This is the third of three posts reporting on the Texas State Republican Convention, held in Houston June 8-13. Part I covers festivities, election of officers, and Rule Committee. Part II covers Legislative Priorities.
This post we’ll cover Platform & Resolutions Committee,
from the perspective of an editor, which you’re probably not going to get anywhere
else (not that the world is clamoring for such a perspective). Anyway, I’m
afraid it’s still long, but it’s all in this post anyway. No more splitting
into parts.
As I was reporting some arcane detail to my husband, with
great enthusiasm, he commented that I sure am passionate about this. And that’s
true. I love the words and the ideas—a whole lot more than the politicking.
Anyway, here we go.
The Platform Is Conservative
Let me start with something positive. I
had a conversation with one of the Committee members, someone for whom this is
not her first rodeo either. And she asked me my impression of how the platform
is doing. I don’t remember the exact wording of her question, but I was happy
to report that, from my viewpoint, our platform is getting more conservative
over time, and the grassroots are getting more unified.
