Early Voting started on October 20th and will continue through the 31st (Halloween). The best time to vote is to vote early, so don’t miss your last chance to early vote. Election Day is Nov. 4th. More details below, including links to research those propositions, info about the candidates, & DCDP recommendations. Join us this month for our First Fridays Happy Hour, November Club Meeting, Breakfast Club, & Adopt-a-Spot Clean up. All the details are included below. And enjoy this month’s calendar (attached).  

As one of the longest serving Democratic clubs in the county, we pride ourselves on offering a variety of events & activities, consistently, each and every month. We offer monthly club meetings, so you can come and socialize with your fellow Dems and be informed each meeting as we bring in speakers to present on a variety of relevant topics, host candidates for office, and provide you with ways to get better connected & more involved. We offer training opportunities. We offer volunteer opportunities. We offer community. We offer hope. 

Come see all the Flower Mound Area Democrats are doing. Jump in and join us!

Where: You can vote at any polling location in Denton County during Early Voting, but here are some EV locations in Flower Mound & Lewisville:

She is a true supporter of our public schools against a state legislature that is not. A far-right group recruited her opponent to run against her simply because of her (Michelle’s) last name. Don’t let this kind of hate win here. Vote for Michelle Alkhatib. Vote for advocacy. Vote for experience.

***These are per recommendations of the Denton County Democratic Party. You can also check out Lone Star Left for their Ballot Guide recommendations and reasonings here: https://www.lonestarleft.com/p/texas-2025-constitutional-amendments or a non–partisan guide like The League of Women Voters. 

Your vote counts, and that is especially true in low-voter-turn-out elections like these. This is where you live, and it matters who you pick to lead locally because it will absolutely affect you where you live. 

Election Day Voting for Special Election:

When: Tues, November 4th, 7am-7pm. 

Where: In Denton County, you can ONLY vote in your precinct’s specific voting location. You can look that up here: www.votedenton.gov Do a Voter Lookup, enter your name & birthdate, and it will tell you your precinct number, where your precinct can vote on election day, and your sample ballot. 

In any election here in Denton County, if you show up at the wrong location on Election Day, you will be turned away. Election workers will try to help you find the correct location per your precinct. If you insist on voting at the wrong location, the election workers may give you a provisional ballot. However, your vote on that provisional ballot will not count. So on election day, be sure to vote in your precinct’s specific polling location.

Go to www.votedenton.gov to check your registration status, see your sample ballot, and confirm your polling locations and hours.

FMAD October Club Meeting & Multi-Candidate Fundraiser:

When: Wednesday, October 15th, 6:30 pm – 8:00 pm 

Where: Creekwood Christian Church, Great Room/Common Area, 2660 Forest Vista Dr., Flower Mound, TX, 75028

What: Too many of us Dems for too long have hyper-focused on national politics & national candidates to the exclusion of all else. We’re accustomed to paying attention to national politics and opening our wallets for national candidates. We donate to presidential campaigns and anyone willing to run against Ted Cruz or John Cornyn. Meanwhile, our more local candidates are out here having to use their own money to buy expensive lit and expensive signs to try to get the word out about their campaigns and win their local races. And then we wonder why it’s hard to find good candidates to run for office. Here in our FMAD Club, we are trying to change that. That’s why we’re turning our October Club Meeting into an all-in-one fundraising event for some of our local candidates: Ernest Lineberger for CD26, Denise Wooten for TX HD63, Detrick DeBurr for TX HD65, Clare Harris for Flower Mound Town Council, Michelle Alkhatib for LISD Board of Trustees Place 6, Stephanie Draper for Denton County Commissioner Precinct 4, and Dale Frey for Denton County Commissioner Precinct 2. These are important local races (some of them non-partisan) that will affect you right where you live. So let’s open our wallets for them! Our goal is to raise a $1000 for each each candidate. Come enjoy pizza & cake & door prizes, and meet & hear directly from each of these great candidates. Each candidate will have a table you can visit, meet the candidate & pick up some lit and maybe a sign or two, and each will display a QR code you can use to donate to their individual campaigns. ***We are recommending that our members/attendees try, if they can, to donate $20 to each candidate, but our candidates will absolutely take whatever you can give.*** Local liberal-owned businesses will be providing some of our door prizes for our club meeting attendees. The event starts at 6:30 pm, with attendees being welcomed to eat & drink and meet the candidates at their tables & to donate to their campaigns. Starting at 7:00 pm, each candidate will have a chance to speak. Then at 7:45 we will draw and announce our door prize winners. Event to end at 8:00 pm. Members who cannot attend in person can still participate virtually by donating to these candidates’ campaigns online through their websites.

We have a great bench of local candidates who we really want to see get elected, so we wanted to host a fundraiser that will benefit each of them. Let us know you’re coming here: FMAD October Club Meeting & Multi-Candidate Fundraiser

***Disclaimer: Creekwood Christian Church does not financially support individual political candidates nor does it sponsor expressly political fundraising.

***A Quick Word on Venue Etiquette***

We are always grateful to the venues that are willing to host us for our gatherings. Out of appreciation for their willingness to host and accommodate us and out of respect to the waitstaff who work hard to serve us, let’s make sure each of us are 1) Being extra-patient with and respectful of waitstaff who are waiting upon a sometimes extra-large group of us. 2) Paying not just our tab but tipping extra (20% is reasonable, customary, and highly recommended).

We are the Flower Mound Area Democrats. Showing our appreciation and respect for the venues that host us and the service workers that serve us in these spaces is not just about ensuring our image in the community is a positive one, it’s simply the right thing to do.
