Interview Your Rep

Attachment: 3670/InterviewyourRep.pdf

 





Tis the season for interviewing candidates and meeting them at 
various end of year parties and fundraisers.

 

REMEMBER, this is a 

job interview

. Once hired you will be a great employer and help with 

goal setting, will hold mid year reviews and end of year reviews. Here 
are my tips:

•

AT THE END OF YOUR CONVERSATION: A list of COS 

statistics (#supporters, #petition signers, #volunteers in US/
Texas/SD/HD)

•

AT THE END OF YOUR CONVERSATION: A list of COS 

endorsers (US/TX/SD/HD). The more local, the better…think 
SRECs/SDECs, county chairs, delegates, elected officials, etc)

•

AT THE END OF YOUR CONVERSATION: COS materials

•

AT THE END OF YOUR CONVERSATION: Ask if he/she 

will support/endorse COS and removal of the sunset clause. 
(Let

 

@michael.deffendall

 

know the answer)

If he/she identifies as a Republican:

•

print out of the RPT priorities:

 

https://texasgop.org/priorities/

•

87th legislative session assessment

(ask him/her what he/she would do better)

•

Texas House Caucus speaker commitment:

 

https:%%//%%

texasgop.org/tx-house-caucus-speaker-commitment/

  

(ask if they 

will sign?)

•

This is why we have a speaker (Phelan) that did not pass 

liberty bills

•

Texans for Fiscal Responsibility:

(What would they 

do better?)

Ideas for questions to ask:

•

What do you want to be your most important accomplishment?

•

What will be your priorities going into the next session?

•

Are you aware of the Legislative Priorities of the Party of Texas 
that you represent? (Print a list and go thru your favorite topics)

•

Do you know which bills you want to submit?





•

What issues do you get the most phone calls and emails about? 
What is your response?

•

How will you help further the party priorities?

•

Have you met with the SECs?

•

Who are the lobbyists that are wooing you?

 

Ask about their top 

donors and their interests.

•

Will you commit to working publicly to advance the party 
priorities next session? (Or those placed on the call for a special 
session?)

•

How can your constituents help you in the next session?

•

Have you been a delegate or guest at the party state 
convention? Have you testified before the convention’s platform 
or legislative priorities committee?

•

Why did you choose this particular party?
