Our Republican leadership has stepped forward in a big way to contribute to the success of the state party, and we would particularly like to thank and recognize U.S. Senator John Cornyn for his efforts.

Despite his busy schedule in Washington, and his duties as Chairman of the National Republican Senatorial Committee – Senator Cornyn has taken a strong role to help the RPT achieve success and been very gracious with his time and support. Earlier this year, he was instrumental in helping us raise money in San Antonio, and he and his staff have worked together with RPT Chairman Steve Munisteri to provide introductions and meetings with potential donors to the state party.

Most recently, Senator Cornyn again stepped forward to help the RPT as the guest of honor at an RPT fundraiser in Lubbock in October, where he was welcomed by an enthusiastic crowd at the home of Mark and Claudia Griffin.

Also in attendance at the fundraiser were notable Lubbock Republicans such as State Senator Robert Duncan, State Representative John Frullo, and Lubbock Mayor Tom Martin. We would also like to thank all of the donors and supporters who came out to join us at the event to hear from Senator Cornyn – it was also a game day in Lubbock for the Texas Tech Red Raiders, so special thanks goes out to all the fans who came out to meet the Senator!

We would also like to extend our deepest appreciation for the hard work and leadership of Lubbock County Republican Chairman Chris Winn for his tireless efforts in helping this event gather a fantastic turnout. Chairman Munisteri was unable to attend the event due to a State Republican Executive Committee event in Austin, and Chris stood in as a wonderful host and representative of the party. We are most appreciative of Chris' help and for his continued leadership for the Republican Party in Lubbock!

Finally, we would like to thank all of the donors and supporters who came out to support the event and hear from Senator Cornyn. We are most grateful to the Senator for his willingness to make this event a great success and for his continued support of the Republican Party of Texas!
