    Informational Meeting with Cindi Castilla

    September 1, 2023 by Mark L. Torrey in / /

    The Informational Meeting on Monday August 28th, drew a large crowd of serious Bastrop and adjacent Counties residents, as Cindi Castilla from The Texas Eagle Forum shared her knowledge on the status of several key Texas legislation. Many discussion topics are closely related to the Legislative Priorities passed at the 2022 Republican Party of Texas State Convention. Special note was given to those targeting improved Texas’ education, removing pornography from public schools, efforts on the ban of gender modification, the continued effort of illicit drug trafficking and more. Her presentation style encouraged spontaneous questions which worked well to clarify points of information while fresh in the audience minds. The TEF is working to encourage Governor Abbott to include those key legislation in an upcoming special session to ensure they are addressed in a timely manner.

    The Bastrop County Republican Party Informational Meetings are held the 4th Monday of every month at 6pm with the goal of sharing issues important to the resident of Bastrop County and Texas as a whole. Check out the BCRP website and calendar for more information and article links for each meeting.

    Informational Meeting generated significant interest

    August 28, 2022 by Mark L. Torrey in / / /

    [vc_row][vc_column][vc_column_text]

    Bastrop County Republicans gathered Monday evening, August 22nd, to christen their newly remodeled office and meeting space by holding their first Informational Meeting of the 2022 term. County Chairman Curtis Courtney opened the meeting by welcoming invited Speakers, Precinct Chairs and guests. Following pledges and invocation, Chairman Courtney acknowledged the combined efforts of all the Executive Committee Members, family and supporters who contributed hours of labor, materials and the variety of skills necessary to convert the smaller medical offices into a single, larger meeting space. The entire office received new paint throughout, a carpeted meeting space and spruced up lobby to greet visitors.

    Meeting attendees heard from Republican Party of Texas (RPT) SREC Committeewoman Susan Lucas, and SREC Committeeman Bill Fairbrother. Each described their role in the local and state level, and how it involves Bastrop County. They also shared RPT’s efforts on key legislative issues, including election integrity, school funding, and the importance of winning big in the mid term election in November.

    We next heard from State Board of Education candidate Perla Muñoz-Hopkins, who will oppose the incumbent Democrat from Austin for the Distinct 5 seat. As a former educator, and military veteran who served this Country, State and children admirably for many years, Mrs. Hopkins promised to focus on the critical issues when elected to the State Board of Education. These will include addressing school funding, curriculum content and standards, protecting Christian beliefs in public schools, eliminating gender grooming, ensuring the responsibility of gender and sexual education belongs to parents and improved school campus security among other topics.

    In recognition of her personal belief and support for the battle against the Progressive Movement to remove the National Motto from all things American, she presented to Chairman Courtney a beautiful framed “In God We Trust” poster from the Official US National Motto Project to be prominently displayed in our office. More information on this Texas based nation wide project can be found at www.usnationalmotto.com.
