Issue 5

My fellow Republicans,

Next Saturday, February 12, at 6 pm sharp is the final deadline to file for Precinct Chair, for the runoff ballot May 24. Please consider running.


Once again, training classes are available on many subjects from many sources. We have to work to make certain our Primary is fair and legal, and the final class for Precinct Judges is next Wednesday, February 9. If you haven’t worked before as a paid election worker, please help us by becoming a poll watcher. There is online training via Zoom, required training and certification from the Texas Secretary of State, and invaluable local training being conducted on February 10 and 12 from our Republican Bexar County Election Integrity team. Please choose a session and attend one of the two classes.

 

Early voting starts in a week, and Election Day is March 1. Help your candidates win, help us run the election, but most of all, please don’t fail to vote! Conventions will start after the polls close, with Senate District level conventions coming up on March 26.


John Austin,

Chairman

URGENT!
