We are looking forward to hearing from our

August speaker, the Honorable Sarah Davis,

Legislator, District 134. Rep. Davis wears MANY

hats in her very busy life. Her accomplishments as

a public servant, commitment to her career, and

honors and awards would cover this entire page.

Currently, Rep. Davis is Chair of the General Investigating

& Ethics Committee and Chair of the Appropriations Sub-

Committee on Health and Human Services. She also serves on

the Corrections Committee and the Calendars Committee.

Representative Davis has served as the Secretary of the

Women's Health Caucus for multiple consecutive sessions and also

serves as the Speaker's appointee to the Texas Access to Justice

Commission. She was recently named one of the top ten legislators

by Texas Monthly for her work in the 85th Legislative session.

Rep. Davis received a Bachelor’s Degree in Economics from

Baylor in 1998 and her Law Degree from the University of

Houston in 2001. She was just recently named to the Select

Committee to Study Economic Competitiveness. Rep. Davis has

also been named to the Appropriations Sub-Committee on

Hurricane Harvey Resources and Recovery. She is a 41-year-old

breast cancer survivor, and lives with her husband, Kent Adams.

PRESIDENT Reneé Cromwell

Welcome back from our break! I

hope you are all enjoying your summer.

It’s time to roll up our sleeves and get

involved to get our strong Republican

candidates elected in November. There

are many actions you can take to get

involved, and Rita has done a fantastic

job outlining what these are in her Campaign section. I encourage

you to please choose at least one to help out your favorite candidates.

In June the Texas Republican Convention was held in San

Antonio, TX, where our delegates outlined the RPT platform for

November 2018. You can read more about it in the Legislative

section. Also, TFRW held a “Tribute to Women” luncheon

where they honored our presidents, past and present, for all the

Texas clubs. It was a wonderful lunch, and we got to hear from

our great First Lady of Texas, Cecilia Abbott.

At our June meeting Kaylyn Rock was awarded the

2018 Priscilla Petty Scholarship of $1,000. We are all very

proud of Kaylyn and we wish her all the best as she starts a new

chapter in her life. You can read about all her

accomplishments, which are many, in the Scholarship section.

Also in June we had a very informative speaker,

Commissioner Jack Cagle, Harris County Precinct 4. He gave a

presentation about the flooding challenges in our area and his

plans to prevent future flooding. Related to this is the Bond

Election for Flood Control scheduled for August 25th

. Early

voting starts August 8th

. Learn more at https://www.hcfcd.org/.

We have Voter Registrar training scheduled for

September 10th

. It will be immediately following our monthly

general meeting. Also, we are planning several membership

events in the coming months, and I’d like each of you to invite

at least one new friend or relative to them. It is important to get

other Republican women involved, and most likely they will

find it rewarding and fun.

SCHOLARSHIP Karen Donelson

Left to right:

Karen Donelson,

Scholarship Chair;

Dolores Rock;

Kaylyn Rock;

Christine Rock; and

Reneé Cromwell,

NWFRW President

Kaylyn Rock, the daughter of Doug and Christine Rock and

the granddaughter of NWFRW member, Dolores Rock, received

the 2018 Priscilla Petty Scholarship of $1,000. Kaylan is a

recent graduate of Kingwood High School where she placed in

the top 15% of her class. She was a member of both the

National Honor Society and the Spanish National Honor

Society. While a student at KHS, Kaylyn was a member of the

Kingwood High School softball team as well as playing

competitive softball outside of school. She was Secretary of the

Best Buddies Club, an organization that pairs students with their

classmates who have intellectual and developmental disabilities.

Kaylyn was also a member of National Charity League, a

Mother-Daughter volunteer organization, for 5 years, logging

over 125 hours of service. In addition to her extensive volunteer

activities, Kaylyn worked as a softball umpire and a daycare

worker.

One of the most impressive parts of Kaylyn’s résumé is how

she turned a personal injury into a career path. Her interaction

with her physical therapists, both good and bad, made her realize

that compassion and kindness were as much a part of the healing

process as the physical rehabilitation. Kaylyn sought out a place

where she could gain experience in the area of physical therapy

as well as learn to provide the care and concern needed in

working with the disabled. She found this in Active

Development Therapies, an organization that provides children

with disabilities the treatment they need to grow and develop.

Kaylyn volunteered over 100 hours last summer at ADT and

plans to return this summer.

A recently registered voter, Kaylyn has already worked on a

political campaign and is looking forward to her first voting

opportunity in this year’s elections. As she stated in her essay on

what citizenship in America means to me, “citizenship has

provided me with a duty because in the United States, we are

called to exercise our freedom and right to vote in order for our

voices to be heard and to perpetuate our democracy.”

Kaylyn’s major at Texas A&M University is Allied Health.

She will then go on to graduate school to become a Physical

Therapist.

V.P. MEMBERSHIP Mary Gubert

We now have a total membership of 151.

As we all know, we need to attract more

members, but we also need to keep the

members that we have. Everyone wants to feel

welcome. Think about inviting a person you don’t

know to sit at your table. This could be a new friend for you and

certainly a warm reception for the person being invited.

Membership forms are included in every Potpourri. If you

know of someone who might be interested in being more

informed politically though our general information and/or by

meeting our politically current speakers, please give them a form

and encourage them to check us out.

membership table or contact me at marygubert.mg@gmail.com

or 281.376.1663 (h). Mail membership form and dues to: Mary

Gubert, 12219 Rocky Lake Court, Houston, TX 77070. I hope you are enjoying your summer.

ARE YOU REALLY INVOLVED IN NWFRW? By Jo Konen

Do you want to be involved in Northwest Forest’s

activities? Why aren’t you? Is it because no one has asked you?

Have you asked anyone else to become involved in a project you

are doing for NWF?

Being asked is the flattering gesture that we all want. And,

conversely, we are all guilty of not asking others to help.

Sometimes it is just plain oversight. Other times we fall into the

pattern of “it’s easier just to do it myself.” Sometimes we even

secretly feel that “I can do it better than anyone else.”

When you are in charge of a project, no matter how small or

large, you should ask others to help. Why? Because we are a

group. We are an organization that has many members. Being a

part of that organization is what each of us wants and “being a

part of” means participating in the organization.

But the leaders and chairmen aren’t the only ones who have

an obligation to be sure that all are included. All members have

an obligation to want to be involved and to seek aggressively a

place to be involved.

Yes, it’s flattering to be asked. But often the leaders just

don’t know what you really like to do. You have to tell them.

Even if you don’t volunteer, you can casually say to someone,

“You know, I really like to ____________.” You fill in the

blank. Don’t be shy or hide behind false modesty (is that really

a problem in these progressive days?!). Step up to the plate and

offer your services. You will get your strokes from those who

are pleased and grateful to have you help. You will be showered

with thanks and praise.

Being involved will help you hone your leadership skills.

All organizations need for its members to learn more about the

workings of the group in order to have leaders for tomorrow.

No one will force you to become anything, but, as you grow in

your knowledge and expertise, you will be ready to take on

bigger and more responsible tasks in the future.

Northwest Forest has a wonderful bunch of women,

talented, knowledgeable, and capable. Don’t hide all that

abundance “under a bushel.” We need you to make this club an

even bigger and more effective instrument for positive political

power in our area.

CAMPAIGN Rita Huggler

With hope, you had a lovely Summer and

are relaxed and ready to work to ELECT

Republicans. When they say All politics

is local, it certainly is, so please get

educated, get involved, and mark your calendar.

These are the pertinent dates from HCRP Northwest HQ,

21542 Suite B, State Highway 249, Houston, 77070:

Saturday, July 28 - Judicial Block Walk - 9:00 a.m. - Noon

Saturday, August 11 - Block Walk for Sam Harless -

www.samharless126.com/ - 9:00 a.m. - Noon

Saturday, September 15 - Yard Sign Blitz for Sam Harless

& Rep. Tom Oliverson - www.tomoliverson.com/ -

9:00 a.m. - Noon

Another really important date is SATURDAY,

AUGUST 25 - Harris County Bond Referendum Election.

EARLY VOTING begins August 8, 2018. GOTO www.harrisvotes.com/ to find your polling times and locations.

Harris County will ask voters to approve funds for HC Flood

Control District projects designed for Flood Prevention.

154,170 county homes flooded and that figure includes houses

near Spring, Willow, and Cypress Creeks. This is important to

NWFRW members who experienced flooding and homeowners

in general after the Memorial Day Flood in 2015, the Tax Day

Flood in April 2016, and Hurricane Harvey in August 2017.

At our June meeting, our own HC Commissioner R. Jack

Cagle - www.hcp4.net/ - gave a wonderful presentation on some

of the ideas to prevent future flooding. Much of the planning is

to deal with the water in our area and to stop that water from our

area flowing South. For more information GOTO

www.hcfcd.org/ - Much of the proposed spending will benefit

our area specifically as well as help everything South of our

area. Plan to VOTE and encourage everyone you know to

VOTE. This is one of the most important elections for our

area - THINK PROPERTY VALUE - VOTE !

NOW is the time to commit to helping the candidates you

chose to support - they need time, effort, and $$. Campaigns

cost a lot of money. If you want your candidate to prevail in

November, open your pocketbook and donate. PLEASE GET

INVOLVED.

NWFRW forwards emails related to campaigns and some

are from candidates across this country. These Republican

candidates may not represent us, but electing Republicans

across the county is vitally important in this time of RESIST

EVERYTHING, Fake News, Election Fraud, and attacks on

Republicans. If you can spare a few $$, please think hard

about helping Republican candidates in other districts and

across our country.

Help HCRP - www.harriscountygop.com/ which has been

doing an awesome job. It’s wonderful that we & other areas

have satellite offices, but they cost $$ to operate, so PLEASE

send a contribution to HCRP - 2501A Central Parkway A-11,

Houston, TX 77092. We can’t afford to lose more judicial

seats to the democrats (I will not capitalize democrats.) who

are energized to destroy America as we know it.

We are Republican Women -WE ARE NWFRW and we

need to get engaged, involved & VOTE, & encourage others

to get involved & VOTE. Adopt the phrase - IF IT’S TO

BE, IT’S UP TO ME.

LEGISLATIVE Sandy Remson

The 2018 RPT Platform is online as amended by

the convention delegates. A small army of volunteers

working on two continents helped to make it online,

real-time, transparent, checked, and double-checked.

Preamble: Affirming our belief in God, we

still hold these truths to be self-evident, that all

men are created equal, that they are endowed by their

Creator with certain unalienable Rights, that among these

are Life, Liberty, and the Pursuit of Happiness. Throughout

the world, people dare to dream of freedom and opportunity.

The Republican Party of Texas unequivocally defends

that dream. We strive to preserve the freedom given to us

by God, implemented by our Founding Fathers, and

embodied in the Constitution. We recognize that the

traditional family is the strength of our nation. It is our

solemn duty to protect innocent life and develop responsible

citizens. We understand that our economic success depends

upon free market principles. If we fail to maintain our

sovereignty, we risk losing the freedom to live these ideals.

https://drive.google.com/file/d/1bds1zKzmpnVVu_Xz1NKCbFiIcARjYUx0/view?pli=1 Though the platform includes issues ranging from medical

marijuana to the USS Texas, topping the list are the party’s five

legislative priorities:

Constitutional Carry: Pass constitutional carry while

maintaining licensing as optional for reciprocity purposes.

Taxpayer-Funded Lobbying: Pass legislation to abolish

all forms of taxpayer-funded lobbying and end the

automatic payroll deduction of union dues by the

government.

Abortion: Pass legislation to abolish abortion; including,

but not limited to, enacting legislation that would ignore and

refuse to enforce any and all federal statutes, regulations,

executive orders, and court rulings, which would deprive an

unborn child of the right to life, as well as enacting life-

saving legislation such as PreNDA or a “heartbeat bill.”

Property Tax: Abolish the Maintenance and Operation

School property tax and replace it with a consumption tax or

other mechanism other than income tax while broadening

the tax base, eliminating the appraisal board, and taxing the

property at the purchased value or the free market value

upon change of hands for local government funding and

special district funding. School Maintenance and Operation

funds shall be allocated from the state’s general fund to

Texas’ Independent School Districts via an inflation-

adjusted, per-student-allocation.

Religious Freedom and Privacy: Pass legislation

prohibiting the violation of the rights and freedoms of

individuals, organizations, and businesses to exercise their

sincerely held religious beliefs by local ordinances or state

laws; and pass legislation that protects the privacy and

safety of women and children in multi-use facilities such as

bathrooms, locker rooms, and showers in all Texas schools

and government buildings and oppose legislation that would

undermine these privacy and safety protections.
