Burnet Area Democrats Get New Look on Web

The Burnet County Democratic Party is establishing a new high tech internet interface to connect the area’s different Democratic Party groups and clubs.

The Burnet County Democrats, The Highland Lakes Democratic Women, and the Burnet County Young Democrats and the Llano County Democratic Party are all represented. A new ’527′ PAC in District 18, the Generationist Political Action Committee (GENPAC) is the sponsor of the new Democratic network here in the Texas Hill Country. Several Facebook pages are being developed, some started by our IT solutions team (headed by Riley Carruthers of Datavise in Austin) and some started by Facebook itself.

Michael Steenbergen, the new Webmaster for the network, under the direction of Democratic Party County Chair, Guy Stuart, is developing four websites directly under the control of the Party. Steenbergen, a Microsft Certified Internet Developer and IT Consultant for various Democratic Party groups and support organizations is also the founder of GENPAC.

Well known for giving the Republican Party a hard time, Mr. Steenbergen has hit the ground running and the effect is already noticeable.

Steenbergen will be attending a luncheon tomorrow afternoon at 12:30 at Hidden Falls Restaurantin which the logo will be presented to the group.
