That meant that for the second consecutive Satuday I got up out of bed early so that I could be at the Sunnyside area venue in which the Houston Black Area Democrats (H-BAD) endorsement meeting was being held before it started at 9 AM.
It was my first time doing their endorsement meeting, and was nice seeing old freinds and meeting some new ones. I laughed when I got asked the question by a few people in attendance if I was running for office in this cycle, and when I said 'Not yet", that question truned into 'When was I going to run for office?
91 people screened for the H-BAD endorsement, which is one of the Big Four endorsements of Houston progressive Democratic politics.
These endorsement meetings can have a lot of drama that rivals the best reality TV shows. There's twists and turns. People getting endorsements as expected, and others who didn't get it from the screening committe, but who flipped it once itgot to the meeting.
People can win or lose endorsements based on what they say that sways the people in the room or pisses them off.
