HOUSTON (AP) ? Texas Democratic Party leaders are rallying their supporters as their state convention as they try to build their party from the ground up to win more elections.
Outgoing Chairman Boyd Ritchie said he's spent the last six year building the foundations of a competitive political party in a state dominated by Republicans.
He said the party has won important local elections in all of the state's major urban areas. He said it's time to start promoting those politicians to run for statewide offices.
Fort Worth Senator Wendy Davis praised Ritchie for helping her enter politics and encouraging more to run for office.
San Antonio Mayor Julian Castro is expected to give the convention's keynote address. U.S. Trade Representative Ron Kirk, a former Dallas mayor, will also give a major speech.
