GEORGE WINS!
Abraham George elected as Chairman of the RPT.
A strong base of support for Abraham George carried him to victory on Friday as the former head of the Collin County GOP was elected Chairman of the Republican Party of Texas (RPT).
Taking place during the RPT’s statewide convention in San Antonio, voting started early in the morning, and seemed to go on forever.
Voting began in Senate District (SD) caucuses where George was able to pick up support as other candidates were eliminated.
After dozens of votes across the 31 SD’s, George appeared to reach a majority, at which point nominations moved to the full delegation for even more voting.
After Austin Republican Matt Mackowiak was utterly defeated, Ben Armenta, Mike Garcia, Weston Martinez, and Dana Myers fell one by one to George.
Despite every other candidate in the race eventually backing Dana Myers, delegates got behind Abraham George, handing him the victory.
George was reportedly cheezin hard after the big win.
Backed by outgoing Chairman Matt Rinaldi, George had earned the endorsement of many prominent conservative Republicans going into Friday’s vote. His win sends a strong message that voters still want a Republican Party that holds elected politicians accountable for their promises, even if that means public feuds with fellow Republicans that sometimes get heated.

George was able to overcome (sometimes fierce) opposition during the campaign in the weeks leading up to the largest Republican convention in the country. Critics of George say he is too conservative, or even “far-right.”
Despite the contentious election, most Republicans we spoke to seemed ready to come together and focus on passing legislative priorities while also fighting against scams.
There is a strong consensus that, despite the challenges put on us by our oppressors in Washington, Texas Republicans have been moving things in the right direction. This is why George had a large base of support when the voting started, and why he was able to grab even more grassroots votes as his opponents moved against him.

As someone that follows this political stuff more than 99.9% of Texans, it's still hard to know how I'm supposed to feel about most of these political races most of the time. These people come and go and more or less nothing changes.
