Saying the Texas GOP has lost focus under Chair West, group of Republicans launches new initiative to work with elected leaders
“The Republican Party of Texas has gone down an unfortunate path in recent months where it seems more interested in attacking Republican officials,” said Texas Republican Initiative Chair Mark McCaig
Arguing that the Republican
Party of Texas has "lost focus" under Chairman Allen West,
a group of longtime GOP leaders has formed what they're
calling the Texas Republican Initiative.
The longtime conservative
activists and party officials say that the group is “designed to build the
Republican Party within Texas by supporting and communicating the successes of
Republican leadership to the public and encouraging Republican voters to become
more involved within the Party.”
The group will be headed
up by former Secretary of State and State Republican Executive Committee
member Carlos Cascos as President. Houston attorney Mark McCaig, a former SREC member is the Chairman. Vice-President
of the TRI board is Morgan Cisneros Graham, the Cameron County GOP Chairwoman
and Cascos’ partner on the SREC from Senate District 27 in South Texas.
