Retired businessman Steve Munisteri is hoping to woo the delegates at the Republican Party of Texas State Convention to elect him chairman of the state Republican party.
He's been a delegate himself for many years, attending both state and national convention. His first one was in 1976 when he was in high school, and the SREC race that year was decided by 1 vote - from a member of his high school group of delegates.
Munisteri says there's a a large problem that needs to be addressed, regarding the party's values and principals.
"If we were true to our values, we would not have Barack Obama as president in the first place," he said.
Regarding finances, he said he'd like to reduce the amount of party funds designated for telemarketing and mass mailings, and go to a one-on-one system of contacting donors to contribute.
He said the party needs to get back to grassroots organization in the state, encouraging state-wide block walks and better coordination among candidates and the grassroots activists.
Munisteris said, "There's no reason to have a party, unless you're going to stand on principles." He called for a clear way to disseminate information on where a candidate stands on issues, and he thinks the best way to do that is to post candidate positions on the RPT website.
He ended by saying, "The differences between the three RPT chair candidates is so small compared to the need to protect our country from what the liberals in Washington are doing."
