    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.

    How to be a Convention Delegate

    February 18, 2022 by Mark L. Torrey in / / / /

    PLEASE NOTE: Several precinct convention locations have changed.  If you live in precinct 1001, 1002, 1003, 2010 or 4024, please click the “Check this list” link again to see the new location list.

    Why would you want to be a convention delegate?  Convention delegates vote for the GOP Party platform.  Delegates to state convention choose the Party chair who will lead the Texas GOP through the midterms and in preparation for the 2024 Presidential election.  Besides the formal business, you meet like minded people!

    The process is as follows:

    1. Vote in the GOP primary or fill out the form to affiliate with the Republican Party.
    2. Attend your precinct convention.  Precinct conventions will be held after the polls close at 7PM on March 1.  Where? Check this list for your precinct convention location.
    3. If you can’t make the convention: Please email Chairman Mike Gepner no later than February 25 at . Include your name, precinct, email address, and phone number in the email. If you have resolutions for consideration by the convention, please bring them to the precinct convention or email them to Mike Gepner.
    4. Be sure you are nominated and vote in as a delegate or alternate to the Bastrop County GOP Convention.
    5. This is a must to be a delegate to the Bastrop County convention.
      1. If you arrive for your precinct convention and no one else is there, you can run your own convention.  There will be a packet with forms that need to be filled out.  Do so, and you’ll have run your first convention!
      2. If more than one person arrives, but no one seems to be in charge, you can run the convention.
    6. When you receive the application to be a delegate to the State convention (June 16-18, Houston), be sure to return it as quickly as possible.  This is a must to be a delegate to the TexasGOP convention.
    7. Attend the Bastrop County GOP convention on March 26 at 10AM at the Family Worship Center, 2425 FM 1704, Elgin.
