Burleson County Democrats host dinner social discussing state of democracy 90 days from election
CALDWELL, Texas (KBTX) – With the 2024 Presidential Election just 90 days away, Burleson County Democrats hosted a dinner and candidate social to discuss the state of the party on the heels of Tuesday morning’s news.
Within the social at the Caldwell Civic Center Tuesday evening, several local democratic candidates spoke on the race. This dinner came just hours after US Vice President Kamala Harris and Democratic nominee in the presidential election announced Minnesota Governor Tim Walz as her running mate.
Theresa Boisseau, running for US House of Representatives in District 10, told KBTX her party remains hopeful. She said she hopes for a “safe and secure election,” with a “ticket that is going to defend democracy.”
Meanwhile, Linda Adair, the Burleson County Democratic Party Chair, spoke to the character of Walz, the US VP Democratic nominee.
“He’s intelligent. He has a lot of work experience, a background that is really helpful to relate to people, and that’s really important that we relate to people,” said Adair.
Last week, supporters of former President and Republican nominee Donald Trump gathered at the Burleson County Expo Center for a “Make America Great Again” rally. The man of honor was not in attendance, but the spirit was certainly palpable.
