WHEREAS, The observance of Texas Federation for Republican |
|
|
Outreach Legislative Day at the State Capitol on May 23, 2013, |
|
|
provides a fitting opportunity to recognize the notable service of |
|
|
Grace Ekpo as Republican Party precinct chair for Precinct 968 in |
|
|
Harris County; and |
|
|
WHEREAS, Established in 1986 as the Black Republican Council |
|
|
of Texas, the Texas Federation for Republican Outreach is an |
|
|
auxiliary of the Republican Party of Texas that recruits African |
|
|
American voters as Republican precinct chairs and captains in |
|
|
Harris and Fort Bend Counties; citizens who participate in this |
|
|
initiative come from a wide range of backgrounds, but they share |
|
|
common values, including devotion to family, faith, and freedom, |
|
|
and they strive together to promote increased diversity in the |
|
|
party; and |
|
|
WHEREAS, Precinct chairs and captains serve as the |
|
|
ambassadors of their political party, and they take on |
|
|
responsibilities that require tremendous dedication and many hours |
|
|
of hard work; moreover, they serve as election judges in primary and |
|
|
general elections; these civic-minded individuals are integral to |
|
|
the success of the party's mission to elect public servants who will |
|
|
build a better tomorrow; and |
|
|
WHEREAS, Through their involvement, precinct chairs and |
|
|
captains are making a positive difference in their communities, |
|
|
this state, and the nation, and they may take justifiable pride in |
|
|
their admirable record of civic engagement; now, therefore, be it |
|
|
RESOLVED, That the House of Representatives of the 83rd Texas |
|
|
Legislature hereby commend Grace Ekpo for serving as a Republican |
|
|
Party precinct chair and extend to this outstanding Texan sincere |
|
|
best wishes for the future; and, be it further |
|
|
RESOLVED, That an official copy of this resolution be |
|
|
prepared for Grace Ekpo as an expression of high regard by the Texas |
|
|
House of Representatives. |
