The Tarrant County Young Democrats are a group of students, young professionals and young-at-heart Democrats. Our members come from all over Tarrant County. We work to spread the Democratic message to voters through fundraising, voter registration drives, block walking, community outreach events, volunteering, press events, and other activities.

With tuition deregulation, the War in Iraq, the Patriot Act, the Texas school financing disaster and the general failure of Republicans to create any solution to the problems facing young Texans, there is no time to act like now. Please help us build a strong Tarrant County Young Democrats organization by attending our next meeting or event. We’ll see you soon.

At the January 16th Meeting, we held new officer elections.

Democrat Dan Barrett defeated Republican Mark Shelton on Tuesday in the runoff to replace Republican state Rep. Anna Mowery in the Texas House.

Thanks to all the Young Dems who participated in our Get Out The Vote efforts in this election!
