|
|
||
| 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. | ||
