MESSAGE FROM YOLANDA WATERS Happy 2017! This new year brings with it renewed hope our country will return to the conservative principles upon which our great nation was built. The power to reinstate the conservative Republican values in which we believe is in our hands! As Trump instills his vision to “Make America Great,” so too must our attitudes change to embrace the many changes that are sure to materialize from his administration. We have an opportunity to build the Republican Party to levels unlike any other time in history. We must involve all of those individuals who supported Trump. Please make a concerted effort to recruit new members to the Galveston Republican Women. If you have not already volunteered to help on one of our committees, please do so now! Send an email to me stating your preferences. Your help will be greatly appreciated.

Total Texas PAC Spending The bulk of this report identifies and ranks Texas’ top general-purpose political action committees (PACs) in the 2012 election cycle (one chapter also analyzes special-purpose PACs). Rankings are based on the total expenditures that PACs electronically reported to the Texas Ethics Commission. During the two-year election cycle ending in December 2012, 1,364 general-purpose PACs reported expenditures.1 There were more PACs active in 2012 than any other election over the past decade. Yet those PACs spent $126 million, a 5 percent decrease from the 2010 gubernatorial election cycle. PACs typically dig deeper in gubernatorial election years to influence the elections of a bumper crop of statewide officeholders. 2012 PAC spending increased 6 percent over the preceding non-gubernatorial election in 2008.
