Dickey told [[Breitbart]] editor Matt Boyle that Texas "will require all hands on deck to ensure a Trump victory there in the 2020 presidential election. Without our thirty-eight electoral votes, no Republican candidate has a path to victory for the foreseeable future. That is why we are asking for the support of people around the country. We need the financial support, but we need the team, we need you on record to show you support this presidency."<ref>{{cite web|url=https://www.breitbart.com/politics/2019/04/28/texas-gop-chair-warns-state-requires-all-hands-deck-ensure-trump-2020-victory/|title=Texas GOP chair warns state requires all hands on deck to ensure Trump 2020 victory|publisher=[[Breitbart]]|author=Michael Patrick Leahy|accessdate=April 28, 2019}}</ref>

Dickey will face a challenge to hold on to the chairmanship. [[Allen West]], a conservative [[African-American]] former [[U.S. Representative]] from [[Florida]], announced in the summer of 2019 that he would seek the chairmanship at the state convention in 2020.
Dickey lost his chairmanship on July 20, 2020, when the [[African-American]] [[conservative]] [[Allen West]] won a considerable majority among delegates to the state senatorial conventions.
