statement
in
response:
I
am
truly
honored
to
have
been
selected
for
the
RLGA
Executive
Committee,
particularly
during
such
a
critical
election
year.
The
RLGA
has
done
a
tremendous
job
of
supporting
strong,
Republican
candidates
for
lieutenant
governor
offices
nationwide.
Im
looking
forward
to
working
alongside
the
11
other
officials
from
across
the
country
to
promote
our
conservative
ideals
of
small
government,
free
enterprise
and
individual
liberty
at
the
state
level.
Lt.
Governor
Patrick
will
host
the
RLGA
in
Austin
this
June.
This
will
be
the
first
time
the

This

a
great
opportunity
for
Texas
businesses
to
share
their
products
and
services
to
32
Republican
Lt.
Governors.
