Texas GOP Vote

For the past two weeks, candidates and volunteers have been working feverishly in the near summer temperatures across Texas getting information to voters to encourage them to get out and vote. Voters have been responding by coming out to the polls during the early voting period.  While most Texans were enjoying the Memorial Day Weekend with trips, bar-b-ques and just relaxing, candidates spent the weekend preparing for the "Main Event" - today's Texas Primary Election!   Read more »

Dear Fellow Voters,

Early Voting has begun in Texas and will run through May 25, with Primary Day being May 29. We have a responsibility to be informed voters and choose the candidate who will best represent our values and interests. From following the 34th Congressional District Race, I have become increasingly weary of candidate Jessica Puente-Bradshaw, who campaigns as the "real conservative" but is up to her neck in DEBT and is beholden to special interests outside of our state.

As part of exploring South Texas Politics, I had the opportunity to visit with outgoing District 43 Texas State Rep. Jose Aliseda in Beeville just before the Bee County Republican Round-Up. Aliseda is a great public servant. He has served the people of Bee County as County Attorney and County Judge. He has also served the people of Texas as a State Representative and a member of the Texas Board of Pardons and Paroles. As he is running unopposed, he will also serve Bee County next year as the new District Attorney.

All this to say, it is no small thing that this servant of the people has endorsed Adela Garza in her race to be the first Congressional Representative for the newly created 34th Congressional District. In the video interview below,

"The Texas Democratic Party is no longer the party of Texas," according to Texas State Rep. J.M. Lozano. "They are the party of San Francisco." These are comments from Texas' newest Republican state legislator during an interview with TexasGOPVote about the changing politics of South Texas.

During the past couple of years, South Texas has been moving more and more to the Republican party as its residents begin to understand the Democrat
