A Message from the County Chair

Friends and neighbors,

November brought resounding victories across Texas.  Thanks to your support, we had even greater success locally!  This is truly a time of momentum for our local party.

This year has been an active year as we are already working toward a successful 2016.  One of our goals this year is to keep you better informed with all the progress we are making as a local party.  We hope this monthly newsletter helps to serve that purpose.  But we’d also like to hear from you.  Feel free to contact us with your thoughts and ideas and let us know what issues are important to you.

Meeting Recap

At the Victoria GOP April meeting, a presentation was provided concerning School Choice legislation.  Hon. Kent Grusendorf of the Texas Public Policy Foundation’s Center for Education Freedom presented information from the latest studies showing effect School Choice has in improving both private and public education outcomes.

Don’t Forget!  Monday, May 18th 5:30-7pm is the next VGOP meeting at the Victoria GOP Headquarters (115 South Main) in Downtown Victoria.

Election Night Reporting

The Victoria GOP has been working with the Victoria County government and elections office to improve election night reporting. We researched several options with the goal of increasing the speed at which detailed results are made available to the public and for allowing these results to be immediately available online.  This new and improved system has been installed and was used to report on the recent city council election. You can check out the capabilities of the new system by viewing the election results here.
