After the Primary Election Day this coming Tuesday, then
commences the convention season, through which we elect delegates for the next
level of convention and submit resolutions to go into the state party platform
Two years ago I wrote about the process and content for
writing a resolution. I’m going to repeat that here, and then follow it with some ideas for possible
resolutions to submit this year.
How to Write a Resolution
Once the primary election is over, then convention
season is underway. At each convention level we choose delegates for the next
level up, and we put forth resolutions for the platform. At the local level,
our platform resolutions move on up to the senatorial district level (some
places move up to the county level, but our county has many senatorial
districts in it), where they are sorted, refined, and sent on up to be
considered for the state platform. (Texas Republican 2024 Platform here.)
The Process
How do those ideas get started? If you’re new to the
process, how would you go about putting forth an idea?
You write it down, take it to your precinct convention (or whatever version of that you have in your area), and present it to the other grassroots participants. They might like it as is. Or they might reject it. Or they might suggest amendments to make it something they could support.
