The Hispanic Republicans of Texas was founded to recruit and support Hispanic Republicans running for Federal, State and local offices.
Founded in 2009, HRT made an immediate impact helping elect FIVE Hispanic Republican state representatives in 2010, up from ZERO in the previous session.
In total, HRT has helped elect 11 conservative Hispanic Republicans to the Texas House.
Since its founding, the Hispanic Republicans of Texas PAC has raised nearly $2 million toward campaign contributions and support for candidates running for state and local offices. HRT has assisted candidates from statewide office all the way down the ballot to school board.
