Texas Democratic Primary Is May 29—Kirkland And Fertitta Lack Credible Opponents In Two Harris County Races
The Texas Democratic primary will be held this month.
Primary Day is Tuesday, May 29. Early voting runs May 14-May 25.
The time by which you must register to vote to take part in the primary is already past.
Who may vote in this primary?
Any registered Texas voter may vote in the Democratic primary with the exception of those who have signed a ballot access petition for a Green or a Republican in 2012.
There are contested Democratic primaries in Harris County, and for all Texas on the upcoming ballot.
I have written about one of these contested primaries so far on the blog.
Another easy race to call is the primary for the Democratic nomination for Harris County District Attorney.
Lyold Oliver has run for office a number of times before in Harris County as a Republican. He has also voted in Republican primaries.
Zack Fertitta is the only credible candidate on the Democratic ballot for DA.
You might feel that the two-party system is broken and in the hands of the rich.
You might be torn over the fact that while there are clear differences in many respects between the two major parties, that it is also so both parties ignore the poor, and are both leading us to a police state in which the super-wealthy call all the shots.
I will be voting in the Democratic primary.
I guess that is what I should do. It’s what I have done before.
Over the next few weeks I’ll be endorsing candidates in other contested Democratic races.
Maybe I’ll even find a real liberal someplace along the way.
Welcome To Texas Liberal
Texas Liberal is a blog of politics and political history.
My name is Neil Aquino. Here is my profile.
I can be reached at naa618@att.net.
Additional focuses of the blog are books, art, poetry, personal relationships and, also, sea life and marine mammals.

The signature post of this blog is the Martin Luther King Reading & Reference List. This list is the best of it’s kind on the web.
Another good post is my reciting the words to the Shaker hymn Simple Gifts on Galveston Island, Texas as a ship passes behind.
I live in Houston, Texas and I do sometimes write about political issues in Houston and in Texas.
I also often write about my former hometown of Cincinnati, and about the great beach city of Galveston, Texas.
I define liberalism as a role for government in the economy to help make life more fair, and a broad acceptance of people regardless of who they are.
This is why it says “All People Matter” at the top of the blog.
A blog grows one reader at a time. If you like what you read here, please consider forwarding the link.
Texas Liberal began regular posting on July 25, 2006.
I also blog at the Houston Chronicle as one of eight featured political bloggers, and on Where’s The Outrage? which posts out of North Carolina.
Thanks for reading Texas Liberal.
