WHEREAS, the Republican Party is the party of the people, representing the wil of millions of Americans who have overwhelmingly shown their support for President Donald J. Trump in the 2024 presidential election, entrusting him with the responsibility to lead the nation once again;

WHEREAS, the success of President Trump’s agenda depends on unwavering loyalty and alignment within Republican leadership in the United States Senate to ensure the priorities of the American people are faithfully carried out;

WHEREAS, Senator John Cornyn has demonstrated a lack of commitment to the party’s leadership by failing to promptly endorse President Trump during the primary process, thereby undermining party unity at a critical juncture;

WHEREAS, the chief strategist for Senator Cornyn publicly referred to President Trump as a “psychopath,” an egregious insult ot the leader of the Republican Party and a betrayal of the principles of respect and loyalty necessary for effective leadership;

WHEREAS, the Republican voters of Clay County, Missouri, and across the nation demand leadership in the Senate that unequivocally supports the Trump agenda and the America First policies endorsed by the electorate;

THEREFORE, BE IT RESOLVED, that the Clay County Republican Central Committee calls upon Senators Josh Hawley and Eric Schmitt to demand an open roll call vote for Senate leadership to ensure transparency and accountability in the selection process;

BE IT FURTHER RESOLVED, that the Clay County Republican Central Committee denounces Senator John Cornyn for his lack of loyalty to President Trump and his failure to represent the will of the Republican voters;

BE IT FURTHER RESOLVED, that the Clay County Republican Central Committee strongly urges Senators Josh Hawley and Eric Schmitt to endorse Senator Rick Scott or Vice-President-Elect J.D. Vance as the next Senate Republican Leader, recognizing their steadfast support for President Trump and commitment to advancing the America First agenda;

BE IT FINALLY RESOLVED, that a copy of this resolution be transmitted to Senators Josh Hawley and Eric Schmitt, members of the Missouri Republican Party, and relevant media outlets to ensure that the voice of Clay County Republicans is heard.

Adopted this 10th day of November 2024, by the Clay County Republican Central Committee.

We the members of the Clay County Republican Central Committee unequivocally state the following: 

Meaningful Initiative Petition Reform must be the immediate and highest priority of the Missouri General Assembly. Missouri is currently one of the most Pro-Life states, with strong statutory protections for unborn children and their mothers. This status must be protected utilizing every legal means available. Pro-abortion organizations, funded and supported by out-of-state resources are actively seeking to undermine this status, including exploiting current Initiative Petition procedures which will undermine the will of Missouri’s citizens.

Contrary to earlier expectations, the Missouri Senate continues to lack the resolve to pass key Republican priorities, like IP Reform. As a result, growing tensions have produced a chamber driven by petty grudges, procedural delays, and scapegoating. The Senate chamber is now in full disarray and currently incapable of conducting the legislative business for which the Senators were elected, and, for which their Republican constituents expect. 

We particularly condemn the actions of Senate Republican leadership which removed State Senators Denny Hoskins, Bill Eigel, Andrew Koenig and Rick Brattin from their committee chairmanships and parking spaces. 

We call on President Pro-Tem Caleb Rowden and Senate Majority Leader Cindy O’Laughlin to immediately accomplish the following: 

• Re-install Senators Hoskins, Eigel, Koenig and Brattin to their rightful chairmanships along with all accompanying privileges. 

• Pass Initiative Petition Reform immediately as the ‘Number One’ legislative priority of the State Senate and General Assembly. 

• Vigorously, unequivocally and immediately pursue the conservative Republican legislative agenda for the remainder of this General Assembly session. 

If these conditions are not expeditiously met, then we the Clay County Republican Central Committee support changes in Republican Senate leadership to include resignation or removal of Senate Pro Tem Caleb Rowden.
