2012 Texas RED Conference

Letter from the TYRF State Chairman, Mark C. Brown

In the summer of 2011, the Texas Young Republican Federation brought together young conservative activists from around the State of Texas to sharpen their political skills and deepen their involvement in Texas politics. On February 3rd and 4th, 2012, in Dallas, TX, we will again host the Texas Red Conference. A Very Important Time The 2010 and 2011 campaign years saw the rise of the Tea Party movement and a wave of new people becoming involved in politics, often for the first time. The Texas Young Republican Federation has seen this wave firsthand, as our organization has grown through the introduction of many new members. Therefore, as we prepare for the 2012 Republican Primary and the November General Election, we believe it is critical to ensure that all of younger under 40 activists receive the training, knowledge, and skills to be effectively involved in their local campaigns and to see our conservative principles advanced in society through the election of consistently conservative candidates. Young Republican National Federation Founded in 1931, the Young Republicans are the oldest political youth organization in the United States. With a focus on the 18 40 year age bracket, its members consist of both full-time political activists and young professionals with nonpolitical careers. Through small political clubs, candidate forums, and a close working relationship with the Republican Party, the Young Republicans educate their members on the issues of the day and provide opportunities for members to become involved in both campaigns and the larger Republican Party. The Young Republicans have a strong history of producing future party leaders. On the national level, Young Republican Alumni include Rick Santorum (2012 Presidential Candidate), Newt Gingrich (2012 Presidential Candidate), Barry Goldwater (1964 Presidential Candidate), Jeb Bush (former Florida Governor), and Tim Pawlenty (Minnesota Governor). Within the State of Texas, Young Republican Alumni include Sen. John Cornyn, Rep. Steve Bartlett, State Rep. Stefani Carter, State Rep. Kenneth Sheets, former Dallas County Chair Jonathan Neerman, and numerous local elected officials and SREC representatives. As we prepare for the 2nd annual Texas RED Conference on February 3rd 4th, we invite you to become part of this new tradition through sponsorship. Previous sponsors have included diverse candidates and party organizations, including RNC committeepersons, state representatives, county commissioners, and appellate court judges. Sponsorships include advertising on our website as well as signage at the event and advertising in the event program. Please take a few moments to review the enclosed materials and consider supporting this great event. Your generosity ensures another successful Texas Red Conference and enables the continuation of critical grassroots training of younger conservative activists. A representative from our organization will be contacting you to discuss these opportunities. If you have any questions in the meantime, please feel free to contact me at chairman@texasyoungrepublicans.com. Thank you for your time and support!

Mark C. Brown, Chairman, Texas Young Republican Federation
