Fort Bend County Democratic Party Chair-elect Steve Brown today released the names of his transition team. “There’s a lot that will need to happen in order for our county to be an asset to the statewide Democratic ticket,” Brown stated. “I think this team will help us assess our immediate goals and shortcomings.”

Transition team members include:

State Representative-elect Ronald Reynolds, Mark Bankston, Clara Caldwell, Joelynn Clouser, Matthew Davis, Andrea Downey, Lynn Franklin, S. Qaisar Imam, Rudy Velasquez, Elizabeth Lyles, Deron Patterson, Don Payne, Matthew Probus, Farhan Shamsi and Kathy Soltani.

This group is specifically charged with drafting a set of guidelines that will be used to develop a Strategic Plan for the Party. Areas of focus include precinct chair recruitment and retention, growing local Democratic clubs, fund-raising and establishing a Democratic brand in Fort Bend.

“Although I’ll seek the advice and counsel of many Democratic activists, I’m asking this group to jump-start the process of drafting our blueprint for success,” Brown added.
