The Texas Republican Party has ousted its chair, Abraham George, following concerns over turnout trends and Democratic engagement in the state. Vice Chair D’rinda Randall will take over as chairwoman of the party.

Leadership Change

George was first elected chairman in 2024 and has been a key figure in the party’s efforts to advance conservative policy initiatives, including election integrity, border security, and property tax relief. However, his tenure has been marked by concerns over turnout trends, with some Republicans expressing nervousness about the party’s ability to drive voters to the polls.

According to GOP operative Trey Trainor, the low turnout in recent primaries is a cause for concern, and the party needs to create enthusiasm and drive people to vote. The leadership change comes as Texas Republicans prepare for the November elections and continue to push for key priorities, including election integrity and border security.

George has congratulated incoming Chairwoman D’rinda Randall and urged Republicans to unite ahead of the November elections. He remains committed to serving the party and fighting for conservative principles.
