H.R. No. 2491
R E S O L U T I O N
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 the notable service of
Langston Gillum as Republican Party precinct chair for Precinct 664
in Harris County; 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 and captains in
Harris and Fort Bend Counties; citizens who participate 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 and captains serve as the
ambassadors of their political party, and they take on
responsibilities that require tremendous 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 and
captains are making a positive 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 Langston Gillum for serving 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 Langston Gillum as an expression of high regard by the
Texas House of Representatives.
