“The RNC is proud to open our fourth community center in Texas this year as part of the nationwide push we are making to reach new voters. We look forward to welcoming Dallas’ vibrant, diverse communities to this center and working alongside you to elect more common sense conservative leaders who will fight for our shared values and put our families first.” - RNC Chairman Ronna McDaniel
The Dallas community center is the tenth opened this year by the RNC to specifically reach minority voters, with 35 total planned before November 2022. The RNC community centers will allow voters to volunteer as well as be a place to come together and discuss the issues that affect them and their families. “We’re going to be here as long as it takes to build relationships and make long-lasting friendships because the Republican Party wants you to be a part of this movement which will reclaim our country.” - RNC Co-Chairman Tommy Hicks
Speakers highlighted Democrat policy failures on education and parental rights that resulted in Republicans sweeping to victory in the blue state of Virginia and flipping a Democratic state house seat in Texas. “The era of divisive Democrat racial identity politics is over. The way forward is a Republican Party that unifies people of all backgrounds towards one goal - saving the America we love for our children.” - Republican Party of Texas Chairman Matt Rinaldi
Recent surveys indicate Indian Americans swung 10% for Republicans in 2020 according to AAPI Data, with exit polls showing the GOP gained 7% with Asian Americans overall.
The opening’s programming included a blessing by a Hindu priest and a Diwali light ceremony where co-Chair Hicks and local community members lit the Diya.
