If we are successful in that effort, then both the Texas legislature and the national Congress will remain firmly in the hands of conservative Republicans. To fulfill that goal, we need an experienced, proven leader at the helm of our Party. I am committed to offering the kind of leadership which will mobilize our voter base and maximize our impact. Following is a list of initiatives which will enable us to achieve these goals, and I will strive to implement them, should the Denton County Republicans again entrust me with the position of Party Chair." | | |  | | "Though in recent years, Denton County Democrat candidates on our November ballots have been few and far between, that will change dramatically in November, 2008. The Democrats are energized by their successes both nationally and in Dallas County, and are recruiting many candidates to challenge our Republican slate. We must encourage spirited, issue-oriented, yet positive, campaigns among GOP candidates; but once the primary is over, we Republicans must come together and work together as a unified force. I pledge to increase the number of Republican voters in the November, 2008 election so that all the partisan elected offices in Denton County remain firmly in the Republican column. I believe in leadership by example, and as a first positive step towards unifying our Party, I have upheld our County Executive Committee's rule stating that the Chair of the County GOP should not endorse a candidate in a contested Republican primary. If re-elected as County Chair, I will continue to work effectively and professionally with people throughout our Party, with varying viewpoints and issues." |  Dianne Edmondson Denton County GOP 1st Vice Chair - Political Affairs | | |  "Our GOP precinct chairs are the first link that our Party has with our grassroots constituents, and they should be trained, committed and active participants in our Party's Victory strategy. We have a successful, aggressive recruitment program for Precinct Chairs and have filled the great majority of our precinct chair positions. We also provide training and Headquarters support for our Precinct Chairs."  "We raise thousands of dollars every year at our very successful Denton County Lincoln Day Dinners. Not all of those funds are needed to sustain our headquarters, publish our newsletter, etc. Thoughtful, strategic plans have been put into place which will give us a blueprint for the optimum way to utilize our resources and fulfill our Mission Statement." | | | |
