Gillespie County Republican Party

“Gillespie County is something of an aberration in that it is a historically Republican county in a state that was overwhelmingly Democratic up until recent decades. This is largely due to the heavily German-American heritage of the county and that Gillespie was the center of Texas’ small Unionist movement during the Civil War when most Texas Germans acquiesced to secession but Fredericksburg was still self-sufficient and sold surplus food to the army. Gillespie County has been won by Republicans in every election since 1896 with only a handful of exceptions.” (Source-Wikipedia)Today, the Republican Party of Texas is governed by the State Republican Executive Committee (SREC). It is composed of the Chairman, Abraham George, the Vice-Chairman, D’rinda Randall, and a committeeman and committeewoman from each of the 31 State Senate Districts. Gillespie County is in Senate District 24 and is represented by Andrew Eller, Committeeman, and Mary Jane Avery, Committeewoman.In Gillespie County, there are four groups representing area Republicans; the GC Republican Party, the GC Republican Women, the Fredericksburg Republican Club, and the GC Young Republicans. You can find them all in the navigation menu of the GCRP website.
