As we approach the end of 2015 we also approach the end of my term as your President. It has been a delight and an honor to serve you, and I thank you for the opportunity. We’ve had some incredible programs over the last two years, especially the many forums that we’ve pulled together so that you would have an “up close and personal” chance to meet and learn about the candidates. At least we know that most of them are...

We are thirteen months from a Republican winning the White House… so now you know how I mark my calendar. While 2015 may be closing out, 2016 promises to be a busy, and very important, year for all of us. We in Texas know how to put Republicans in every top job in Texas, now we need to do it nationally as well. I know that each of you will play a role……you will get involved and make a difference...

I can hardly believe that summer has flown past and it’s September. At this rate, Christmas can only be a week away!

It won’t be long before we are in full blown primary mode and working hard for the candidates. While at the NFRW Legislative Day last month I had the opportunity to hear Newt Gingrich speak and he said something that really gave me a moment of pause. He said, “Don’t vote for the...

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...
