Hidalgo County Texas Democratic Women   (HCTDW)

The Hidalgo County Texas Democratic Women (HCTDW) began with a small group of women who came together to form an organization that promoted the participation and influence of Democratic women in local politics and government. These women had a vision that women in Hidalgo County could participate in the Hidalgo County Democratic party with equal standing, value, and influence. As part of the path to accomplishing this, they knew that they had to develop and increase their campaign skills and learn more about how to run successful campaigns, that they had to be more willing to run for office by recruiting more women to run and really supporting each other when they did and by being willing and able to contribute and raise money for candidates and campaigns.
