    Informational Meeting generated significant interest

    August 28, 2022 by Mark L. Torrey in / / /

    [vc_row][vc_column][vc_column_text]

    Bastrop County Republicans gathered Monday evening, August 22nd, to christen their newly remodeled office and meeting space by holding their first Informational Meeting of the 2022 term. County Chairman Curtis Courtney opened the meeting by welcoming invited Speakers, Precinct Chairs and guests. Following pledges and invocation, Chairman Courtney acknowledged the combined efforts of all the Executive Committee Members, family and supporters who contributed hours of labor, materials and the variety of skills necessary to convert the smaller medical offices into a single, larger meeting space. The entire office received new paint throughout, a carpeted meeting space and spruced up lobby to greet visitors.

    Meeting attendees heard from Republican Party of Texas (RPT) SREC Committeewoman Susan Lucas, and SREC Committeeman Bill Fairbrother. Each described their role in the local and state level, and how it involves Bastrop County. They also shared RPT’s efforts on key legislative issues, including election integrity, school funding, and the importance of winning big in the mid term election in November.

    We next heard from State Board of Education candidate Perla Muñoz-Hopkins, who will oppose the incumbent Democrat from Austin for the Distinct 5 seat. As a former educator, and military veteran who served this Country, State and children admirably for many years, Mrs. Hopkins promised to focus on the critical issues when elected to the State Board of Education. These will include addressing school funding, curriculum content and standards, protecting Christian beliefs in public schools, eliminating gender grooming, ensuring the responsibility of gender and sexual education belongs to parents and improved school campus security among other topics.

    In recognition of her personal belief and support for the battle against the Progressive Movement to remove the National Motto from all things American, she presented to Chairman Courtney a beautiful framed “In God We Trust” poster from the Official US National Motto Project to be prominently displayed in our office. More information on this Texas based nation wide project can be found at www.usnationalmotto.com.

    INFORMATIONAL MEETING – AUGUST 22ND, 2022

    August 14, 2022 by Mark L. Torrey in / / / /

    [vc_row][vc_column][vc_hoverbox image=”7708″ primary_title=”Informational Meeting” hover_title=”Monthly Informational Meeting ” shape=”square”]

    Come and meet the TEAM…..
    A NIGHT OF INTRODUCTIONS!!

    The BCRP would like to invite you to come and hear from our newly elected State Board of Education District #5 candidate, Perla Hopkins; State Republican Executive Committeewoman Susan Lucas; State Republican Executive Committeeman Bill Fairbrother; County Chair Curtis Courtney and your current Precinct Chairman or Chairwoman. This will be a night of getting to know who represents you in Bastrop County, ask questions and get to know each other.

    The SBOE election is an important race between Perla Hopkins and a woke, liberal democrat from Austin. Perla will need your help to win this race. The SREC committeeman and committeewoman represent you and the Bastrop County Executive Committee at the state level. The SREC is the governing body of the Republican Party of Texas. While the SREC represents you at the state level, your precinct chairman represents you on a county wide level through the County Executive Committee.

    It will be an interesting night of introductions, discussion, questions and answers. I would encourage your participation.

    The meeting will start at 6:30 pm on August 22, 2022 at our local county office located at 443 W. Highway 71, Bastrop, TX 78602. If you have any questions, please contact Curtis Courtney, County Chair, phone: 512-925-6034, or email .
