Reply #3: Boyd Richie for TDP Chair

[TexasLinda]

I don't know Glen very well so I can't agree or disagree with jobycom's comments. But I have expressed some concern in an earlier Maxey post that contained a malicious rumor about Boyd Richie, candidate for TDP Chair. Boyd was a U.S. Senate Page under the patronage of Senator Ralph W. Yarbourgh and has been a life-long yellow dog Democrat. His wife, Betty, is a past president of Texas Democratic Women (http://www.tdw.org) and is on the DNC. His sister, Alica Hux, is the current president of TDW. They have all been working these past few years to bring TDW into the 21st century, using the internet to inform and organize their members. Boyd is actively running for TDP Chair and has been traveling around the state meeting with lots of Democrats. He's personable, politically savvy, internet savvy, and a heck of a nice guy. I have nothing good or bad to say about other possible candidates; competition is good for our democracy. But I'll be supporting Boyd Richie for Texas Democratic Party Chair.
