“I had no clue,” he said. But then president Lee Daugherty “did a good job preparing me.”
Vance credits Dougherty for grooming him to take over as president of what is the largest Democratic club in Texas, the largest Stonewall organization in the country and one of the largest LGBTQ organizations in Dallas and the state.
Upon becoming president, Vance knew he was up for a challenge. But, he thought, “This is going to be fun.”
