Bay Area Houston

There is no other choice.

Late last year Traci Gibson woke up and decided to run for the Chair of HCDP, the 3rd largest county in the United States. She was a newly appointed precinct chair. She hasn’t participated in the party or even donated to the party. She didn’t vote in the Democratic primary in 2024. Or 2022. Or 2020. She has made flimsy claims about the state of the Party. She has been endorsed by just two organizations, Houston Black American Democrats and Area 5. And she publicly made claims that elected officials like Houston Controller Chris Hollins endorsed her campaign, yet there is no evidence he did. You can view the video here. Her statement begins at 1:29:27.

Do us a favor and don’t vote for her.

Mike Doyle took office a few years ago. He inherited a Party deep in debt. In the short time as Chair Mike has raised money, the most important task of a Chair. He pulled us out of debt and has a $3.5 million budget to win in 2026. Mike has bee accessible. He visited our local club a couple of times informing us of the state of the Party. Mike has stood strong with our union members even rescheduling our major fundraiser until the strike was resolved. Overall Mike has performed well. Not perfect but close. At a time when we need to unite in order to take the House of Representatives and put a stop to Trump’s lawlessness we do not need a change in leadership.

Mike can be found at the very bottom of the ballot.
