Changes in Texas GOP

The Chairman of the Texas Republican Party resigned last month: http://www.statesman.com/news/state--re ... zwSpRFW7K/

A new Chairman was elected a few days ago: https://www.texastribune.org/2017/06/03 ... -election/
The new Chairman previously headed the Travis County GOP.

Reading a North Carolina blog, I happened to run across another change: The new state chairman as apparently appointed a new Operations Director:
Wednesday, June 7th, 2017

Austin- The Republican Party of Texas is proud to announce the hire of Rachel Malone to serve as the Operations Director. Rachel comes to the RPT after an extensive history as a grassroots activist in Texas, and has hosted countless legislative days at the Texas State Capitol and trained activists across the state on how to engage the legislature.

RPT Chairman James Dickey said this about the hiring of Rachel: “I could not be more proud to have brought Rachel on board. Her expertise in Party organization, legislative processes, and the RPT Platform will allow our Party to function at a high level within the grassroots, the backbone of our Party. Without question, Rachel is the perfect fit for the Party and we look forward to her contributions to the RPT.”

The blogger in North Carolina knows Rachel Malone, and had this to say about her:
For those that don't know, Rachel is a certified instructor for the Texas CHL, a Massad Ayoob Group certified instructor, the founder of Texas Firearms Freedom, and, last but not least, a professional musician. Rachel was also formerly a Shoot Boss for Project Appleseed. That someone who has been so intimately involved in the gun culture is now in a position of influence within the Texas Republican Party can mean nothing but good things for gun rights in Texas.
The blogger (John Richardson) also said Rachel Malone co-hosts a podcast with him, the Polite Society Podcast.

I hope that means the GOP in Texas is going to push 2A rights more aggressively in the future.
