Four Steps to Electing Strong Conservatives in the 2026 Primary

 
 

September 24, 2025 | Montgomery County, TX

The March 2026 Primary Election is an opportunity for voters to elect strong Conservatives by first doing our research and then supporting candidates who will support our values.

We can no longer elect the person with the most appealing commercials or vote for those listed on a voter guide received in the parking lot of our polling locations without first understanding the goals of the organization who printed the voter guide.

RINOs/Uni-Party vs. Conservatives Comparison

By following the steps below, we as voters can spread conservative Texas values across Montgomery County. It is the mission of the Montgomery County Republican Party to encourage voter participation in all elections and to provide voters with the information they need to make informed decisions at the polls.

 

1. Research the Candidates

The Primary Election is the time when political parties choose who will represent them on the General Election ballot. We want voters to choose true Conservative Republicans instead of Republicans in Name Only (RINOs) or “Uniparty” candidates. Now is the time to become familiar with your current elected officials, evaluate their job performance, and decide if you want to re-hire them for another term.

Look up how your Texas legislators voted on issues important to you:

  • Did your elected lawmakers fulfill their promises to you, the voter? How did they vote regarding the Legislative Priorities of the Republican Party?

  • Visit Your State Legislators to look up how your Texas legislators voted on key bills and review report cards from conservative organizations.

Attend Grassroots Events:

There are several local conservative organizations that research candidates and can help you make informed decisions in local elections. Attending meetings of these groups can make you a more informed voter. Some of these groups vet candidates and publish trustworthy voter guides, and others offer candidate forums so you can hear directly from candidates prior to the election.

“Politics ought to be the part-time profession of every citizen who would protect the rights and privileges of free people and who would preserve what is good and fruitful in our national heritage.”

President Dwight Eisenhower

 

Attend Local Boards & Government Meetings:

Staying apprised of what’s happening at the local government level is often overlooked by voters, but is key to taking back our country.

Non-partisan boards such as school boards and city councils determine about 90 percent of your taxes. If you are not paying close attention to what they are doing, you will pay the price.

Leftist activists are showing up to school board meetings, but fewer Christian Conservatives speak out at these meetings. We need to wake the "sleeping giant” and get involved!

2. Understand Voter Guides

Every election cycle we have groups such as the “Texas Conservative Tea Party Coalition,” aka the Fake Tea Party, the condemned “Republican Voters of Texas PAC,” and the “Montgomery County Republican Club PAC.” These groups attempt to blur the lines between their organizations and the actual Republican Party in an effort to deceive voters into voting for their preferred candidates. Some of these organizations are “pay-to-play,” meaning the candidates are paying to be listed on their voter guides as part of their campaigns.

Where to find trustworthy Conservative Voter Guides

Your neighbors need to know how to research candidates and where to find trustworthy voter guides. Send people to our website at mctxgop.org and encourage them to attend our meetings and local grassroots organizations. You are key to helping your neighbors make educated decisions at the polls!

 

3. Recruit People To “Get Out the Vote” and Run for Office

All concerned citizens are needed to keep Texas free and save America. From block-walking to serving as an election worker or helping on a committee, we’re always in need of patriots willing to stand up for conservative values by getting out the vote or running for office. Please join us to get true Conservative Republicans elected. Contact us if you have questions about how to help or run for office.

Evaluate candidates who are running for office. Look at the list of issues they stand for, analyze their voting record if they are an incumbent, read news articles, and attend their campaign events. If the candidate is challenging an incumbent, look for examples of how they have championed grassroots issues and Republican principles. Get behind those candidates who are truly going to put Texans first. Volunteer for their campaign or donate. If we’re going to make lasting change, we must replace establishment politicians with true, Texas-First leaders. This takes effort not just on the part of the person running for office, but on those of us who care about our state and nation and want to see change.

Supporting events like the Drive the Vote Golf Tournament allows the Montgomery County Republican Party to send mailers, text messages, and other forms of advertising to educate voters and encourage them to vote their conservative values. Your participation or sponsorship makes a huge difference in how many people we can reach during the Primary Election.

 

4. Hold Elected Officials Accountable

Once we elect strong Conservatives, it’s important to hold them accountable to the promises they made during their campaigns. Stay involved and follow the decisions they make in office. Join their email lists, attend local meetings, and follow bills (see the techniques listed in #1 above). Contact them or visit their offices to let them know your thoughts on issues. We the People have been asleep on the job for too long. It’s time to get involved and take back America.

Our elected officials are under constant and relentless attack. As Christians, we must cover them in prayer to help ensure that they are wearing the full armor of God. We are committed to interceding daily on their behalf and invite you to pray with us for our elected officials.
