The Republican Party of Texas has elected Tom Mechler as their new Chairman, in a meeting of the State Republican Executive Committee (SREC) in downtown Austin on Saturday afternoon.

The Republican Party of Texas (RPT) will elect a new chairman on Saturday afternoon to replace outgoing Chairman Steve Munisteri, who is resigning to serve as an adviser for Senator Rand Paul (R-Kentucky).

On Saturday, the Republican Party of Texas (RPT) will choose a new Chairman, and out of the four candidates running, Dallas County GOP Chairman Wade Emmert has earned popular support among the state’s Young Republicans.

Republican Party of Texas (RPT) Chairman Steve Munisteri will leave the party with a complete slate of county party chairs as he leaves the party on Saturday. All 254 counties of the State of Texas have Republican Party chairs for the second time during Munisteri’s tenure. This was one of his top priorities when he took office in the summer of 2010.

Republican Party of Texas Chairman Steve Munisteri surprised his fellow state Republicans, not by his resignation, but by announcing that he was joining the staff of Kentucky Senator and presidential hopeful Rand Paul (R-KY). Munisteri’s resignation has long been expected as he has said he would not be finishing his term months ago.
