Legislative Priorities Report for 6.18.21

Post-legislative session, most
representatives and senators go back to their districts. Most
will meet with constituents individually or at various club
meetings or other group settings. This is a great opportunity to
hear directly from your elected officials regarding their
performance during the legislative session.
Here are some questions you may want to ask:

What do you consider to be your most
important accomplishment during the session?
What were your priorities going into the
session?
Were you aware of the Legislative
Priorities of the Republican Party of Texas?
Did you and/or your office know which
bills the Legislative Priorities Committee were working to
advance?
Which priority bills did you sign on to
and when? If not, why not?
What issues did your office get the most
phone calls and emails about? What was your response?
How did you help further the RPT
priorities?
Did your office work with the SRECs on
the LP Committee? If not, why not?
What committees did you serve on and
which priorities came before your committee?
Did you make a motion to move our
priority bills out of committee? If not, why not?
Who are the lobbyists most helpful to
your office?
If elected to another term, will you
commit to working publicly to advance the RPT priorities next
session? (Or those placed on the call for a special session?)
How can your constituents help you better
next session?
Have you been a delegate or guest at the
RPT state convention? Have you testified before the convention's
platform or legislative priorities committee?
Why are you a Republican?

You may think of other good questions, but
the important thing is that you confidently engage with your
elected official. Remember, he or she works for you, and that
office does not belong to anyone other than who the voters say.
Collectively, the legislative body makes decisions that affect
all of us in major ways, whether it be regarding our freedoms,
our ability to do business without burdensome regulation, our
physical safety, or fiscally. It is important to have a
representative who takes the job seriously and is not swayed by
greed, moral temptations, or friendships to make poor decisions
for our state.
The other thing you can do, right now, is to
continue to contact Gov. Abbott and Lt. Gov. Patrick regarding
our unpassed priorities. Election Integrity and banning Child
Gender Modification practices are both critical items that were
left undone.
Also, banning Taxpayer-Funded Lobbying, and
the Chairman's priority, reigning in Executive Overreach, still
need work. They need to hear that the citizens of Texas want
these issues addressed.
We are hopeful for a special session very
soon. We urge the Governor, Lt. Governor, Speaker, and our
Representatives and Senators to complete the business of the
people.
For God and Texas,
