Please attend the Collin County Senatorial District 8 Convention on Saturday, March 22, 2014 at the Community Unitarian Universalist Church, 2875 E Parker Rd, Plano, TX 75074 - map.  Collin County Senate District 8 includes the southwestern areas of Collin County, including all or portions of the following cities within the territory of Collin County: Plano, Frisco, Allen, parts of McKinney, Fairview, Lucas, Parker, Murphy, Dallas, Richardson, Sachse, and more.

In past years, the Democratic Party of Collin County convened a joint Senatorial District 8 and Senatorial District 30 "County Convention," within District 8 territory.

NOTE: Under Texas Democratic Party rules newly revised in December 2013, Precinct Conventions are no longer held immediately after polling places close on Primary Election Day.

Precinct Conventions have moved from Primary Election Day to the top of the SD Convention agenda to elect Delegates and Alternate Delegates to the State Democratic Convention.

Conventions are where grassroots Democrats meet to elect state party officers, set party message and platform, and develop campaign volunteers and activists.

We depend on grassroots Democrats to help pay the cost of our conventions. PLEASE, if you have a few dollars to spare, we will greatly appreciate your donation.  Click the PLEASE DONATE button to go to the donate page.
