Rinaldi has served as chair for nearly three years, overseeing party operations during a time when Texas has lurched further to the right.
Texas GOP Chair Matt Rinaldi won’t run for reelection, he announced Friday afternoon. Rinaldi has been a vocal proponent of that effort, aligning the party closely with far-right activists and disparaging Republicans he saw as too liberal — including embattled Texas House Speaker Dade Phelan.
Texas Republicans say GOP chairman has 'weaponized' the party as internal strife continues But those actions have also angered some Texas Republicans, who say Rinaldi has stoked party divisions and refused to cut ties with GOP activists affiliated with white supremacists. Rinaldi said it is time to step down and “focus on my obligations as a husband to my wife, Corley, and as a father to my six-year-old son, Rush.
‘The game’s not over’: Future of vouchers, Texas House at stake in GOP runoffs Despite overall successful years for the Texas GOP, Rinaldi’s tenure was marked by intraparty fighting and public controversy — and some Republicans say the state party had nothing to do with the party’s victories in the Capitol or at the ballot box.
