Texas Tribune had a piece this past weekend following Konni Burton succeeding Wendy Davis and Wayne Faircloth succeeding Craig Eiland - the latest endangered species – White Dems in the Texas Legislature – the Magnificent Seven, the Lucky Seven, or the Dwindling Seven! The Republican Party of Texas is pleased to announce after completing a survey of the most recent election results around the state, that we have set yet another record for the total number of Republicans in elected office. This last election cycle, we added a net increase of 360 Republicans. This is the second highest incremental increase in the Party’s history. During the 2010 cycle, we added a net increase of 500 which is the most we have ever added during any cycle. After the 2008 cycle, Republicans held 2,395 offices around the state compared to the 3,653 we hold today. After the 2008 cycle, Republicans held less than half of all the elected offices in the state. Today Republicans hold approximately 7 out of every 10 offices around state. RPT Chairman Steve Munisteri commented, “During the last three election cycles, we have set a record each time with total number of Republicans elected across the state. Today, there are 1,262 more Republicans holding office in the state of Texas then there were when I took over as State Chairman. I am very proud of the staff here at the RPT, our Republican activists, and our candidates who worked so hard to make this happen.
