There is not another election until November 3, 2026! (Which could be considered right around the corner, right??)

Last week I was in Houston paricipating in the 2026 RPT State Convention. It was an exhausting week, but an important one. You can read my report here.

My term for precinct chair begins today, June 15! This does not mean there will be any kind of meeting today in which we are all sworn in--that meeting is to be called by the County Chair, and based on my knowledge of the past "organizational meetings," that meeting may not happen until July 30, 2026. Texas Election Code does not give statute for this date, except that it must happen within 45 days after the new terms begin (otherwise 25% of the precinct chairs may call the meeting themselves). At that meeting the Precinct Chairs (PCs) will be sworn in and the new Republican County Executive Committee (CEC) will begin it's business by adopting its bylaws for the next biennium. One of my biggest PC campaign issues was to be a leader in the CEC to move it to be more active in interacting with voters and getting information out regarding candidates and events--the very basis for this website!

And on that note, let's talk about the November election. I hope the general public can see the dangers related to electing James Talarico to the US Senate. He tries to mask his true self, but he is a radical leftist. I've watched him on the Texas House floor misquoting the Bible and twisting scripture to fit his needs. He is fully in line with the socialist left that wants to increase your taxes and give them to people who will abuse them. The job of the US Senator, originally, was to represent their state to the Congress of the United States--they were elected by the state legislators! Since ratification of the 17th amendment, Senators have been elected by the populous and therefore, in my opinion, are just another representative of the people, and able to be bought off by the highest bidder. We need to elect someone who understands states' rights, and I think in this case that is Ken Paxton. Sure, he has some questionable traits, but he also has a STRONG record of challenging the federal government and fighting for Texas and it's time we reward that work and record by sending him to DC to fight for us in the federal legislature.

We also have an important race for state representative. Chris Spencer is the Republican nominee to challenge Sean Huffman. Sean is another one of those socialist types. His website shows he wants to fully fund education. What does that really mean? Let's be real--if we put EVERY tax dollar Texas collected to education, would that be "fully funded?" Or would the education system want more? I'll let you simmer on that idea. Chris Spencer understands how hard we all work to pay those taxes, and he's already been out there learning where we might need to trim some fat and dial in on our government spending. Remember that one of the RPT platform planks is to reduce the size of government--to increase personal responsibility and liberty. I believe Chris Spencer is going to work toward that!

There will be a few other races, such as Texas Governor, where there is a radical leftist running on the Democrat ticket, and also a conservative independent. Rural Texans will need to turn out to vote Republican to overcome the urban vote that will likely go to the Democrats. We have to look at the backbone of the parties to see what each one supports, how (and IF) those candidates will be held accountable, and make our decisions that affect the next four years in Texas, and possibly even further. I personally ask that we all refrain from name-calling when talking to anyone online or in-person--it only offends people and closes them off from open discussion of policy and we need everyone to agree that leftist ideas are not sustainable. And by that, I mean we have to adopt and maintain policies that support life and a happiness therein, such as those policies found in the

Early voting will begin October 19 and end on October 30, 2026. Election day is Tuesday, November 3, 2026. The last day to register to vote or to change your registration is October 5, 2026. BE SURE TO CHECK YOUR REGISTRATION BEFORE THAT DATE. There are malicious people in this world who CAN modify your registration so that you have issues going to vote.
