Updated: Miller calls on Mackowiak to resign as Travis County GOP Chair for working on Blocker campaign

“Matt Mackowiak must resign, or face claims of a rigged election,” Miller said; Mackowiak says there is no conflict of interest because party chair is an unpaid position

Calling it a “clear and present conflict of interest,” Texas Agriculture Commissioner Sid Miller on Wednesday asked Matt Mackowiak to resign as Travis County GOP Chairman because he is working on the campaign of Miller’s challenger Trey Blocker.

It’s an accusation that Mackowiak says doesn’t add up because party chairman is an unpaid position.

Miller asked, “How in the world can the Travis County Republican party guarantee an impartial election process…when the person in charge of the election is working for one of the candidates?”
