NOTICE of CONVENTIONS:
Precinct Conventions – Saturday, March 21, 2020
In even numbered years the Grimes County Republican Party holds Precinct Conventions. These conventions provide an opportunity for every-day Republicans to propose resolutions about things that are important to them. The resolutions are considered at the County Convention for inclusion as a potential plank in the TEXAS GOP platform. Precinct Conventions also elect delegates and alternates to attend and participate in the County Convention.
This year the Grimes County Republican Executive Committee has voted to hold all of the Precinct Conventions on the morning of Saturday, March 21 in the Courthouse in downtown Anderson. The only requirement to attend is that you are a Grimes County registered voter who voted in the 2020 Republican Primary or are willing to sign an oath of Republican affiliation.
County Convention
On March 21, 2020 we will also hold our County Convention following the Precinct Conventions, in the Courthouse Courtroom in Anderson. This convention provides Republicans with an opportunity to propose resolutions to be sent to the State Convention for consideration as a plank in the TEXAS GOP platform. At the County Convention delegates and alternates are elected to attend and participate in the State Convention. The selection of state convention delegates is complete at the end of the county convention and can not be changed.

State Convention
Every two years the Republican Party of Texas holds a State Convention.
