Texas State Senator District 10 - Conservative Republican

[Dan Patrick @DanPatrick]

Today, I was in Washington, D.C., to present President @realDonaldTrump with the Religious Liberty Commission's report and our recommendations.

Over the past year, our Commission held seven hearings and heard testimony from over 100 witnesses from education, the military, healthcare, the private sector, and government. They shared firsthand accounts of how their religious liberty had been violated. Many have already won their cases before the Supreme Court, while others are still fighting in the courts.

Based on the testimony we heard and the Commission's findings, it became clear time and again that Americans' religious freedoms were being denied based on the fictitious claim that the "separation of church and state" is found in the Constitution. As a result, we presented President Trump with 12 recommendations to strengthen and restore religious liberty in America.

The Republican Party of Texas is proud to recognize Senator Phil King for his support as a sponsor of our 2026 State Convention.

A longtime conservative leader in the Texas Legislature, Senator King has spent decades fighting for constitutional liberties, border security, religious freedom, and the conservative principles that Texans hold dear. Before serving in the Texas Senate, he represented Parker and Wise Counties in the Texas House for more than two decades and earned a reputation as a principled and effective conservative voice.  

A former police officer, attorney, and small business owner, Senator King continues to play a major leadership role in the Legislature through his work on issues impacting public safety, economic growth, education, and protecting Texas sovereignty.  

We are grateful for his continued support of the Republican Party of Texas and his investment in the grassroots delegates who help shape the future of our state.

Thank you, Senator King, for stepping up and standing strong for Texas.

Following up on my tweet yesterday on how Chip Roy has attempted to rewrite history, claiming to be an ally to President Trump:

One of the President’s top advisors, Alex Bruesewitz, is coming to Texas to campaign with Mayes Middleton tomorrow.

@AlexBruesewitz is a top leader in the MAGA movement, and he knows that @Mayes_Middleton is the only choice for Attorney General. Alex also knows firsthand that Chip Roy is not MAGA.

Alex will set the record straight on how we cannot allow a Liz Cheney-loving, Trump impeachment supporter like Chip Roy as our next Attorney General, a position with the power to undermine the president’s MAGA agenda.

As a close ally of President @realDonaldTrump, I keep a close eye on all things Texas for him. I’ve chaired his Texas campaign three times now.

I’d like to set the record straight: Chip has never been a MAGA warrior, as he now claims.

Here are a few interesting observations I’ve made:

1. Chip said on tape that MAGA voters could kiss his a**
2. Chip campaigned with now-vanquished anti-Trump Congressman Thomas Massie
3. Chip supported anti-Trump Congresswoman Liz Cheney against the President
4. Chip supported President Trump’s impeachment
5. Chip has consistently played hardball with the President. In Congress, he’s held up the MAGA agenda over and over again to serve himself
6. President Trump calls him “3 AM Chip” because Chip would often call, telling the President he can’t support MAGA legislation

I don’t ever like calling someone a liar. It’s a harsh word. I’m certainly not calling Chip Roy a liar.

However, in the last few weeks of the campaign for AG, 𝐂𝐡𝐢𝐩 𝐢𝐬 𝐫𝐞𝐰𝐫𝐢𝐭𝐢𝐧𝐠 𝐩𝐨𝐥𝐢𝐭𝐢𝐜𝐚𝐥 𝐡𝐢𝐬𝐭𝐨𝐫𝐲. Let’s chalk it up to Chip’s failed memory. I simply want to set the record straight.

If you support President Trump, don’t be fooled. Chip is not and has never been for MAGA or for President Trump. Chip is desperate for Trump and Paxton voters’ support and is desperately rewriting history to cover up his actions.

@KenPaxtonTX and I are both MAGA Republicans and true allies of President Trump. 𝐖𝐞 𝐚𝐫𝐞 𝐯𝐨𝐭𝐢𝐧𝐠 𝐟𝐨𝐫 𝐌𝐚𝐲𝐞𝐬 𝐌𝐢𝐝𝐝𝐥𝐞𝐭𝐨𝐧 𝐟𝐨𝐫 𝐀𝐆.

@Mayes_Middleton will work seamlessly with both Ken Paxton and the President. Chip Roy has worked against President Trump and AG Paxton for a decade.

I ask for your vote for Mayes Middleton for Attorney General. Thank you, and God Bless.

Early voting is happening now through Friday, May 22. Election Day is Tuesday, May 26.

[Phil King @PhilKingTX]

I proudly endorse Mayes Middleton for AG, and personally attest to his competency, character and deeply held Christian convictions. I’ve worked closely with Mayes for years in the legislature and he has my complete trust to serve as our next Attorney General.  @mayes_middleton

[Dan Patrick @DanPatrick]

The last time @chiproytx worked in the Texas Attorney General’s office, he was escorted out of the building. AG @KenPaxtonTX gave him a choice: be fired or resign. The reason was his continued insubordination to AG Paxton.

Ken Paxton was recently overheard in an audio clip saying, “I’m going to vote for @mayes_middleton” and that he “could not imagine [Chip Roy] stepping into that role.”

I’m casting my vote for Mayes Middleton, too.

BREAKING NEWS: Today, the U.S. Fifth Court of Appeals rightly upheld SB 10, which I was honored to author in the Texas Senate, affirming our right to display the Ten Commandments in Texas classrooms.  This is a great day for Texas!

[Bloomberg Law @BLaw]

Texas can enforce a law requiring the Ten Commandments be displayed in public classrooms, a divided Fifth Circuit ruled. https://t.co/IjUIbz5q6Q

[Mayes Middleton @mayes_middleton]

Phil King is a strong Christian conservative fighter and a friend. I’ve been proud to work alongside him to pass great conservative victories for Texas!

“I am proud to endorse Senator Mayes Middleton for Attorney General, as I can personally attest to his competency, character and deeply held Christian convictions.  For the last seven years, I’ve worked closely with Mayes both in the House and Senate, and have had the opportunity to get to know him and his family.  Mayes has my complete trust to serve Texas as our next Attorney General.  He’s a principled conservative who will lead the office with honor and distinction.” - Senator @PhilKingTX

[Phil King @PhilKingTX]

Terry and I proudly support Parker County Commissioner Jacob Holt for many reasons, and we humbly ask that you join us in voting to re-elect him.  Read more at the link below.

🚨Texas model bills are a BIG part of the @ALEC_states public policy movement across the country! The American Legislative Exchange Council just adopted 70 new model policies, by state lawmakers across the nation, & 6 of them are “Uncle Paul’s”!

The BIGGEST: Homestead Property Tax Exemptions, being great for taxpayers, because of proven lowered ISD property tax bills, which is helpful for housing affordability, too! This reflects Texas’, Lt. Gov. @DanPatrick, myself, et al. #txlege success from my SB 4 & SB 23. After record voter-approved homestead exemption increases & ISD tax rate cuts in 2023 & 2025, the avg. TX homestead has seen ~$2k/yr in savings, w/even greater relief for seniors. Other states agree: higher homestead exemptions work to lower ISD property tax bills! ✅🇺🇸

Additional adopted policies I authored or co-sponsored address:
• Ballot transparency for tax increases
• Housing affordability
• Election integrity audits
• Expanded virtual learning
• Clearer healthcare mandate oversight

State-led solutions matter like these 6! Credit to the Texas delegation for getting them passed, including Board Members Sen. @PhilKingTX, Rep. @CarolineForTX, ALEC House State Chairs @DennisPaulTexas, Dr. @TomOliverson, plus members of @TXGOPCaucus, @TexasSenateGOP, & Dem members too! Full list 👇

[Dan Patrick @DanPatrick]

Great news to hear the U.S. Supreme Court made the right decision on the 2025 Texas congressional map. We knew all along we did the right thing. It’s going to be great for Texas and America to send 5 new Republicans to Congress! #txlege

[Phil King @PhilKingTX]

Common sense and the rule of law prevails, as SCOTUS upholds Texas’ new congressional map. This provides the opportunity to increase our GOP majority in Congress.

[Brad Johnson @bradj_TX]

New: SCOTUS has granted the State of Texas' application for a stay of the panel's ruling against the new congressional map. Justices Kagan, Sotomayor, Brown-Jackson dissented. #txlege

If you are able, consider making a donation to the Kerr County Flood Relief Fund—or one of the many other outstanding organizations—supporting the ongoing recovery and relief efforts for our fellow Texans impacted by the devastating flooding. https://t.co/jaagQhHkkd

Please continue to pray for the families affected by this tragedy. 𝐖𝐞 𝐚𝐫𝐞 𝐨𝐧𝐞 𝐟𝐚𝐦𝐢𝐥𝐲 𝐢𝐧 𝐓𝐞𝐱𝐚𝐬.

It’s time for Tarrant County GOP Chairman @bofrench to step down. This pattern of reckless, incendiary rhetoric is harmful and does not reflect our party or our values. We can do better, and we must do better.

[Dan Patrick @DanPatrick]

Bo French’s words do not reflect my values nor the values of the Republican Party. Antisemitism and religious bigotry have no place in Texas. I am calling for the immediate resignation and replacement of @bofrench as @tarrantgop Chairman.
