In a vote of 36-25 by the State Republican Executive Committee (SREC) Saturday, Adams was elected to succeed Tina Benkiser, who stepped down as chairman Oct 5th. The vote took place at a special called meeting of the SREC, at the party's headquarters in Austin.

Cathie Adams comes to the party from a long career supporting the conservative cause in Texas, as an election judge, a member of the district, state and national resolutions/platform committees; a Delegate to every senatorial and state convention since 1988; and a Delegate to the 1992, 1996, 2000, 2004 and 2008 Republican National Conventions.

At the 2008 State Convention, Cathie was elected as the Republican National Committeewoman for Texas. Adams has also served as president of the Texas Eagle Forum for 16 years. Please join us in congratulating Melinda Fredericks and Mary Yoly Moore, both of whom ran strong campaigns for RPT chairman, and please join us in giving Cathie a warm welcome as the party's new chairman
