Happy Hour with Democrats! June 23rd

It is with heavy hearts that we announce the loss of our friend Tim Mahoney after a recent illness. He led the Northeast Travis County Democrats for several years. He was a workhorse in the Democratic Party and the Environmental Community, he will be missed.

We forward with sorrow this news from the Pflugerville Area Democrats:

It is with deep grief that I share the news - a good friend, hard working colleague and fierce campaigner, Denee Barsalou, passed away this morning. She will be missed in a myriad of ways.
