The Pecan Valley Republican Women will host their monthly luncheon at 11:30 a.m. on Thursday, August 25th at the Brownwood Country Club. The public is invited to attend.
The featured speaker will be Rhonda J. Lacy, Republican Party of Texas Strike Force Director. Lacy is an accomplished motivational and inspirational speaker. She was also one of the three delegates elected from Congressional District 11, which includes Brown County, to represent the Texas Delegation at the GOP Convention in Cleveland. Lacy will be speaking on the Strike Force, both Mighty Texas Strike Force and the Mighty American Strike Force which started this year, along with other topics.
Rhonda J. Lacy was born in Texas and “cut her teeth” on Republican politics as a youngster in Ohio, Oklahoma and Texas, gaining experience in campaigning for her mother’s County Chair race in Tulsa, Oklahoma, her father’s Railroad Commission race in Texas and recently her nephew’s victorious 60/40% win for City Council race in Midland. Including George W. Bush’s first Congressional race, Rhonda has literally worked in hundreds of campaigns block-walking, running phone banks, doing mail-outs all over the state of Texas and believes strongly in the Mighty Three for Republicans of 1) Recruiting Republicans, 2) Electing Republicans, 3) Sharing the good conservative Republican message.Serving in several capacities on the Texas Federation of Republican Women Board from Chaplain to Education Chair, committees on legislation, awards, special events, membership, outreach, Belles and Boots decorations, and TFRW VP Programs, Rhonda is currently TFRW’s VP of Membership. She is responsible for beginning the “Now You Are 18 Booklet” High School Senior program in Texas which has now spread to other states. While President of the largest club in the nation, Midland County Republican Women with 604 members, Rhonda promoted the “Republicans Believe In” business card to women throughout the nation. She serves in the southern part of Senatorial District 31 as SREC, but also loves her Republicans ‘up north’ in the Panhandle! Rhonda works in the Auxiliaries and Grassroots committees at the Republican Party of Texas and is the current Prayer Chairman for both the Party and TFRW sending out much-needed prayer requests and updates on the Republican family. During the 2014 election cycle she co-chaired the creation of 13 National Federation of Repulican Women Strike Force Teams which helped to ‘Get Out The Vote’ and help take back the U.S. Senate. Rhonda is the RPT 2016 State Strike Force Director and Co-Chair of the Mighty Texas Strike Force to put thousands of volunteers into 13 Battleground States and 8 Battleground areas of Texas. She recently worked on the Cruz Strike Force in Iowa.
Over the years, Rhonda has seen the difference that boots on the ground can make in ‘Getting Out the Vote’. She has encouraged the beginning of the now strong Young Republicans in Midland and Odessa and is currently working to establish both College Republicans and High School Republicans in the southern part of SD 31 as well as establishing the “Despierta Tu Voz – Wake Up Your Voice” Hispanic Republican Rally which has now become an annual event.
Besides politics, Rhonda serves on the Missions Committee at First Baptist Midland, working in more than ten countries and many states, is on the board of the Ruth School in Bucharest, Romania where she once smuggled in Bibles before the fall of communism, has served on the Live On Stage Community Concerts Board and is a mentor in the GAP department at First Baptist with young singles moving into Midland, many of whom she taught previously during her 30 years as a kindergarten teacher before retiring to become a full-time Republican Rebel. Rhonda loves her country, its God-ordained Constitution, works tirelessly to educate her citizens as how to save this nation for those who come behind us and prays without ceasing for America’s return to God and Constitution.
