One dedicated delegation
Posted on Apr 23, 2012 in Blog with
We've always said Travis County Republicans have lots of patience and dedication.
And our County Convention on Saturday, April 21, is proof for the history books of that fact!
Though Senate Districts 21, 24, and 25 concluded business before a 4 p.m. deadline with meeting place Hyde Park Baptist Church, SD 14 continued to debate rules and delegate lists. When the contract with the church went into "overtime" at 4 p.m., we started to pay by the hour for building security, janitorial staff, utilities, etc. By 6 p.m. we were overbudget.
SD 14's conservative solution? Move the convention to the church parking garage!
The SD 14 convention, led by Bill Crocker, held together until around 10:35 p.m., when a list of delegates was finally approved. The weather was nice, and though not very comfortable, a truck's tailgate made for an excellent speaking platform.
A bullhorn-weilding Crocker said the meeting may hold the record for longest Travis County convention.
We'll have an official report on the convention on this site soon. But for now, our many thanks to our convention participants, volunteers, the staff of Hyde Park Baptist, and our SD chairmen (SD 14, Crocker; SD 21, Reagan Dees; SD 24, Russell Gallahan; and SD 25, Mike Rodriguez).

Getting sworn in for convention

Republicans will have many opportunities to take the Oath of Affiliation between now and the convention date.
To participate in the Travis Senatorial/County Convention participants must take the Oath. The Oath can be taken any time before the convention or at convention registration itself. We're asking all TCRP supporters to get sworn-in well in advance of the convention to simplify matters.
Below is some helpful information on how you can get sworn-in, as well as the full text of the Oath of Affiliation. See our County Convention Web site for more information on the convention itself ...
