The Lake Travis Democrats welcome all neighbors and friends interested in the history, accomplishments, and national and local work of the Democratic Party. The Lake Travis Democratic Club is made up of precincts from Lakeway, Bee Cave, Spicewood, Hudson Bend, Lake Wind, and Steiner Ranch.

Lake Travis Democrats will host a holiday party for all area Democrats in December. For the more information about the holiday party (including the date, time, and location), contact Judy Donohue, president@laketravisdemocrats.org, 214 228-1532, or visit our website at www.laketravisdemocrats.org. Democrats are encouraged to bring canned goods and other items for stocking a food pantry to the party. Items will be donated to Lake Travis Crisis Ministries.

For the November meeting, the Lake Travis Democrats featured The Honorable Karen Huber, Travis County Commissioner for Precinct Three. Commissioner Huber gave an informative presentation at the meeting. Travis County Commissioners and the County Judge are the chief policy-making and administrative branch of our county government. Among their many functions, the Commissioners Court sets the tax rate, determines fees for many county services, and determines how the collected revenues will be distributed among different county departments to provide services to the community.

Huber was elected to the Travis County Commissioners Court in November 2008. She took office in January 2009 for a four year term. She brings over 20 years of professional experience in economic development, real estate development, business management and electric and water utilities management consulting. She has lived in the western part of Precinct 3 since 1995. Commissioner Huber strives to address the real problems that our community faces every day, and to build a responsible plan for growth that ensures that Travis County remains a great place to live and work. Huber also works with state legislators to obtain more land-use authority for counties that would help protect our quality of life and long-term economic vitality.
