President’s Voice – March 2024
Hello BARW!
March is a very busy month for Republican politics.
We made it through to the March 5th Primaries! The runoff election will be held on May 28, 2024. Early voting begins on May 20 and ends on May 24. Across Texas, 28 Republican races and 16 Democratic contests are heading to a May runoff. All Statewide Propositions Passed.
March 7th was the State of the Union address given by President Biden. I could not help but watch House Speaker Mike Johnson’s body language and expressions. It must be very difficult to keep a poker face. As you have heard at the start of many election cycles – THIS IS THE MOST IMPORTANT PRESIDENTAL ELECTION! Your vote is your voice, let it be heard. We must take our country back!
On March 8th, the Republican National Committee (RNC) Spring meeting was held here in Houston and a new leadership was officially elected. The members voted, North Carolina party Chairman, Michael Whatley to be the new Republican Party Chairman. The party also elected Lara Trump to be the co-chair over the Republican National Convention in Milwaukee.
The Harris County Precinct Convention for HD 128 & 129 was held on Saturday, March 9th. It all begins at the local precinct conventions and that is why every voter should consider participating. This is YOUR opportunity to have your voice heard and to carry it through to the state and national level. Even though we had a good gathering, many precincts were deficient in voters. We must do better!
I always appreciate the precinct, SD and State Conventions. This is where you find grassroots leadership and volunteers. I looked around the room and there were so many dedicated Republicans (and friends) that truly care about our county, state and country.
Keep Texas Red!
