The last update was on Tuesday, the 22nd, so there isn’t a lot of “new” filings to report. Happily, there are 2 new contested races, bringing the total to 15. Not all are to replace current chairs but a good portion of them are. The others are either to fill a vacant seat or, as in my case, the current chair has not filed. Here is the complete list of contested races as of December 23rd at 4:20 pm.
- Precinct 001
- Precinct 050

There are also opportunities to be had in newly formed precincts. Effective January 1st, there will be 11 new precincts in Harris County. As of the 23rd, only 3 of these precincts had candidates.

I think that all of the precinct training sessions that Felicia Cravens held through the Houston Tea Party Society and the North Houston Tea Party Patriots have concluded. But if you contact her, I can assure you that she will help you decide if this is for you.

Now, you ask, why am I doing this? Why, as one emailer suggested, am I wasting time on Precinct Chair elections? After all, they said, no one cares and I won’t be attracting readers. Well, this is why:
“Nevada just had its elections for GOP Leadership. As a PC, It was my duty and great pleasure to drive 5 hours from Las Vegas to Hawthorn Nevada, along with our other delegates, to represent Clark County. Our approved slate of candidates swept the elections and we now control the entire State. No RINO was left standing. Every one of them has been moved out of our way. Every change to the State Party bylaws we didn’t approve of was voted down. It was a complete and total VICTORY for the grassroots conservatives in Nevada.”—said Warren
Others know how to throw a party, march, hire expensive speakers to come and hawk their latest book. But Warren, Dan and Glass have shown the way to retake America in Nevada and now they are leading the charge nationwide. As easy as 1, 2, 3…
- Retake the precincts
- Retake the Party
- Retake the nation
“To me, it is no longer a question of, “can this work?” It is a question of when the rest of the Patriots in our Country put forth the small amount of effort required to do the same thing.”—said Warren
Although I pretty much detest the term RINO, I do think that for the HCRP to remain relevant, it must be changed from the bottom up. And that process starts at the Precinct Chair level.
