Neglected Voter in Fort Bend

I'm not feeling the love. As a matter of fact, I feel neglected. I've been voting in Democratic primaries for a long time, but who cares? There are all sorts of contested races on the ballot, but my mail box has been nearly empty of mail from Democratic candidates. Only one candidate made the effort to reach out to me by mail and ask for my vote.
Was it Bill White or Farouk Shami for Governor? No
Linda Chavez-Thompson, Ronnie Earle or Marc Katz for Lt. Governor? No
Hector Uribe or Bill Burton for Land Commissioner? No
Hank or Kinky for Ag Commissioner? No
Those three running for TX-22? No
Philip Aitsebaomo or Rodrigo Carreon for County Judge? No
I didn't get one piece of mail from any of the above (and not any email from over half of them.)
It was Steve Brown, running in the last race listed on my ballot - for Fort Bend County Democratic Party Chair. Thanks, Steve, for contacting me by mail, making your case and asking for my vote, not once, but twice.
It's the only political mail I got this go round. I voted early for Steve. It's my belief we need a change in leadership, and Steve has the energy and smarts to make things happen for Democrats in Fort Bend. Plus, he has a plan, with priorities - promoting the brand, growing the base, raising money, campaigns and elections, and leadership.
I urge you to vote for Steve Brown for Fort Bend County Democratic Party Chair on Tuesday, March 2nd.

Muse, darling
That is all why you should be Fort Bend Democratic Chair.
You could whip these folks into shape.
Crack!
