With the @TexasGOP and @texasdemocrats having their nominees, & @LPTexas having had their convention last month, most of the field for November is set. https://t.co/kQRPLHaSoV remains a place to do research on candidates looking to represent YOU so you can be an informed voter.

@bradj_TX Good thing that https://t.co/AtqaqAydMH has complete lists of Statewide, Congressional and Texas Legislature candidates. #txlege

A thank you to Independent Candidate for Governor Jenn Mack Raphoon (@IamtheGlitch_TX ) for introducing herself to me at a pre-convention gathering in Houston.

Her candidate information is now on https://t.co/kQRPLHaSoV as she works to qualify for the November election.

Congratulations to State Senator Brian Birdwell on his swearing-in as Assistant Secretary of Defense for Sustainment.

Senator Birdwell has spent a lifetime serving this country with courage, conviction, and humility - from the battlefield, to the Pentagon, to the Texas Senate. As a survivor of the 9/11 attack on the Pentagon, he understands firsthand what is at stake when it comes to protecting this nation and preserving the freedoms we hold dear.

Texas Republicans are grateful for his years of faithful service to the people of Texas, and while he will be greatly missed in the Senate, we know he will continue serving our country with the same integrity, strength, and steady leadership that have defined his career.

Please join us in congratulating Senator Birdwell and praying for him, his family, and all those who serve our nation.

@SenatorBirdwell

Ken Paxton’s opening campaign ad just ended James Talarico. I can’t believe Democrats nominated this dude. Jasmine Crockett would have been a much tougher opponent.

[Texas GOP @TexasGOP]

The Republican Party of Texas is proud to welcome Convention of States as a sponsor of the 2026 Texas GOP Convention.

Convention of States has built a nationwide grassroots movement focused on empowering states, restoring constitutional limits, and giving citizens a stronger voice in the future of our country.

We appreciate their support as thousands of Republicans from across Texas gather in Houston to shape the future of our party and our state.

Power, once granted, is seldom surrendered without demand.

[Michael Deffendall @MikeDeffendall]

@RickGreenTX Yes @RickGreenTX you are definitely prominent.

[Jonathan Richie @JRichieTX]

Lt. Gov. Patrick at @TPPF event challenges @JohnCornyn and @KenPaxtonTX to commit to endorsing the other after the runoff.

"We must after this election unite for whoever wins that Senate race," Patrick says, saying that if they don't "we lose the Senate seat." #txlege

🚨 NEW REPORT 🚨

Taxpayer-funded lobbying in Texas hit as much as $111.5 MILLION during the 89th Legislature, more than doubling since the 85th Legislature.

The government shouldn’t lobby itself with your money. It's time we end the weaponization of our tax dollars.

@lukemaciastx @TexasGOP Great talk about how to impact #txlege bills. Always know there are 1000 ways to kill a bill. Only 1 way to pass it.

[Rick Green @RickGreenTX]

Congress will NEVER rein itself in. This will only be done through the tool unanimously adopted by the Founding Fathers at the Constitutional Convention in 1787... An Article V Convention of States. Get in the game we can win.. https://t.co/teUdGeq7B4

[Michael Deffendall @MikeDeffendall]

@MQSullivan @JohnCornyn Actually, his post was accurate. His priorities do dove perfectly with TML. Bigger government control.
