WHEREAS, Civic-minded women from across the Lone Star State | ||
are gathering in Austin on February 2, 2023, to celebrate Texas | ||
Federation of Republican Women Day at the State Capitol; and | ||
WHEREAS, The Texas Federation of Republican Women was | ||
established in San Antonio in October 1955; with more than 300 | ||
delegates present, the organizing convention was led by | ||
Mrs. Malcolm Milburn, and it resulted in the election of | ||
Mrs. R. D. O'Callaghan as the first president; in the nearly seven | ||
decades since its inception, the organization has grown into one of | ||
the largest women's political groups in the country; and | ||
WHEREAS, With the goals of educating the electorate, | ||
encouraging women to run for office, and electing Republican | ||
candidates, TFRW issues informative communications and works | ||
closely with other Republican organizations to train volunteers and | ||
provide support for local and statewide campaigns through voter | ||
registration and outreach activities, political rallies, forums, | ||
and legislative day events; and | ||
WHEREAS, This notable organization embodies a spirit of | ||
public engagement, and its members may reflect with great pride on | ||
the exemplary model of citizenship they have set for their fellow | ||
Texans; now, therefore, be it | ||
RESOLVED, That the House of Representatives of the 88th Texas | ||
Legislature hereby recognize February 2, 2023, as Texas Federation | ||
of Republican Women Day at the State Capitol and extend a warm | ||
welcome to the members of the organization who are visiting on this | ||
