Samir Becic, Houston’s Official “Fitness Czar“, attended the Meyerland Dems Holiday Party on Monday, December 19th. The party, organized by Meyerland Democrats and their President Art Pronin was well attended and enjoyed by elected and city officials.

Mr. Pronin gave a welcome speech that introduced the event’s esteemed attendees including Harris County Judge Lina Hidalgo, the new Harris County Judge for Precinct 4 Lesley Briones, Harris County Treasurer-elect Carla Wyatt, Harris County District Clerk Marilyn Burgess Houston’s Official Fitness Czar Samir Becic, State Representative Ron Reynolds, Judge Richard Hightower, Judge Robert Johnson among many others.

Art Pronin has presided over Meyerland Democrats since 2011 and is credited with growing the organization to what it is today- the largest such neighborhood Democratic Party organization in Texas. Speakers have included: Former Houston Mayor Annise Parker, Congressman Beto O’Rourke, Congressman Castro, Congressman Al Green, Congresswoman Sheila Jackson Lee, Congresswoman Sylvia Garcia, Mayor Sylvester Turner, as well as many State Representatives and Senators.
The Meyerland Democrats organization is noted for having the highest turnout precincts in the state. Their GOTV programs in 2016 and 2018 prevented key swing precincts from flipping to the GOP ticket and expanded more precincts to carrying the ticket.

Samir commented on how incredible of a community leader Art Pronin is. He has a natural gift of bringing people together and creating a positive and joyful experience; evidenced by the success of the holiday party. As Houston’s Fitness Czar, Samir also noted appreciated the lean chicken and avocado as part of the menu for guests 🙂
