May 2020 Edition

Update from Chairman Dickey, May 2020

Dear Fellow Texas Republican,


I hope you and your family are doing well during these trying times. The
Republican Party of Texas (RPT) has been busy navigating some unprecedented
challenges but has continued firing on all cylinders. With your help and the
help of many Republican leaders across the state, we are still working
diligently towards victory in November!


During May, we resumed the Senate District and County Conventions that had
been postponed earlier this year. We encouraged our County Chairs and Temporary
Convention Chairs to hold their local conventions in a space with three times
the capacity of the expected attendance, to provide hand sanitizer, and to
respect the personal space of those who wish to socially distance or wear
masks. We are thrilled that so far our local conventions have been held safely
and been well attended. If you are unsure of the date, time, or location of
your County or Senate District Convention, please visit ourwebsite
<[link removed]> and
check with your County Chair to confirm. 


These Senate District and County Conventions will determine the delegates and
alternate delegates for our State Convention which we fully intend to hold
in-person, in Houston, from July 16th-18th. We have been in constant
communication with the relevant staff from the City of Houston, the George R.
Brown Convention Center, Houston First, and the Visitors Bureau. Our
partnership with the local entities has been a solid one, and they have been
working very closely with us in moving the convention date and preparing the
Convention space to accommodate CDC Guidelines and that of local health
officials. They continue to show they are doing all they can to see our
Convention through with us. 


All of this work has one objective in mind -- delivering Texas’ electoral
college votes for President Trump in November and victories for all our
candidates from the White House to the courthouses all across Texas. We are
focused on winning in November and not allowing any loss of momentum that risks
victory. For more information on our State Convention and to register, visit our
website <[link removed]>.


In May, we concluded our Statewide Elected Official Tele-Town Hall series with
Senator John Cornyn. Senator Cornyn gave us an update on the work he is doing
in Washington, D.C. and throughout Texas to protect businesses from certain
liabilities as they begin to reopen. His work will ensure businesses do not
have to battle overzealous attacks as they struggle to reopen. You can listen
to highlights from the Town Hall with Senator Cornyn by visitingour YouTube
channel <[link removed]>.


RPT has temporarily moved from in-person training and voter contact to phone
banking and online training sessions, and we are so grateful to all of our
volunteers who joined us for the virtual Days of Action, followed by phone
banking. I attended several of these virtual Days of Actions via Zoom to share
the “Red Alert” presentation, which is the RPT’s plan for victory in November.


We also held a State Convention Update Town Hall to update Texas Republicans
on our convention planning. If you missed the Town Hall, visitour YouTube
channel <[link removed]> to listen.
