Preston Smith Expected To Control Convention
Texas Democrats gear up for a two year agenda as Preston Smith, the gubernatorial nominee, expected to lead the party. The convention aims to write a platform, appoint a state chairman and a 62 member executive committee, with a push for stronger criminal laws and enforcement. Dissidents staged a rump convention in Dallas but failed to win recognition, while Smith seeks unity and a responsive government ahead of November elections against Republican Paul Eggers.
