Texans Consider Democratic Defectors Entering Gop
Dallas February 15 The Texas Republican State Executive Committee invites Democrats who supported Hoover in 1928 to join the Republican Party as permanent members in good standing. The motion also urged ending the primary pledge system and called for legislation to protect voters right to cast ballots per conscience. Leaders touted prospects for a two party Texas and noted a shift away from brass collar democracy as they discuss governor hopefuls.
