Corsicana — The Republican Party of Navarro County invites the public to its new headquarters grand opening fromm 6:30 to 7:30 p.m. Thursday, Aug.12, at 111-B West Third Avenue in downtown Corsicana.

Special guests U.S. Rep. Joe Barton (R-Ennis), State Rep. Byron Cook (R-Corsicana), and State Sen. Brian Birdwell (R-Granbury) will perform the honors of the ribbon-cutting ceremony.

“The public is welcome to tour the new offices, have refreshments, and enjoy conservative camaraderie,” said county chairman Frank Steed. Several Republican elected officials and candidates on the November General Election ballot will be available for voters to meet and ask questions.

Scheduled to appear are H.M. Davenport Jr., county judge; Frank Hull, candidate for county treasurer; Joe Hobbs, candidate for district clerk; Dick Martin, candidate for county commissioner, Precinct 2; James Olsen, county commissioner, Precint 4; and Jackie Freeland, candidate for justice of the peace, Precinct 3.

The new Republican headquarters has a storefront window for greater visibility and political signage. It has street level parking and access, with no elevators. Inside, there is plenty of comfortable seating and modern HVAC system. The facility will also be home to the Navarro County Republican Women’s club.

Republicans believe the most effective government is government closest to the people. The individual is at the heart of good government. Each person’s ability, dignity, freedom, and responsibility must be honored and recognized. Free enterprise and individual initiative and incentive — have given this nation an economic system second to none.

However, today our constitutional freedoms are being taken away by the federal government, the party said in a release.

“Voters must stay informed of candidates’ position on the issues in this critical election to take our country back,” said Secretary and Republican National Delegate Steve Jessup.

Griffin retires after three decades teaching

But for Dana Griffin, it will mark the end of his 30-year career teaching ag science at Corsicana High School, the only job he’s had since graduating from college.
Though he is excited about his new horizons, this day will most likely be bittersweet, as 30 years of animals, ag projects, and kids — it’s always been about the kids — draws to a close.
