Numerous public officials were in attendance including but not limited to Hidalgo County Party Chairman Sergio Sanchez (who delivered an excellent introduction) and City Commissioner Jessica Tetreau from Brownsville, Wanda Reyes Rice of Laguna Vista, and many more.
The Governor reviewed his veto of some 43 proposed laws in the efforts to not allow government to grow even more- stating that this year is a new record low in laws hitting the books compared to the last decade.
But he stated that even then too many laws have been created, and he intends to be even more protective of individual freedoms. The term "true conservative" was a major focus in his speech.
Listing several venues in and visits to the Rio Grande Valley, the Governor expressed his intent to have a continued presence in our part of the state. He also reviewed his recent visit with Mexican President Nieto and proactive discussions on the part of the Mexican government to address border security at not only their southern, but northern, border as well. The Governor also mentioned the performance of former Cameron County Judge Carlos Cascos in facilitating and acting as an excellent agent in furthering Texan-Mexican economic relations.
All in all it was a successful and well attended event. Cameron County Republican Party leadership was present including SREC & Executive Director Sharon Batterson, Executive Director Winifred Marshall, Asst. Exec Director and Brownsville Club President Morgan Graham, YR Regional Coordinator Josh Ballenger (who is also the Youth Outreach Director for the Cameron Party.)
All of this will be followed by the election of an Interim County Party Chairman amongst the Executive Committee tomorrow and another Republican Presidential Event today. It is an eventful week for our little corner of the state.
