About 300-350 showed up. Check out #HTXBernie for pix. It was a pretty diverse group age wise. Most white, but a few Latinos and AAs as well.

An interesting story. It was at the CWA union hall and the VP of the local CWA was the first speaker. He said in 2007, a young black senator from Chicago called and asked if he could use the hall for a rally. And the rest was history.
