Welcome to the website of Modern WHIG PARTY

Welcome to the official site of the Modern Whig Party of Texas!

We are the Texas chapter of the fastest growing, moderate political party in the United States .

As one of the original political parties in America , our historic roots include four members elected President and also the original party of Abraham Lincoln.

The Modern Whig Party is not a run-of-the-mill third party, but instead seeks to regain its position as a powerful, mainstream advocate for such issues as fiscal responsibility, strong national defense and bold social progression.

Originally revitalized as an organization for military veterans and supporters, the Modern Whig Party is quickly gaining a diverse following that continues to add thousands of members each month. With its mainstream approach and bold, common sense ideals, the Modern Whig Party truly is for the rest of us.

Modern Whig Party of Texas Meeting June 13th in Canyon Lake, Texas sanjacinto

Results of Canyon Lake Meeting

It was great meeting fellow Whigs in Canyon Lake. The big news to come out of the meeting is that we approved a resolution organizing as a political party and approved the state rules, which we will be filing with the Secretary of State this week. Afterwards, we will be an official political party here in Texas.

There were two changes to the proposed rules which had been posted on the state web site. First, wording of the principles of the party now includes a reference to fiscal responsibility. Second, elections of officers will use the method of Instant Runoff Voting.

Welcome and congratulations to our new Vice Chairman, Shawn Hodge, from Canyon, Texas. He is a college student who will be concentrating on promoting the Modern Whig Party at college campuses.

There are also some changes in County Chairs to acknowledge. We welcome the new Chairman of Hopkins County, Jordan Horne. Also, we will have a new Chairman in Harris County, Austin Van Stean. Because the Chairs of El Paso and San Antonio are both moving out of state, those two county chair positions are open. Shawn Hodge will also be serving as Chairman of Randall County.

Discussed were plans for next year, as we must start preparing for our first County Conventions, in March 2010, and our first State Convention in June 2010.

We also discussed the activities of Modern Whigs nationwide, including a candidate for the New Jersey Legislature this November, and a Congressional candidate for Congress in Florida in 2010. The Modern Whig Party of Texas is looking forward to supporting these Modern Whigs in their runs for office.
