This year fifty-five Democratic candidates are running for district and local offices here in Dallas County. This is more candidates than we have run here in twenty years! Each person in the county should be able to vote for Democrats for at least forty-six different offices.

In 2000 our candidates for District Judge and Sheriff won at the polls on election day, and only narrowly lost in early voting, despite George Bush's coattails. (For details see Local Election highlights.) We are getting ready now to do even better in 2002 and win more races for Dallas County Democrats.

Statewide candidates and those whose districts cross county lines filed with the state party in Austin. When there is more than one candidate in the same race, they are listed in the order in which we received their contact information.
