We had such a fabulous meeting in February; getting to hear from all four men who want to lead the Republican Party of Texas was enlightening. The differences were clear. I can only hope that the SREC will make the right choice and if they don’t, that the delegates at convention will do better. As each of them answered, I kept listening for answers that would meld into my idea of a great leader. If the election cycles of the last...

This month’s program may be one of the most important of the year: it will give each of you a chance to meet three of the men vying to become the next Chair of the Republican Party of Texas. Hopefully you’ll have an opportunity to ask them the questions that you feel will reveal their abilities, their plans and maybe even their prejudices – all important information to have.

We have said farewell to 2014- and what a year it was. We saw Republicans take the Senate for a complete Congressional majority for the first time in 20 years. Perhaps we may now take some comfort that in 2015 some level of sanity will be visited upon the halls of Congress. Let us hope that 2015 lives up to potential for real change in Washington.

The only thing that I am sure of is that we will elect a lot of politicians and if we are very lucky, even a few statesmen. UPDATE: Voters have spoken! We won! The difference between a politician and a statesman has been...

It could not have been the success that it was but for the outstanding energy and leadership of our 3rd Vice President – Ways and Means: the incomparable Buffie Ingersoll. She and her event committee did an outstanding job of taking care of all of the details in pulling...

I do hope everyone had a restful summer and that you are reinvigorated and ready to get to work for November. There is much to do, both in Texas and nationally, to reverse the course of destruction upon which the current administration is set. We can all rest in December. But do not, for a moment, think that taking control of the Senate means our job is over; indeed it is just the beginning. We will blink and find ourselves in...
