Elections
227. Republican Party Operations
We oppose all legislative actions that limit the Republican Party of Texas (RPT), the County Executive Committees (CEC), and subcommittees over the ability to adopt bylaws on calling meetings, filling vacancies, or administrating party accounts and contracts. Moreover, we support removing the Republican Party of Texas from the Election Code, which allows for closed primaries and for making and enforcing its own rules. We support the current framework in which the State Republican Executive Committee (SREC) — Chairman, Vice Chairman, and members from the Senatorial Districts — are elected by the delegates at the State Convention.
