OUR MISSION STATEMENT:
The goal of the Wimberley Democrats (WimDems) is to take every reasonable action to have as many Democrats elected as possible.
To achieve this goal, WimDems will: support local, state, and national Democratic candidates and office holders; promote democratic ideals; provide scholarships; and support equity and justice for all people everywhere.
RE-ELECT HAYS COUNTY JUDGE RUBEN BECERRA!
Democracy is on the ballot and we need a Hays County Judge who will stand up to Abbott and the radical Republican agenda.
Our local county elections matter more than ever.
ELECT KELLY HIGGINS FOR HAYS COUNTY DISTRICT ATTORNEY!
Few elected officials have more impact on our lives than the local DA. The decisions our new DA will make on where to focus resources, and where NOT to, will be critical.
Kelly Higgins will be focused on dangerous criminals and polluters.
Conversely, Kelly's opponent is focused on pleasing his donors and the extremists in his party. He will be punishing women who have to seek abortions and locking up veterans with PTSD and other occasional marijuana users.
We need an official who will stand up to Greg Abbott, Dan Patrick and the radical Republican agenda.
RE-ELECT DR. ELAINE CARDENAS FOR HAYS COUNTY CLERK!
The county clerks office handles our most sensitive data and issues marriage or birth certificates. We need a county clerk who has the professional experience and ethics to be trusted with this data and who will treat every constituent with respect, dignity and compassion irrespective of their political or religious background.
That's why it's so important to keep Dr. Cardenas as our county clerk. She has done an amazing job since 2018 to bring her office into the 21st century.
ELECT DAPHNE TENORIO FOR HAYS COUNTY TREASURER!
We need an experienced, qualified and competent treasurer in Hays County. Daphne understands that the office of treasurer is important for a Hays County administration in order to work efficiently and to work for us.
ELECT JIMMY ALAN HALL TO THE HAYS COUNTY COURT-AT-LAW #1!
Justice delayed is justice denied.
We need Jimmy Alan Hall on the Hays County Court-at-Law #1 to make the justice system in Hays County fairer.
ELECT ELAINE BROWN TO THE HAYS COUNTY COURT-AT-LAW #3!
Access to mental health care and equal access to courts for everyone are essential to guarantee a fair justice system.
Elaine Brown will make this a priority at the County Court-at-Law #3.
ELECT DR. MICHELLE GUTIERREZ COHEN AS COMMISSIONER IN PCT 2!
In order to make life better for everyone in Hays County, we need a majority on the Commissioners Court. That's why the race in precinct 2 is so important. With Dr. Michelle Gutierrez Cohen, we have an experienced and caring candidate with vision who will represent the people and not special interests and extremists.

Patty Nilsson
I’ve always been an organizer and advocate for the Democratic Party's beliefs and goals. So becoming a Precinct Chair was a natural fit.
It’s hard work, but I’m able to effect the very change I’ve advocated for my entire life, and make a difference in our community and beyond.
What could be better than that?
I look forward to meeting everyone in #333 and working with you all to "Be the Change” we need in America.
It starts with "We, the People!"

Mindy Webber
I love being the Democratic Precinct Chair for 335. I'm a retired teacher who loves sharing information, and who loves the ideals of what our country can be. I am a Democrat because I feel strongly in equalizing the playing field for everyone. My goal is to help you vote Democratic. Voting is the cornerstone of our Democracy, and it is my passion.

Sandra Organ Solis
My name is Sandra Organ Solis and I have served as a Democratic Precinct Chair for Hays County precinct 337 since 2020. I live in Woodcreek North, where many new neighbors are moving to the Wimberley area. We need their voices and votes in staking claim to the quality, safety, and viability that their presence deserves in this community.

Sheri Scott
Sheri Scott has a PhD from the University of Arkansas in Soil and Environmental Science. She owns an environmental consulting company and is director of a non-profit. She works with farmers to manage manure in a manner to protect quality of surface and drinking water supplies. And she works with developers and land engineers to permit projects to protect on-site wetlands. She lives off Highway 12 between Wimberley and San Marcos with her teenage stepson, 2 dogs, and too many cats. She believes it’s time for a change to our approach to living in the United States. That we each need to amplify the message of the majority, and make engagement in the care of our country, our state, and our local communities a part of our daily routines. And we need to teach our children how to effect change, thereby ensuring the survival of democracy for generations to come.
Get connected with the WimDems and help support our candidates and our democratic values.
We are currently recruiting members and volunteers to help us work with our Precinct Chairs and Get Out the Vote!
We need helpers to work phone banks, send texts, design and send postcard mailers, work our Social Media outlets, watch the Polls, Register Voters and more!
Join the WimDems and help us restore Democracy!
