My opponent and his Beto backers have sunk to a disgusting new low.
While all of Texas mourns the terrorist attack in Austin, they chose today to roll out a vile, lying ad attacking my record.
Letās set the record straight:
1. I stood with Governor Abbott to pass legislation banning Sharia law in Texas, protecting our values and our sovereignty from radical ideologies.
2. I backed President Trump in securing the border and reversing Bidenās catastrophic open-border policies that let terrorists and threats slip through.
Iāve been crystal clear: radical Islamists who threaten our safety have no place here. They should be deported, period.
My opponent lacks the experience and judgment needed to lead. He isnāt qualified for the job, so heās resorting to lies and exploiting a tragedy to try to fool voters.
Texans deserve better.
Reject the lies and sleazy politics.
Mark your calendar. Get out and vote Tuesday.
"As the President of Texas for Life Committee, one of the oldest pro-life organizations in our state, and as an advocate for pro-life laws in the the Texas Capitol for more than three decades, I feel compelled to address recent misleading claims circulating in Texas House District 88, including a video by candidate John Browning holding a mailer falsely asserting that Rep. Ken King is 'not pro-life.'
These accusations are completely false.
Rep. Ken King has a strong and consistent pro-life voting record. He voted YES on Senate Bill 8 (the Texas Heartbeat Act) in 2021, which banned abortions after the baby's heartbeat is detectable, leading to a 45%-50% drop in abortions.
Ken King supported and voted for the Human Life Protection Act, the landmark pro-life legislation to completely protect unborn babies from abortion beginning at conception. Following the overturning of Roe v. Wade in 2022, which allowed that law to go into effect, reported elective abortions plummeted from thousands each month to zero. He also voted for measures to ban chemical abortion pills.
All of this while Mr. Browning seems unaware that these laws, among the best in the nation, even exist.
This is why Texans for Life Committee Life PAC has proudly endorsed Rep. Ken King for re-election. We need Ken King back in the Capitol. His actions in the Legislature demonstrate he is a rock solid champion for the unborn. He has proven time and again that he stands firmly with the pro-life cause, protecting innocent human life without compromise.
Voters deserve accurate information, not distortions or false mailers designed to mislead. We urge District 88 residents to look at the facts, Rep. Kingās actual record, and our organizationās endorsement when making their decision."

Two years after the Smokehouse Creek Fire, we gathered in Plainview with Speaker Dustin Burrows, Chairman Darby, Chairman Landgraf, Chairman Tepper, firefighters, ranchers, and community leaders to talk about the work thatās been done , and the work still ahead.
The Smokehouse Creek Fire burned more than 1 million acres, destroyed over 100 homes and businesses, left 11,000 without power, and killed 15,000 cattle. It was the largest wildfire in Texas history.
We were given a mandate: make sure it never happens like that again.
Hereās what we did:
ā½ļøWiped out a $200 million, 14-year backlog in volunteer fire department grants
ā½ļøIncreased annual volunteer fire funding from $22 million to $50 million
ā½ļøPassed SB 34 creating a statewide equipment database so departments can share resources instantly
ā½ļøRequired annual pole inspections and reporting to the Public Utility Commission
ā½ļøCreated wildfire mitigation plans for utilities
ā½ļøFunded rural ambulances
ā½ļøAppropriated $257 million for firefighting aircraft and equipment
Last week, when extreme fire conditions returned, the difference was clear. Fires were contained. Aerial resources were pre-positioned. Communication between the Texas Forest Service and local responders improved tenfold.
That is the result of hard work by the West Texas delegation.
I want to thank Speaker Burrows for his leadership and for making interoperability and disaster preparedness a priority going forward. Iām grateful to Chairman Darby and every member of our delegation who stood shoulder to shoulder with me on this.
And most importantly, thank you to our volunteer firefighters. You asked for help. We delivered.
Weāre not finished. Interoperability between state and local responders must improve even further. Infrastructure maintenance must continue. Utilities must be held accountable for public safety.
I wonāt stop this work until we deliver on these promises.
President Trump and Governor Abbott have endorsed the ONE TRUE CONSERVATIVE in this race - KEN KING
This is State Rep. Ken King, reminding you to vote in the Republican Primary.
As your Representative, Iāve fought for our conservative values:
ā Banned gender modification for ALL children
ā Put prayer and the Ten Commandments back in schools
ā Kept boys out of girls sports
ā Kept men out of womenās restrooms
ā Banned foreign ownership of Texas land
ā Put a stop to Sharia law
ā Declared drug cartels as terrorists
ā Passed the largest tax cut in Texas history
Conservative leaders like President Trump, Senator Cruz and Governor Abbott have endorsed me because they know Iāll always fight to defend our Faith and religious freedoms.
Early voting starts today and Iād be honored to have your vote.
When tragedy struck the Texas Panhandle, I got to work:
ā Passed laws that fully funded our volunteer fire departments
ā Allowed small departments to borrow and share resources
ā Cleared a $200M, 14-year backlog to pay for essential firefighting equipment
We can never predict wildfires, but West Texas is better prepared to save lives and property.
Iāve lived here my whole life and work every day to protect you. Vote early, starting February 17.
What a blessing itās been to travel to each county of this incredible district in just the last 30 days. So much more to see and experience, but this I can tell you: the people of TX-19 are true patriots. They want to see our region, and our nation, soar to new heights. They want to see America put FIRST! Iāll never quit fighting for this land that we love. Grateful, and so honored, for the privilege of being in this race. Letās keep it rolling! Go WTX!
Iām Tom Sell - an America First conservative, rancher, businessman, and 5th generation West Texan. My campaign for TX-19 is fueled by the deep love I have for my family and for our region. Iām proud of the race we are running: fighting for West Texas - fighting for YOU!
Letās make common-sense common again. Iām ready to work alongside @POTUS to keep our borders secure, fight for our farm and ranch families, and to create a better future for generations to come.
Weāve got another great week on the road planned. See you out there.
As a West Texan, husband, father, Christian, and America First conservative, I am eager to take the fight for our West Texas values all the way to the halls of Congress. We can - and must - Make America Great Again. Our future depends on it.Ā Ā Ā Ā Ā Ā Ā Ā Ā Ā Ā Ā Ā Ā Ā Ā Ā Ā Ā Ā Ā Ā Ā Ā Ā Ā Ā Ā Ā Ā Ā Ā Ā Ā Ā Ā Ā Ā Ā Ā Ā Ā Ā Ā Ā Ā Ā Ā Ā Ā Ā Ā
Iām excited to be hitting the road again this week as we continue our mission to visit all 33 counties of beautiful TX-19 in 30 days, because we are laser focused on what matters most in this campaign: you.
Look forward to seeing you out there.
