Freedom is never more than one generation away from extinction. We didn’t pass it to our children in the bloodstream. It must be fought for, protected, and handed on for them to do the same, or one day we will spend our sunset years telling our children and our children’s children what it was once like in the United States where men were free. – Ronald Reagan

We have all seen the damage being done to our society by the Democrats in Washington, DC, and the lack of progress that occurs when Republicans have only a narrow majority in the Texas Legislature.  The November election is less than 100 days away, and it is time for you to decide if you are going to remain on the sidelines and hope things get better, or join us in the battle to restore sanity to Washington, break the logjam in Austin, and preserve common-sense conservative leadership in Williamson County.  Whether it is walking door to door, helping staff a booth, helping at headquarters, phoning voters from your home, attending rallies, building / installing signs, investing financially in our party, or assisting in other ways, there is a place for you to help.  Please contact the party today, or your favorite candidates(s) to learn more about how you can help make Tuesday, November 2^nd, a day to remember for generations to come.

Bill Fairbrother

Chair, Williamson County Republican Party

Due to the changing dynamics in the race for the Senate in Nevada, Sharron Angle has had to cancel her August 20^th appearances in Williamson County.  While we are disappointed, we wish Sharron continued success in her race to retire Harry Reid from the US Senate and we urge that you continue to support her as we do.

We apologize for any inconvenience, and will look for other opportunities to bring her to central Texas in the future.

The primary and runoff elections are over, and we now have our excellent slate of leaders who will be representing the Republican Party on the November ballot.  The Williamson County Republican Party is proud of the men and women who have stepped forward to ask for your vote in November.  With your participation, we will continue to elect candidates who are committed to maintaining the low crime rate and high quality of life we have come to expect in Williamson County.
