Democrats opening HQ in New Braunfels

Democrats in the Republican stronghold of Comal County will celebrate the re-establishment of a year-round party headquarters with a planned ribbon-cutting Wednesday at 1592 W. San Antonio Ave. in New Braunfels.

“We haven't had a permanent county office in at least 20 years,” said Robbi Boone, the county's Democratic Party chairwoman, in announcing the grand opening set from 5 p.m. to 7 p.m..

The public is invited to hear Gilberto Hinojosa, the state Democratic Parcy chairman, and Donna Beth McCormick, president of Texas Democratic Women, speak.
