Texas GOP voters.
Welcome to the world of other 'Red' States with an entrenched establishment.
When you realize what is happening it galvanizes a lot of people to action.
In GA, we experienced the same thing in 2021.
LOTS of anger. So many new people got involved.

We had fiery meetings in the aftermath of 2020.
Lots of censure resolutions.
Lots of fights on those.
The line we constantly heard was 'we dont need to fight each other, we need to fight Dems'
It fractured a lot of us.
Leadership battles, former leaders running to the press

To bad mouth the current leaders.
It was ugly.
Yes, Kemp won. Why? Because Stacy was a nightmare. But let me tell you the little secret they will not tell you about his 'win'..

He didnt get as many votes as Perdue did in the Jan 2021 runoff.. people stayed home...

The same GOPe clutched their pearls instead of voting for Herschel.

Kemp publicly divorced himself from the GA GOP...

A strong roster of conservative candidates to vote into leadership positions at the state level.
There is a reason Kemp et al are not attending our convention and Trump is.

Is it perfect? No. We have a long way to go. We tried primarying Establishment members up and down the ballot in 2022 and were not always successful.
We are putting candidates into races everywhere. Going into communities that are dark blue to build relationships

I know it will not be easy, but it is worth the fight.
We just have to keep working.
I want to close with this.
In 2020 I attended the 1st county meeting after the election. People were angry that Cobb had turned blue after 30 years.

We were given some data. Specifically, how much the demographics of the county had changed drastically over 5 years due to development.
GOPe developers in pursuit of the almighty $ changed our county.
Then, one person rose to speak.
Her name is Donna Rowe.

She told us it was time to stop complaining and start working. She was on the front lines in the 70s, 80s and 90s and worked hard to turn our county red.
She said we had gotten soft and werent used to working hard.
Pounding the pavement and talking to people is how to win.

I took those words to heart
Here we are 2.5 years later.
The hard work is reaping benefits with new leaders and a ton of outreach.
My hope is that the new leaders will fulfill their promises.
Data, outreach, ballot chasing, accountability.
We have a long way to go

Walking shoes ready to go.
