We are so proud to announce that our Political Director, Robert E. Jones, has been named by Politics Magazine as a 2009 Rising Star!
 

This is a prestigious award given to those under 35 who have already made a significant mark in political consulting.  Past recipients include Donna Brazile, David Axelrod, James Carville and Paul Begala - just to name a few!

Check out the announcement here!

While we are all beaming with pride, Robert would be the first to tell you that he couldn't have done it without the support from the Annie's List network or other staffers. 

And he's right - we've put together an incredible team with your support.  Check out the other members of the Annie's List board and staff here. 

If you're not already a part of the Annie's List network - sign up today to stay involved through our emails or check out the upcoming events in your area here!

Finally, we would be honored if you would consider making a contribution today to help Robert and the rest of the Annie's List team to guide our candidates - both our incumbents and challengers - to victory in 2010.  Thank you in advance for your continued support!

Annie's List is proud to endorse Annise Parker for Houston Mayor!

Annise Parker is the most qualified mayoral candidate to lead Houston through tough economic times- and make sure Houston keeps moving ahead. She has a plan to create jobs, secure Houston’s future as the headquarters for new energy development and maintain fiscal responsibility.

 

Houston is the fourth largest city in the nation and is bigger than sixteen states. The economic health of the City is vital to the rest of the state and the quality of life of millions of Texans. In addition, Harris County will play a critical role in Democrats taking back control of the Legislature before the 2011 redistricting process. Annise Parker is the only candidate with the experience and dedication needed to protect the health, safety and financial security of millions of Houston families in these tough economic times.

 

Annie's List has supported Parker in her previous campaigns for City Controller and will continue to do so in her race for mayor.
