Chair John Podesta-

I have been since 2007 a Hillary Super Volunteer! I am a longtime friend of John West and he thought it  a good idea to email you.

My name is Art Pronin, I organized Harris County Tx-my home-in 2007 before there was even a Hillary campaign or OFA here! It gained lots of attention and it grew and grew. Hillary herself recognized my efforts then and in the Tx primary I did get a small stipend.

I since became president of Meyerland Area Democrats-which I molded into the must stop Democratic org in the state. Wendy Davis to congressmen, state reps and big donors all come through our huge org. We also gained many awards for our GOTV effort in 2014- swinging our 20 precincts blue while the rest of the county more red.

I am the one who in 2007 meet Kim Frederick who came to one of my Hillary meetings-and then met John West as well. Now look!

I am in hopes of dialogue with you on a few concerns Ive had in the grassroots that I feel need to be addressed soon. Im seen as the grassroots leader here still for most. (Yes ive interacted with others int he campaign but either I dont hear back or I feel unheard).

Hope my contacting you was the right thing to do. Burns Strider and Tracy Sefl are huge boosters of mine (well Ann Lewis of course also).

Thanks much

Art Pronin

Pres Meyerland Area Democrats
