2. Senatorial District (SD) 8 Convention - Saturday March 23, 2024 (Collin College Spring Creek Campus, 2800 E. Spring Creek Pkwy, Room AA135)
A Senatorial District (SD) Convention is held when the county is divided between two or more state senatorial districts. The temporary senatorial district chairman is elected by the precinct chairs within that county’s state senatorial district.
Anyone may attend the convention as a guest. Only those individuals who were elected by their precinct can be delegates and alternates at the county or senatorial district convention. Attend the precinct convention or notify me if you want to be a delegate to the SD convention.
Delegates to the county or state senatorial district convention elect permanent convention officers, elect delegates and alternates to the state convention, and consider and vote on resolutions.
Committees may be used to do some of the preliminary work for the convention. For example, a nominations committee may be elected to consider those wanting to be elected as delegates to the next convention, then present a slate of delegates and alternates for the convention body to vote on.
The resolutions committee may be elected to consider resolutions, then present a resolutions report for the convention body to vote on.
Note: If you are interested in attending the State Convention, you must attend your Precinct Convention, nominate delegates (including yourself) to the senatorial convention, and then nominate delegates (including yourself) for the State Convention.
