We call upon the TDP to create a federated system of websites for all county parties so that resources can be better spent on GOTV and other matters.
Subpages for All County Parties on TDP's Website
Federated Website System for County Parties
- Similar to the Unions, allow counties to create/manage subpages on the TDP page.
- EX: www.lampasas.texasdemocrats.org would go to the LCDP site, even if it’s just a forward link.
If the average website cost is $20/mo+ $20/yr for URL purchase and there are 254 counties, then collectively, all county parties could be spending up to $66,000/yr. Certain subpage systems can reduce this cost to $10/mo or less per website w/ no need to buy a URL, saving upwards of $35,500/yr.
Most folks outside of the Party DO NOT DISTINGUISH the difference between the State or the County Parties. We know and recognize the difference. Most people do not.
Because of this, all work a County Party does will reflect directly on the TDP and vice versa. The more resources a County Party can put into GOTV and less into overhead, the better for us all.
We need to centralize better and automate certain processes while maintaining local control. Federated websites and CRM systems are a great way to boost long-term effectiveness & efficiency.
