Chairman Dwayne Wright teaching a class on social media for the RPT in Angelina County. SD3 training was held in Lufkin this year and Chairman Wright was asked to teach the social media section. The Republican Party is aware of the need to expand into new areas that were once foreign to the party. Twitter, Facebook and other social media subjects were taught while the crowd of precinct chairs, county chairmen, and grassroots activists took notes. Everyone agreed that this was a worthwhile event for all attendees!

There were many stirring testimonies spoken before standing room only crowds. San Jacinto County definitely shined and was a force to be reckoned with at the convention! arn More
