SENATE RESOLUTION NO. 178
|
|
|
WHEREAS, The Senate of the State of Texas is pleased to |
|
|
recognize B. R. "Skipper" Wallace, who is stepping down as chair |
|
|
of the Lampasas County Republican Party after 28 years of |
|
|
exceptional service; and |
|
|
WHEREAS, Skipper Wallace became chair of the Lampasas |
|
|
County Republican Party in 1991; at the time, no Republicans held |
|
|
elected office in the county, and the county had also gone |
|
|
without representation at Texas Republican Conventions; and |
|
|
WHEREAS, Under Mr. Wallace's leadership, the party began |
|
|
to sponsor precinct and county conventions and to elect delegates |
|
|
to the Texas Republican Convention; in addition, it is largely |
|
|
due to Mr. Wallace's effective leadership that Republicans now |
|
|
hold every elected office in the county; Lampasas Republicans |
|
|
have worked hard to support local and national candidates, and |
|
|
Mr. Wallace was honored to be one of the delegates to nominate |
|
|
George W. Bush for president at the 2000 Republican National |
|
|
Convention; and |
|
|
WHEREAS, The Lampasas County Republican Party has hosted a |
|
|
number of prominent political speakers, including governors, |
|
|
United States senators, and United States representatives, and |
|
|
its members have taken part in such national initiatives as the |
|
|
Mighty Victory Strike Force; the organization is active in the |
|
|
community through its support for the Firemen's Toy Drive and |
|
|
through its scholarship program and its Annual Golf Tournament |
|
|
and Picnic; and |
|
|
WHEREAS, Skipper Wallace has played a vital role in the |
|
|
growth and success of the Lampasas County Republican Party, and |
|
|
it is truly fitting that he receive special recognition for his |
|
|
excellent work; now, therefore, be it |
|
|
RESOLVED, That the Senate of the State of Texas, 86th |
|
|
Legislature, hereby commend B. R. "Skipper" Wallace on his |
|
|
outstanding service as chair of the Lampasas County Republican |
|
|
Party and extend to him best wishes for continued success in all |
|
|
his endeavors; and, be it further |
|
|
RESOLVED, That a copy of this Resolution be prepared for |
|
|
him as an expression of esteem from the Texas Senate. |
