Texas GOP chair candidates make their pitch to delegates, begin final push before Friday vote

Chair Dickey stresses his past fight with an employer’s PAC’s practice of supporting Democrats; Asche argues “we need to make the Republican Party of Texas better and stronger than it is today”

SAN ANTONIO – Delegates to the Republican Party of Texas convention on Thursday gave warm reactions to both candidates running to preside over the majority party in this state.

It’s a race that, unlike some in the past, seems to have very little if any involvement from business groups while certain sponsors of the RPT have either pulled back their financial support or eliminated it altogether, as is the case with powerhouse contributor AT&T.

Still, Chairman James Dickey told the crowd during a short speech that despite certain challenges, “We are on track to have the largest self-funded convention on record.”
