Neil traveled to Austin last Saturday with the signatures of 793 citizens of Texas District 26 who are ready to return government to the people. Neil filed with Texas Democratic Party for a place on the March 2 Primary ballot, on which he is now confirmed to be the only Democratic candidate for Congress in our district.
Stephanie Leavitt of the Texas Democratic Party congratulated Neil for his campaign's thoroughness in gathering and preparing these signatures, which helped the campaign avoid a $3200 filing fee. She was also impressed that Neil brought over 100 more valid, certified signatures than required.
Even with the small victory, the official filing is the sounding trumpet signaling the beginning of a great year of awakening a long dormant electorate. So get out there and spread the word of an energized, innovative campaign ready to being long-needed change to North Texas!
