The Sabine County Republican party will have its monthly meeting on Thursday, May 12, at 6:30 p.m. at the Chamber of Commerce office in Hemphill. Featured guest will be Konni Burton. Burton is founder and CEO of The Texan, a statewide news outlet focused on the stories that matter most to Texans and their pocketbook. Previously, she was a grassroots activist who worked on numerous campaigns for local, state and federal races. Konni then went on to run for office and was elected in 2014 to serve Tarrant County’s Senate District 10 in Austin. Her experience as a grassroots activist, elected official, and taxpaying citizen provides a unique and valuable perspective on the political landscape in Texas.
