Going forward, new blog postings published after June 15, 2024, will be shown here.

Forgive and Forget
These are words that we live by as people of Faith. But these are words that too many of us forget to live by politically. Forgiving and forgetting should be at the foremost of our minds today, after suffering through the impeachment trial of Attorney General Ken Paxton. Our Dallas County Republican Party Executive Committee condemned the State House impeachment procedure – for good reason. Impeachment should be an extreme remedy and not tossed around lightly as we have seen too often as of late. To push an impeachment through a legislative body in a few hours at the end of a long legislative session on the heels of criticism of the House Speaker’s sobriety on the floor does not seem to me to be prudent. Let’s be honest, it just looks like retaliation.
Now we move on. As Republicans protecting the great State of Texas, we must unite and move on. We cannot allow Democrats, the media, and even ourselves to get in the way of uniting all conservatives across our county, state and country.

Texas SB14 Passes In Texas House
What a huge success for Texas children! Republican Party Legislative Priority "Ban Gender Modification" in the form of SB 14 passes the House 87- 56 in spite of huge protests in the House Gallery, which delayed it twice. Friday, May 12, 2023. This day should be respected as the day on which an extremely courageous Democrat, Shawn Thierry stood up for children all over Texas and stood strong against the horrors of surgically or medically mutilating children who do not have the developed maturity to make decisions of this nature.

We constantly hear cries that the Democrats are always united and Republicans are seen as bickering. In some ways that is true. It is nothing new and has been going on for many years. You have all heard me say “The best thing about Republicans is that they are each fiercely independent, and the worst thing about Republicans is that they are each fiercely independent.” On this we can probably all agree. But, as we embark on what is likely to be a lively Republican Presidential Primary, we need to reflect on why, at the end of the day, we must be united. And, that is to preserve our Republic, freedom and the American culture. We, as Republicans are in a fight to preserve our way of life in our country.

All Americans Must Stand!
This blog is not a Republican blog. It is not a conservative blog. It is an American blog. The weaponization of the legal system to advance any political agenda, let alone a radical political agenda, is not just political persecution – it is un-American. Those who hate President Trump, hate American values. They hate you, and they hate me. They hate patriotism – and they do not care whether you are Republican, Democrat or Independent. They have an agenda.

For the first time ever the Dallas County Republican Party is openly committed to Local Elections for Municipal and School Board races. It all begins at the local level! We've gathered a core group of candidates all across Dallas County for which we are proudly supporting to reverse the liberal stranglehold on the City of Dallas and surrounding Dallas County.
This is not a one-election miracle enfolding, but a focused effort to make a difference over however long it takes. We choose to stand and fight! Our website DallasGOP now reaches over 50,000 new Republicans every month to get the latest information to Dallas County and to educate our voters on upcoming elections, events, training, candidates, precinct chairs and getting out the vote. It all depends on YOU! Please VOTE during the May 6 Election.

Every Vote Counts - Don't Waste Yours
We have all heard the saying: “Every Vote Counts.” And, it could not be more true than in local municipal and school board elections. Why? Because very few people vote, making your vote even more powerful. In the last municipal election cycle throughout Dallas County, less than 7% of the registered voters actually voted. LESS THAN 7%! While that does not seem possible, it is the reality. And of those who voted, Democrats show up on a much larger scale than Republicans.
Given the critical importance of local elections, it is very hard to understand the apathy of any voters, let alone conservative voters. The decisions of our City Council, particularly in our weak Mayor system, affect our daily lives more than many of the national issues we hear about in the media. In fact, many of the landmark federal policies in this country have emanated from the local level.
We must be active at the local level to hold out elected officials accountable, stop policies we do not agree with, and create the change that we want not only at home, but throughout the country.

The Frontline in the Fight for Honest Elections
It is that time, again. We are recruiting Election Judges for 2023.
Yes, for the upcoming May 6th Local Election but also to become “appointed judges” through Dallas County Commissioners Court later this summer; something we do every two years. This cycle is important because it set the roster of anointed judges that will be in place for the 2024 Primary and General Election.
Good, trained, and strong Election Judges, both Presiding Judges and Alternate Judges are the "first team" in holding fair and transparent elections in Dallas County. They are the bulwark against malfeasance in the way elections are conducted. They are our frontline and a critical part of the conduct of all elections.
