Montgomery County County/Congressional District Convention



It's Not Too Late to Register and Attend!

Political Party Conventions are the next step on the road to our nation's General Elections. After the primaries, each County and Congressional District in Texas holds a Convention to submit resolutions which help guide the Party's platform, elect Delegates to the State Convention, attend to local Party business, and generally have a rousing good time as we celebrate our common values and beliefs.

The Montgomery County Democratic Party County/Congressional District Convention will be Saturday March 23, 2024 starting at 10 am. Join us to see local politics in the works.

The day will include:



• Credentialing and Selection of Delegates
• Submission and Presentation of Resolutions
• Meetings of each Congressional District (CD 2 and CD 8)
• Candidate Speeches
• A Keynote Speaker
• Silent Auction
• Plant Sale
• Food for purchase
• The Blue Texas Store
• Photo Opps with Joe and Kamala (not live and in person!)
• Candidate signs and bumper stickers for sale
• Opportunities to learn what you can do to help get out the vote
• and an opportunity to meet and hang out with new Democratic friends

How to Write a Resolution

“A resolution is a formal expression of opinion, will, or intent by an official body or assembled group; a declaration submitted to an assembly for adoption.” 

That is the formal definition of a Resolution. You may submit a resolution formally through the State portal by clicking here. This portal will be closed on March 21 - 22 for processing and then reopened on the day of the Convention. We will also have forms to be filled out at our County Convention. The form makes it easier for our Resolutions Committee to start out with documents that are structured the same way.

Submission of Resolutions and Platform

Individual Delegates to the County Convention may submit resolutions to the Resolutions Committee at the County Convention. The resolutions are accumulated by the Resolutions Committee where they combine similar resolutions, standardize the format and wording in order to report the resolutions approved by the Resolutions Committee to the County Convention. A priority at the County Convention is for the Delegates to vote on the Resolutions. The County Secretary certifies and submits our approved Resolutions to the State Party for consideration by the State Resolution and Platform Committee.

What Kinds of Issues are Submitted as Resolutions?

Resolutions range from issues such as support for Ukraine and Gaza or support for the separation of Church and state, social justice reform, women’s health, or whatever is important to you. 

Extra resolution forms will be available at the Convention and help will be available too.

Submitting a resolution for consideration is an important step in communicating with our Party’s leadership.
