WHEREAS, The observance of Texas Federation for Republican |
|
|
Outreach Legislative Day at the State Capitol on May 23, 2013, |
|
|
provides a fitting opportunity to recognize Zoia Jones of Houston |
|
|
for more than two decades of distinguished service as a Republican |
|
|
Party precinct chair; and |
|
|
WHEREAS, Established in 1986 as the Black Republican Council |
|
|
of Texas, the Texas Federation for Republican Outreach is an |
|
|
auxiliary of the Republican Party of Texas that recruits African |
|
|
American voters as Republican precinct chairs in Harris and Fort |
|
|
Bend Counties; citizens who have participated in this initiative |
|
|
come from a wide range of backgrounds, but they share common values, |
|
|
including devotion to family, faith, and freedom, and they strive |
|
|
together to promote increased diversity in the party; and |
|
|
WHEREAS, Precinct chairs serve as the ambassadors of their |
|
|
political party, and they take on responsibilities that require |
|
|
great dedication and many hours of hard work; moreover, they serve |
|
|
as election judges in primary and general elections; these |
|
|
civic-minded individuals are integral to the success of the party's |
|
|
mission to elect public servants who will build a better tomorrow; |
|
|
and |
|
|
WHEREAS, Through their involvement, precinct chairs are |
|
|
making a profound difference in their communities, this state, and |
|
|
the nation, and they may take justifiable pride in their admirable |
|
|
record of civic engagement; now, therefore, be it |
|
|
RESOLVED, That the House of Representatives of the 83rd Texas |
|
|
Legislature hereby commend Zoia Jones for her longtime service as a |
|
|
Republican Party precinct chair and extend to this outstanding |
|
|
Texan sincere best wishes for the future; and, be it further |
|
|
RESOLVED, That an official copy of this resolution be |
|
|
prepared for Zoia Jones as an expression of high regard by the Texas |
|
|
House of Representatives. |
