    Why are we having a Fundraiser?

    September 18, 2023 by Mark L. Torrey in / / /

    You’re kidding, right?

    1. Legislative elections are quickly approaching. Do you understand all that is being voted on? 2. Speakers as well as information distributed from our office can help you navigate the legalese that is written on the ballot. 3. The Primary election is on everyone’s mind and follows quickly. Although the party cannot endorse within our own party candidates, perhaps we can help you gather info that makes your decision easier. 4. We rent and maintain a local office where you can come to get information from monthly meetings (held on the last Monday of each month) that feature folks from all sorts of organizations and/or offices that effect your political decisions and what impacts you. 5. The office is also available to be used by party candidates for meet & greets or other political gatherings. 6. We donate funds to the Candidate Resource Committee which helps fund our different court judge races and many down ballot races who do not have funds to get started. 7. During the general election we frequently must purchase candidate signs, so they are available for our County. We have had people ask why there are so many Democrat signs, and we don’t have that many? Because we are depending on funds that are set aside to purchase them. We are not funded by outside sources or special interests! 8. Along with the help of LPRW we have printed voter guides, and will continue, so you can navigate who really stands for what, and who represents your beliefs. 9. We do all we can to connect with you through email, block walking, info texting to get the latest to you. You get the idea! Join us Saturday, September 23 for Boots & Barbecue! It’s not just a fundraiser – it’s a FUNdraiser!

    Our thoughts come around to “Let’s Roll” every year. On that brilliant September morning 22 years ago, while millions of Americans were preparing to start their day, we remember the attacks that struck our Nation. To all the First Responders, Firefighters, Police, EMTs, Flight Crews, Attendants, the brave passengers and civilians, and the many other heroes lost… We Honor and Remember you this day. You will Never Be Forgotten.

    Informational Meeting – September 25th, 2023

    September 9, 2023 by Mark L. Torrey in / / / /

    Tim Hardin serves as the president and CEO of Texans for Fiscal Responsibility (TFR). Texans for Fiscal Responsibility is an independent educational non-profit organization seeking to illuminate the actions of government, educate and equip citizens to effectively advocate for pro-taxpayer reforms, and hold lawmakers accountable for their actions. TFR has addressed hundreds of organizations and groups all across the Lone Star State.

    Consistent with their guiding principles, TFR has identified key legislative priorities in the wake of the 88th Texas Legislature. While Republicans maintain a strong majority, there are no excuses for lawmakers to be derelict in their duty to pass commonsense reforms called for by the grassroots. The Texas Prosperity Plan is TFR’s policy goal to achieve a fiscally responsible Texas.

    Tim has an undergraduate degree in philosophy and political science from the University of North Texas. He also earned his master’s degree in biblical studies from West Coast Baptist College. Tim is a small-business man and pastor and served as a chief of staff in the Texas House for eight years. He resides in Fort Worth with his wife, Luisa, and their five children, Elijah, Noah, Micah, Jeremiah, and Selah.

    Informational Meeting with Cindi Castilla

    September 1, 2023 by Mark L. Torrey in / /

    The Informational Meeting on Monday August 28th, drew a large crowd of serious Bastrop and adjacent Counties residents, as Cindi Castilla from The Texas Eagle Forum shared her knowledge on the status of several key Texas legislation. Many discussion topics are closely related to the Legislative Priorities passed at the 2022 Republican Party of Texas State Convention. Special note was given to those targeting improved Texas’ education, removing pornography from public schools, efforts on the ban of gender modification, the continued effort of illicit drug trafficking and more. Her presentation style encouraged spontaneous questions which worked well to clarify points of information while fresh in the audience minds. The TEF is working to encourage Governor Abbott to include those key legislation in an upcoming special session to ensure they are addressed in a timely manner.

    The Bastrop County Republican Party Informational Meetings are held the 4th Monday of every month at 6pm with the goal of sharing issues important to the resident of Bastrop County and Texas as a whole. Check out the BCRP website and calendar for more information and article links for each meeting.

    Chairman Mike GepnerI want to thank everyone for their support for the Republican Party of Bastrop County.  As of tomorrow, June 13, my term as your Republican County Chairman is over.

    Together, we have been able to keep Bastrop County Republican and contributed to keeping Texas red.  This is only because of you. Your hard work at working the polls, poll watching, telephone calls, door to door talking with people, volunteering, and so much more. Thank you for your contributions to this effort.

    I’m putting my support for our new Republican Chairman Curtis Courtney. I pray that you will put your support with him also. We need to continue to work together for our REPUBLICAN Party, Republican candidates, and Republican elected officials.

    It has been a joy to serve you. Thank you for the opportunity.
