Austin, TX — This past weekend, the board of directors of the Texas Federation of Republican Women (TFRW) gathered in Georgetown for their quarterly meeting and heard from the leaders of various campaign initiatives on their success to date.
“This was an incredible year for our member volunteers,” said President Zenia Warren. “We anticipate the success of our efforts will bear significant fruit as election results come in. Our members registered Republican voters not just in Texas, but in key battleground states, in addition to our boots-on-the-ground efforts in several contested legislative and congressional races here at home.”
Warren continued, “TFRW adopted a variety of campaign initiatives this year giving our members options, offering something for everyone. Many of our initiatives were a first for TFRW and all programs were extremely successful.”
Among the reported numbers:
1. VEP “Voter Engagement Program” Over 600 Volunteers Registered 178,639 new Republican voters in Texas as of September 30th and anticipate this number will be 185,000 total after election is canvassed. Registered 164,424 new Republican voters in battleground states of Pennsylvania, Ohio, Michigan, Maryland, Montana, Nevada, and Wisconsin, with an additional 321,007 committed to register.
