HOUSTON – The message was clear and concise from Harris County Republicans, “We live in Houston, we don’t want Houston to have a similar situation,” said Cindy Siegel, Chairman of the Republican Party of Harris County.

The sentiments comes one day after the murder of Republican activist Charlie Kirk at his political rally in Orem, Utah.

“It’s a crazy time we live in and if something like that could happen on our college campuses, I mean it’s something that we take very seriously,” said Siegel.
