WHAT IS A PRECINCT CHAIR?
As a Grassroots leader, a Precinct Chair plays an important role for the Collin County Republican Party. Your primary responsibility as a Precinct Chair is to get as many Republican voters in your precinct to vote by:
1. Identifying Voters
2. Organizing Voters
3. Informing Voters
4. Turning out Voters.
As a Precinct Chair your leadership role is acknowledged as a vital role in the success of our Republican Party. So, who is eligible?
1. Be a resident of your precinct

3. Must have voted in the Republican Primary election.
To become a Precinct Chair you register as a candidate in the Primary election or you fill a vacancy by appointment of the Executive Committee.

Why are you a Traditional Conservative Republican?
Since January 2018 we have been publicizing our CCRMC as traditional conservative political club. This identity has been reflected in our membership and programs. We have had several inquiries identifying what are our fundamental values. Those listed are not inclusive but represent a general listing.
· We affirm that all are created equal, endowed by their Creator with inalienable rights of life, liberty, and the pursuit of happiness
· We believe in religious liberty as the first freedom to be protected as the right of people to practice their faith.
· We acknowledge the right to keep and bear arms is an individual right to protect one’s life and property
· We believe our culture is based upon traditional marriage and the sanctity of innocent human life.
· We believe government derives its power from the people that we are a Representative Republic.
· We believe our society emphasizes self-reliance and individualism for a more prosperous economy.
· We support a public education system available to all citizens of our country.
· We believe in a strong military that defends our borders and protect our liberty.
· We respect our Judeo-Christian heritage--understanding change and reform are not identical.
· We support policies of limited taxation and government spending.
· We acknowledge personal freedom and property ownership are inseparable and are to be protected equally.
· We believe in an inclusive party respectful of different points of view—“no litmus test”.
If you agree that our listing mirrors your own convictions, I extend a personal initiation for you to join the MAGIC—“Expecting the Unexpected”. You may consider joining our club using PayPal or copy the application from our website (WWW.CCRMC.ORG). If you have any questions, please call or email.

While members of the Texas House Republican Caucus were meeting in Bastrop at the Lost Pines Resort for their annual member retreat, one instructed his staff to file the paperwork necessary to run against House Speaker Joe Straus. On Friday afternoon, State Rep. Phil King’s (R–Weatherford) Chief of Staff filed a Declaration of Speaker Candidacy Form with the Texas Ethics Commission:
Though currently the choice for Speaker is limited to King and Straus, a number of other individuals have been rumored to be considering campaigns of their own. Originally elected in a coup against Republican Speaker Tom Craddick of Midland, Straus has controlled the House with a coalition of Democrats and Republicans since 2009. During the recent regular and special sessions of the Texas Legislature, Straus gained notoriety across the state for killing a large share of Gov. Greg Abbott’s conservative agenda. King’s decision follows a meeting during the GOP caucus retreat where Republican representatives were scheduled to discuss the adoption of a process whereby caucus members would unite behind a candidate for speaker. That policy is called for in the Texas GOP Platform and would be designed to put Republicans fully in charge of the lower chamber, instead of allowing a minority of their membership to control the chamber by sharing power with Democrats. The caucus meeting was reportedly successful. Approximately two thirds of the caucus attended and there was unanimous agreement to move forward on a speaker selection process. A draft rule was circulated and a working group was appointed to study the details of the proposed process. The working group is scheduled to report back to the caucus in 30 days and the caucus is scheduled to vote on the proposal within 60 days. These developments come on the heels of growing grassroots dissatisfaction with the status quo. Over the summer, fifty Texas county Republican organizations, representing over 52% of Texans, have approved resolutions calling for Straus to be replaced as speaker. |
