Bastrop County Republicans held their convention in March, 2026. I was honored to have been selected to chair the “Legislative Priorities” committee. This is the first time Senate District (SD) and County Conventions have voted on Legislative Priorities (LPs).
Bastrop County LPs are sent up to the State Convention LP committee. They will review submissions from all SD & County Conventions and create a list for delegates to the State Convention to vote on. Convention starts June 8 with committee meetings. The full convention starts at 9AM on June 11. By Saturday evening, we’ll know which chair & vice chair candidates will lead us to victory in November. And, we’ll know the list of state-wide legislative priorities.
Here are the LPs from Bastrop County. These were unanimously approved after discussion with the entire delegation. The list, by title only, of priorities in order is below. To read the details on each item, please see the full report (PDF) sent to Texas GOP (also below).
