M.J.'s Memo
Howdy,

29 Days and it will all be over (excluding run-offs). As I visit our counties who are having Candidate Forums for their communities, it is such a great public service for folks to have opportunities to hear and meet the candidates on the ballot! Thank you for all the work that goes into putting on forums! And to the Candidates - thank you!

As a reminder, after the Primary is over . . . we ALL come TOGETHER and work just as hard for our candidates that will be on the November ballot.

This past month I had the pleasure to be in Bell, Lampasas, Williamson, and Blanco counties for numerous events. And made time to blockwalk and cook spaghetti for 125 people at a candidate forum in my own county.
Lesson learned . . . next time hire a caterer!!!

To many of you who have contacted me requesting information or have needed assistance this past month, thank you! It is always the better part of my day to visit with and be of service to SD24 Patriots and still, to the folks in the original (pre-redistricting) SD24 counties.

It's time to think about attending your Precinct and County Conventions.
Have a voice at the RPT Convention June 16-18, 2022 by becoming a delegate or alternate to the convention. Not sure what happens at a convention . . . scroll down to find out more information.

Precinct Conventions may be held on or after the first Tuesday in March up until the county/ SD conventions on the 4th Saturday in March (March 26th). County /SD conventions must be held on the 4th Saturday in March (March 26th).

Our TFRW Clubs in SD24 were recognized and were well represented at the TFRW Leadership Day, January 29 2022 in San Marcos.

Salado Area RW, Brenda Bandera RW, Dede, Star RW, Sara , RW of Kerr County, Sally, Central Texas Republican Women, Zenia and Blanco County Republican Women, Shelley and Anna from Leander Area Republican Women are amazing leaders ready to mobilize their clubs to KEEP TEXAS RED! Thank you ladies for making our Nightcap and Nibbles so much fun giving you all the opportunity to network with each other. Gail Teegarden, SD24 TFRW District Director and I loved hosting our get together in San Marcos. Gail also was elected to serve as TFRW member-at-large. We are very proud of our own Zenia Warren, TFRW Vice President. She is a wealth of knowledge.
By the way, this was the best Leadership Day ever. A big thank you to Cassie Daniel Howell for her stellar break out groups she organized!

County Chairs in the southern portion of our Senate District, I am looking foward to hosting our lunch on February 8 at the Rails in Kerrville. This is a great opportunity to hear some seasoned advice from John Elliot and meet the County Chairs next door to you.
