Looking forward to seeing everyone tonight!

We will be welcoming Matthew Prudhomme as our speaker. Matthew is a data nerd who has worked as a Precinct Chair, Voter Registrar, Election Judge, and Campaign Manager in Harris County. He is now interested in using data to build community and inform other activists where their efforts can be most fruitful.

He will be talking about recent (2024-2026) Election data from Harris County and how we can use it to direct our strategic efforts going into the 2026 Midterms. He will also share a new approach that Powered By People, Beto O'Rourke's voter mobilization organization, is using to dramatically increase turnout in Texas, and how you can collaborate.

Dear Spring Branch Democrats,
Thank you for your patience as our new board came together to develop a plan of action for what promises to be an exciting and eventful year ahead. We are grateful for your continued support and enthusiasm!

We are pleased to announce that our next meeting will be held on Wednesday, March 18th from 6:30–7:30 PM at Taqueria Arandas (1840 Wirt Road), with social time before and after the meeting — so come early, stay late, and enjoy some good company!

As many of you will recall, we have been discussing moving our regular meetings from the first Monday of the month to the third Wednesday. This change would help us avoid scheduling conflicts with other like-minded organizations that also meet on the first Monday. March's meeting will serve as a trial run for this new date, and members will have the opportunity to vote on whether to make the third Wednesday our permanent meeting night going forward.

We look forward to seeing you on the 18th!
