In September, the Hispanic Voter Network continued to build momentum by hosting town hall-style Local Forums in El Paso and San Antonio. Hispanic elected officials, business leaders, and activists came together to discuss the future of Hispanic leadership in Texas and how to better engage Hispanic voters and recruit Hispanic candidates.

ART played a critical role in getting Republicans elected in 2010. With your help, we achieved great success securing an unprecedented super-majority in the Texas House. During the 82nd Legislative Session, elected officials passed legislation that supports core Republican principals of preserving freedom, resorting personal accountability and responsibility, strengthening families and protecting our children’s future, and strengthening our economy.

The focus of the Hispanic Voter Network is to continue to build a statewide network of pro-business, pro-family minded conservatives who are passionate about the role that Hispanics must play in the future of the Republican Party.

For years, demographers have hypothesized about the rapid growth of the U.S. Hispanic population. Consequently, political scientists and pundits have gone to great lengths to attach predictions about ideology and voting behavior to the quickly changing electorate. While the actual political implications of this demographic shift remain to be seen, for the first time ever, the 2010 Census provides us with a concrete look at what this change means for Hispanics and Hispanic Outreach in Texas.

The truth is ... efforts like this have been tried before. Those efforts have struggled, in part, because they were limited, short-term sprints. ART is committed to taking the same election-winning, results-oriented approach that succeeded in 2010 and applying it to our long-term commitment to the Hispanic community.

...The Associated Republicans of Texas are back with force. Taking a more active role in fundraising than in several of the past election cycles, the group announced Thursday that it has raised nearly $1.5 million for the year and, as of June 30, had more than $1 million on hand. We haven’t yet seen their actual report to the Texas Ethics Commission (due July 15), but somebody is giving these guys a lot of money.

Here’s the line that jumped out at me from their release: “ART is focusing on competitive Texas House campaigns in districts never won by a Republican.”

The Associated Republicans of Texas - a fixture on the state’s political landscape for more than three decades - has been raising record sums of cash for a seven figure war chest that it plans to spend in hopes of helping the GOP expand its majority in the state House this year.

“Some of the most important contests this fall will be way down the ballot in communities like Portsmouth, Ohio and West Lafayette, Ind., and neighborhoods like Brushy Creek in Round Rock, Texas, and Murrysville Township in Westmoreland County, Pa. These are state legislative races that will determine who redraws congressional district lines after this year’s census, a process that could determine which party controls upwards of 20 seats and whether many other seats will be competitive.

To understand the broader political implications, consider that the GOP gained somewhere between 25 and 30 seats because of the redistricting that followed the 1990 census. Without those seats, Republicans would not have won the House in 1994. Control of redistricting also has huge financial implications. The average winner of a competitive House race in 2008 spent $2 million, while a noncompetitive seat can be defended for far less than half that amount. Moving, say, 20 districts from competitive to out-of-reach could save a party $100 million or more over the course of a decade.”

Dallas businessman George Seay (grandson of former Governor Bill Clements) will be joining Hector De Leon as co-chairs.”
