LSL08- Interview with Melinda Preston Part 1 - Lone Star Ladies

In this episode of Lone Star Ladies, co-hosts Sheree Rose and Brandie Kennedy are joined by two powerhouse guests—Angela Hudson, newly appointed Executive Director of the Denton County Republican Party (DCRP), and Melinda Preston, DCRP Chair and community leader. (Co-host Darlene Howell is on vacation this week.)


Broadcasting from the Denton County Republican Party headquarters, the Ladies take listeners on a behind-the-scenes look at how the local GOP operates—how precinct chairs, volunteers, and young conservatives are mobilizing to defend Texas values and expand Republican engagement across Denton County.


Angela shares insights about her new role and the day-to-day work of coordinating events, managing volunteers, and supporting precinct leaders. Melinda opens up about her journey into politics, driven by faith and family, and outlines her vision to bring more youth and families into the movement—building strong connections through local events like the Conservative Cup and Meet, Mix, & Mingle gatherings.


The Ladies and their guests also discuss the November Constitutional Amendment Election and why participation is critical. Sheree provides important voting dates and locations for her precinct and nearby areas:

The episode closes with an inspiring look at DCRP’s mission to support faith-based leadership, mobilize volunteers, and prepare for the 2026 election cycle—because, as Melinda reminds listeners, “We need believers and conservatives in every seat.”
