Grassroots America was asked by several leaders in our statewide Texas Conservative Grassroots Coalition if we would conduct job interviews with the candidates for Vice-Chair of the Republican Party of Texas. Believing this job interview project would yield important information for RPT Convention Delegates who will vote on the Vice Chair, our Board of Directors approved the non-budgeted expenditures for hiring a professional videographer, a professional stage set-up, and renting a facility.
No candidate, campaign staffer, questioner, Coalition leader, or Board Member saw the questions before the event. Executive Director JoAnn Fleming has a very strict code for maintaining question security for all candidates in every race. This is not a game.
Elected leadership is serious business – most especially when liberty is under constant assault. If there was ever a time when conservatives needed to raise standards for themselves as well as their opponents, that time is NOW.
We were not looking for bumper sticker sound bites. The questions were designed to bring out the candidates’ core principles, values, skill sets, and intent for the office they are seeking.
We appreciate the participation of all three candidates – Alma Jackson, Dana Myers, and Adrienne Pena-Garza. We thank our selected forum masters – Mom Caucus Members Trayce Bradford and Dana Harris. Thanks to Grassroots America Board Member Sue Evenwel for stepping in for JoAnn for the “on camera” introductions and acting as interview timekeeper.
We present to you the candidates via video answering for themselves. To assist you with the content, we are providing the list of questions asked to each candidate. All were asked the same questions in the same order.
We will not interpret the responses. We will not answer for the candidates. We will not respond to sandbox comments. Delegates have factual information now from which to make a wise choice. It is up to each delegate to make that decision.
Liberty principles and Christian values found in God’s Word matter more to us than the social media sandbox chatter ever will. The ability of our Texas Conservative Grassroots Coalition to unite around these principles and values, fight for, and uphold these time-tested standards is our focus. These principles and values are more important than any single political personality. People come and go. Timeless principles and Truth endure when we make those our compass.
Always Joshua 1:9,

Your last chance to vote was today, but your work is not done.
Stop the effort to purge grassroots conservatives from the Republican Party of Texas convention process! Show up with conservative friends and participate!
What you need to know:
Precinct Conventions: Some Republican County organizations hold voting precinct conventions at 7 PM as soon as the polls close. Some hold precinct conventions a different day. Find out about your county…
When and Where: Your 2022 Precinct Convention will be held sometime after the polls close on Primary Election Day (March 1, 2022) and before the start of the County/Senate District Conventions (March 26, 2022). Some precinct conventions happen right after the polls close at your polling location; others happen days later at another location. All precinct conventions in your county should be held on the same day. The precinct convention notice should be posted at your polling location, but please check with your local Republican County Chair for the most up-to-date information on where your precinct convention will be held. Click this link to find contact information for your Republican Party County Chair.
For Grassroots America’s home base county – Smith County – our Precinct Conventions will be held Saturday March 5, 2022 at 10:00 AM.
Why attend your precinct convention? You can help build a conservative Republican Party of Texas Platform up from the grassroots level!
Warning: Democrats who voted in the Republican Party Primary can attend GOP precinct conventions and work to pass liberal Democrat resolutions. If conservatives don’t show up, while Democrats and Rinocrats do, guess what happens?
The Republican Party of Texas rules require you to submit THREE COPIES of each resolution at your precinct convention. Bring your conservative friends (who voted in the Republican Primary) with you to your voting precinct convention to help get your resolutions approved! These will then go to your Senate District or County Convention for consideration. If approved at the Senate District/County Convention level, they will go on to the State Republican Platform Committee for consideration.
You may download and print these resolutions or use as a guide to write your own:
A special “thank you” to all who submitted resolutions in the midst of a busy Primary Election Season. These are by no means all the resolutions Grassroots America supports, but these are the ones sent to us by our deadline. We will send more resolutions before Friday as late ones come in. Please note: We cannot possibly fill hundreds of requests to write resolutions for your precinct convention. Please take the initiative and write your own!
Let’s show the DC insiders and the Austin Cartel meddling in the Texas Republican Party that conservatives aren’t going anywhere! Keep the Republican Party of Texas Platform conservative!
When conservatives unite around liberty principles – Freedom Wins!
