Seating is limited
The class will be held Sat., March 4, 9-11 am, in The Woodlands. Click here for more information. Seating is limited - the last day to reserve your seat is March 2. There will be another class in a couple of weeks for Clerks (and Judges), so be watching for the announcement. If you are a Judge, please let your team know so they can plan to attend.

When asked about his number one goal, Gray responded, “To improve, create, and streamline the processes that are in place and address the drainage issues.“

MCRP Legislative Committee Lobbying for
Texas GOP Priorities

The Legislative Committee of the Montgomery County Republican Party (MCRP) has been hard at work preparing for activity in the 88th Texas Legislature. Chaired by Bonnie Lyons, their motto is to "Inform, Engage, and Mobilize."

The committee currently is focused on the Republican Party of Texas’ Legislative Priorities and has assigned each priority to a committee member, who then reviews legislation that falls under their respective issue. When a bill has important activity, such as hearings and votes, the Legislative Committee’s goal is to inform people and mobilize them into action, whether it be calls to legislators or showing up to testify.

Priorities are being headed by these Legislative Committee members:

  • Protect Our Elections - Luis Pedraza
  • Secure the Border and Protect Texas - Bob Bagley
  • Ban Gender Modification of Children - Audrey Warner
  • Stop Sexualizing Texas Kids - Audrey Warner
  • Abolish Abortion in Texas - Adrian Kaiser
  • Defend Our Gun Rights - Kent Frappier
  • Parental Rights & Educational Freedom - Brigetta Millen

Legislative Committee Chair, Bonnie Lyons, worked as a Legislative Correspondent and as Press Secretary for a Louisiana state representative's run for Congress. When he won his race, she continued to work for him for 13 years, alternately working in his district office and on various district and state-wide campaigns.

Obscene books in schools
All over Texas, parents are discovering library books in public schools that are completely inappropriate for children. How and when did this happen? The bigger question is, why are so many informed parents having difficulty getting these books removed, or at minimum, needing parental consent for children to check them out?

Ban gender modification of children
The Tennessee Legislature passed a bill on Feb. 23 banning the practice of gender transition for minor children. Meanwhile, here in the red state of Texas, our elected officials on balance seem reluctant to take up the banner.

The Continuing Fight Over the Debt Ceiling

by Bonnie Lyons, MCRP Legislative Committee Chair

Commentary

Arguably the most consequential issue among many consequential issues currently before Congress is the fight regarding raising the debt ceiling. There is no shortage of articles, arguments, and hysteria that warn of the consequences if we do not again agree to allow our federal government to spend more and more, and ever more, of our hard-earned dollars.
