Texas Democrats OK Platform at Houston Convention
Texas Democrats at the state convention in Houston adopted a party platform backing Briscoe for governor, chose new national committee members, and reeled against factionalism. The roster included Sue Jordan as vice chairman, Oscar Carrillo noting a Shriver appearance, and a mix of new and departing state executive committee members from Bexar and other districts amid loyalty questions and a lettuce boycott resolution.
