Celebrate Texas Independence Day

To mark Texas Independence Day, the Lampasas County Young Democrats (LCYD) and the Central Texas College Democrats will host a forum featuring the Democratic candidates for State Representative in District 54. The forum will be on Independence Day, Thursday, March 2, 2006, in the Central Texas College (CTC) Criminal Justice Auditorium. The candidates will discuss why they are proud to be Texans and what they would do in the state legislature to improve the lives of Texans.

Edward Lindsay of Killeen and Jesse Martin of Buchanan Dam are competing for the Democratic Party nomination in the District 54 Representative race. The evening begins with a 6:30 p.m. reception near the statue honoring President Lyndon Baines Johnson. Over a variety of refreshments, voters can meet the candidates and discuss their views. The forum follows promptly at 7:00 p.m. inside the CTC Criminal Justice Auditorium, building 113 on the CTC campus, and signs will mark the location of the events.

The forum should conclude around 8:00 p.m. and will be moderated by Daniel Melder. Melder is a 1999 graduate of Lampasas High School, an award-winning journalist with experience in print and broadcast media across the South, and a longtime Democratic Party activist leader. Melder currently serves as an adviser to the Lampasas County Young Democrats.

Everyone is encouraged to attend, and there is no charge to attend. This is an excellent opportunity for the voters of Bell, Burnet, and Lampasas Counties to meet the candidates before the primary election on Tuesday, March 7, 2006. The winner of the Democratic Primary will take on the Republican candidate in the November general election. “Our theme for the event is the Texas Revolution,” said Casey Norman, Vice President of the Lampasas County Young Democrats, “as Democrats remember the Texas Revolution, and look forward to a new kind of revolution at the ballot box in 2006.”

For more information about the event, please contact LCYD President Jasmine Bruns via telephone at (512) 556-2819 or LCYD Vice President Casey Norman via telephone at (512) 932-2788.
