Issues & Vision

I envision Gregg County Republicans reuniting, regaining lost growth, and standing out as the leading Republican county in East Texas!

Goals for the Reunion

  • Reunite the party
  • Bring a new vision
  • Bring in a fresh, new life
  • Increase participation in party activities
  • Be the leading county party in East Texas
  • Full participation at the county convention
  • Room for all Republicans

Steps to Achieve the Vision

Maintain a headquarters in a central, easy-to-find location
As a party we need to maintain a year-round headquarters in order to have a place to meet and organize. By maintaining these headquarters; we will be able to organize our efforts; provide a place for people to obtain candidate and party information; and have a place to hold meetings. Also, a headquarters will allow us to have a place in which we can host candidates who visit East Texas.

Institute fund raising events to support the Gregg County Republican Party
Without a lasting, steady flow of funds, the party is unable to function as it needs. This impacts outreach, growth, community impact, and our ability to lead in East Texas. I will lead us to find creative, fun, and effective methods to increase and maintain the funds necessary to ensure financial solvency far into the future. As Chairman, I will use fund raising methods that accomplish the following:

  • Raise additional money
  • Increase party involvement
  • Improve outreach efforts

Initiate effective outreach programs
As a party, we must reach out to the community. We must share our message of unity and family values. We must bring others into the party and increase our active membership. By using various methods of outreach we will once again make an impact on the individuals of Gregg County.

The result will be more Republican primary voters, greater participation in party events, and improved impact in Gregg County.

Hold events for all the people of Gregg County
I will lead the party to hold events that reach out to all people of Gregg County, not just a select few. If we truly want to change our county and lead East Texas, we must be open to everyone who wants to come in, no matter what their religion, income level, race, or age. Therefore, I want to begin holding events that reach out to everyone young and old, rich and poor.

Hold fund raisers to support all GOP candidates
As a party we will support all our nominees in the general election. Therefore, I will lead us to unite behind our candidates and hold fund raisers to support all the Republican candidates.

Host Republican candidates for state and national office
When candidates come to East Texas, Gregg County should be the first and most important stop in the tour. Right now, many bypass us and hold events in other counties. As Chairman, I will lead us to be the primary stop for state and national Republican candidates. When the candidates think of East Texas, they will think of the Gregg County Republican Party.

Keep Republicans updated with a regular newsletter
The newsletter will be sent out regularly to keep everyone updated about coming events, party news, and things of interest. The newsletter will be sent out in the mail and in email. People can choose which method they prefer.

Have an active, updated online presence
The Internet has become a major source of news and information. Therefore, Gregg County Republicans need to use this resource by having an up-to-date website. It will include such things as the latest Republican news, candidate information, calendar of events, and much more.
