SENATE RESOLUTION NO. 1038
WHEREAS, The Senate of the State of Texas is pleased to
recognize the Conner Harrington Republican Women's Club, which
is entering its 40th year as a federated club; and
WHEREAS, Since its founding, members of the club have
served as county campaign chairs for numerous Republicans,
including such political leaders as John Tower, Bill Clements,
and George W. Bush; members have traveled out of state at their
own expense as members of the Mighty Texas Strike Force; and
WHEREAS, Club members helped to elect the first Republican
judge to a district court in Collin County and spearheaded a
write-in campaign to have a member of the club become the first
woman appointed to a Collin County Court-at-Law bench; and
WHEREAS, Highly effective leaders in the Plano community,
club members helped one of their members become mayor of Plano
and later serve in the Texas Senate; they campaigned strongly for
the appointment of the first woman to the Collin County
Commissioner's Court, where she still serves; and
WHEREAS, The members of the club are upstanding
individuals who are principled representatives on the local,
district, county, and state levels; six members have been named
as the Texas Federation's Top Ten Republican Women in the state
and six members have won the John McVeigh Award in Collin County;
now, therefore, be it
RESOLVED, That the Senate of the State of Texas, 82nd
Legislature, hereby commend the members of the Conner Harrington
Republican Women's Club on their outstanding work on behalf of
the Republican Party and extend congratulations to them as they
enter their 40th year as a federated club; and, be it further
RESOLVED, That a copy of this Resolution be prepared for
the club as an expression of esteem from the Texas Senate.
