“The LBJ-Obama dinner offers Democrats an opportunity to enjoy an evening together and listen to speeches by some of our great leaders,” said Delia Parker-Mims, DCDP chair.

“Our keynote speaker will be lawyer Wendy Davis, a former Texas State Senator and 2014 gubernatorial candidate. Our guest speaker will be Texas House Representative Jasmine Crockett who is seeking to replace Eddie Bernice Johnson in the U.S. House of Representatives for Congressional District 30.”
