The Bexar County Democratic Party is finally getting off the streets. Carla Vela, party chairwoman expects to sign a lease this week for headquarters space at 3010 N. St. Mary's Street and move in Friday.

Can the Democrats now afford rent, even at the bargain price of one-thousand dollars per month? Vela who stepped in as chair in May is optimistic."We have all kinds of funraisers coming up," Vela said.

"We've got to fill the treasury, because I started with nothing. But it is going good."

In the meantime, volunteers will have to run the headquarters. Vela said the party would eventually hire an executive director and office manager.

"I want the office on a central location, so it is accessible to everybody," she said.
