Lorena Cognac, president of Great State Republicans, announced several upcoming candidate forums for state and local races, including events Jan. 26, Feb. 7, Feb. 11 and a Precinct 2 forum Feb. 12; organizers will provide flyers for county promotion.

Lorena Cognac, who identified herself as president of Great State Republicans, told the Lavaca County Commissioners Court on Jan. 12 about several upcoming candidate forums ahead of primary and midterm elections.

Cognac listed a Jan. 26 forum at the high school cafetorium open to state, local and federal candidates; a Precinct 2 commissioner forum Feb. 12 at Moravia Parish Hall featuring candidates for Precinct 2; and two Yoakum-area Republican women events — Feb. 7 (meet-and-greet 5–6 p.m., forum 6–8 p.m.) and Feb. 11 (11:30 a.m.–1 p.m.) at the Yoakum Community Center.

Cognac said organizers will provide flyers and that the county will promote party-affiliated events on county channels if appropriate. “Thank you, judge and commissioners for letting me speak,” Cognac said on the record. The presiding official asked for flyers to distribute via county channels and the county clerk’s office.

The announcements were presented as community items; the meeting transcript does not record formal county sponsorship beyond offering to publicize party-affiliated forums.
