TDW-EC welcomed member, Liza Hameline, who gave an informative presentation on the importance of voting in the primary election – even if a candidate is unopposed, how we can turn Texas BLUE, and answered many questions. Liza is a Texas attorney with over 23 years in regulatory compliance and policy, including work on Capitol Hill with the Children’s Defense Fund advancing legislation to prevent childhood gun deaths. A longtime resident in Irving, in Dallas County, she has held senior regulatory and policy roles with GE Capital, Tenet Healthcare, and Amazon, and has served Dallas County as an Election Judge since 2020. In 2024, she was elected National Delegate for Vice President Kamala Harris representing CD-6 and later founded the Beltline Area Democrats after leading a bipartisan campaign that turned out 500 new voters in Irving’s most recent City Council election. She continues to champion the long-neglected democrats in the suburban and rural counties across CD-6, no matter how the maps are drawn.
