Williams Accomplishes Historic Fete at Texas Dem Convention

Don Williams not only survived a re-election bid for SDEC at the Texas Democratic Convention but there were a series of other things he accomplished that hadn't been done before. In addition to being re-elected he was also elected as a 2012 National Delegate, and a National Elector from Texas to the Presidential Electoral College.

Most importantly though, Williams was elected to the Permanent Rules Committee of the Texas Democratic Party, which is extremely influential within the Party.

To my knowledge, that is the most titles any Democrat from El Paso has ever achieved at a convention. It makes it even more significant when you consider Don Williams is African-American in a community that is largely Latino, and even more so within the Democratic Party.
