A whole boatload of area Democratic groups are holding a consolidated endorsement meeting tonight at the AFL-CIO hall downtown at 1106 Lavaca (immediately northwest of the Governor’s Mansion). That means you can expect a boatload of candidates there making presentations, probably every Democrat running for anything in Travis County. The groups involved include the South Austin Democrats, Capital Area Progressive Democrats, Texas Environmental Democrats, Capital City Young Democrats, Capital Area Asian American Democrats, Southwest Austin Democrats, and Austin Tejano Democrats. The meeting begins at 6pm and is expected to run about four hours.
