Denton County is split between two different State Senatorial Districts: 12 and 30. These conventions will be the step up from the Precinct Conventions. Republican primary voters, that are nominated in their Precinct Convention, are eligible to attend their Senatorial District Convention. The resolutions that were submitted and passed in the Precinct Convention will be considered in their respective convention for inclusion in their SD’s platform.

NOTE: You must have been selected as a delegate or alternate delegate at the Precinct Conventions to be seated as a delegate or alternate delegate at the SD Convention. The public is allowed and encouraged to attend, but will not be allowed to participate in convention floor activities.

What is the Senate District Convention Process?

The process for the Senate District Convention begins several months before the Primary. The Denton County Republican Executive Committee, consisting of Precinct Chairs in their respective SD, votes to elect a temporary chair for their SD Convention. From there the temporary chair will establish the various temporary committees that are responsible for the functions of the convention.

At the time of the convention, the body will vote for and elect permanent members of committees and the Chair for the duration of the convention.

The various committees will give reports about their process, and resolutions will then be read, considered, and voted on the floor. If a resolution passes, they will be included in the SD convention platform report to then be submitted to the State.

Recommendations of Nominations Committee for Delegates/Alternates to the State Convention are read, considered, and voted on by delegates to submit to the RPT.
