In previous blogs, I addressed the need for creating and implementing a written, living Strategic Development Plan to advance our party into the turbulent flow of Texas political waters. Collin County Democratic Party current elected leadership not having a written plan is a major reason why we've continue to lose every election for decades. A key to making change happen is a much needed Infrastructure Redevelopment Initiative.
Once an Infrastructure Redevelopment Initiative is determined and implemented, a Strategic Development Plan for continuous improvement must be put into play in order for Collin County Democratic Party to be successful, both as an extension of the Democratic Party at the state and national level as well as for the Community-At-Large.

As CCDP Chair, I'll work with the new Executive Leadership team, the County Executive Committee, and the Collin County community, to address more specific ideas relative to continuous improvement programming to ensure the new Strategic Development Plan's efficacy. Below is an overview of what that plan might look like as a living document:
