18 of Austin's newest Volunteer Deputy Registrars covered the Texas Capitol Wednesday for the Ramon Ayala concert sponsored by the Mexican American Legislative Caucus. The event, which drew thousands of fans, was a wonderful kickoff for our voter registration program.
Grassroots volunteer Bob Hendricks, supposing that the event might draw in people from neighboring counties, went to Hays and Williamson Counties this morning to get deputized to register voters from those counties.
"I figured it would be helpful, and I got to register three people from Williamson County tonight," he said.
Deputies are fired up to register more voters this weekend. "That was great! When can I do this again?" asked Andrea Rose. "I stood at the entrance and got five people to register; a few change of addresses, and a few new voters. It was a lot of fun."
