Taylor announces candidacy for Liberty County Republican Party chair

Just ahead of the deadline for candidates to file paperwork for office across the state, Daisetta City Councilman Ryan Taylor has announced his candidacy for Liberty County Republican Party chair.

Taylor, an advocate of strong public service, hopes to bring that focus to the forefront of the local Republican Party and encourage more citizens — particularly those who believe in America First conservative principles — to get involved.

“Public service to me is about supporting the community and all of the people in it. What can we do for our fellow citizens,” Taylor said.

Taylor said growth within the Republican Party, especially at the local level, is now more important than ever. He hopes to foster participation in the party and its activities.

“This is a big moment for Republicans to continue to establish conservative values across the country, and we need to have leadership that will bring local people to the table at a grassroots level,” Taylor said.

If elected chair, Taylor aims to increase the number of precinct chairs and build a stronger network for conservative voices across Liberty County.

“I want to stress that we need growth in our party. Yes, we are a Republican county, but we have lower voter turnouts, and we have low participation in the party,” Taylor said.

Taylor is in his second term as a Daisetta city councilman, represents a broader section of the community through the Texas Municipal League, serves on the board of directors for the Brazos Transit Authority, and is involved in the organization RunGenZ. Professionally, he works as a firefighter and EMT in Lumberton.

He said he looks forward to meeting with voters and hearing from conservatives from across the county.

“I would truly appreciate your vote this March, as we work to make great things happen for the Liberty County Republican Party,” Taylor said.
