|
|
||
| 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 Zoia Jones of Houston | ||
| for more than two decades of distinguished service as a Republican | ||
| Party precinct chair; 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 in Harris and Fort | ||
| Bend Counties; citizens who have participated 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 serve as the ambassadors of their | ||
| political party, and they take on responsibilities that require | ||
| great 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 are | ||
| making a profound 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 Zoia Jones for her longtime service 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 Zoia Jones as an expression of high regard by the Texas | ||
| House of Representatives. | ||
