Karen Get’s Neighborhood Democrats’ Endorsements
Karen Derr is proud to receive the endorsement of two neighborhood clubs, the Oak Forest and the Spring Branch Democrats in August. Their support is particularly meaningful to Derr who is running on a platform of neighborhood concerns which she feels are key to Houston’s future growth and prosperity. “If we continue to let our City of Houston neighborhoods become more blighted, we will be hard pressed to maintain our tax base or attract new industry,” says Derr. The two neighborhood Democratic clubs screened candidates after requiring a completion of an in depth questionnaire which focused both on political values and knowledge of neighborhood issues. All candidates endorsed by the Spring Branch Democrats won in a vote by 75% or more of the member in attendance. Karen Derr has also received the endorsement of the Seafarers’ Union, the C.W.A. Union, and the Houston Stonewall Young Democrats.
