This report was presented at the June meeting of the County Executive Committee (CEC).
I have been totally unplugged on vacation for most of the month of May. It was great, but I am ready to get back into the game. Our battle is far from over as there is much work to do.
As I plugged back into the news, I found out the Democrats are planning to get tougher and meaner as they “start” bullying Trump. Wow, seemed like I was still on vacation in a fantasy world. However, as much as I want to laugh at their antics; make no mistake, this is a fight against evil.
The Left seeks to destroy our youth with gender confusion, and pollute their minds with anti-Semitic propaganda. Abortion is still occurring in our country as our youth are lied to and told that fetuses are not humans but blobs of cells.
Armor of God Prayer Event This Thursday
The ancient evil has always used confusions and lies to further their agenda. I say all of that to remind each of you of the importance of our Armor of God Prayer Event on Thursday, June 5. It is the first step as we prepare for battle in the 2026 primaries. At Grace Woodlands Church at 6:30pm on Thursday, we will pray for spiritual cover. This will be the 3rd Annual Armor of God Prayer Event. It is important to start the season off in the right spirit.
Candidates in Upcoming Elections
Dale and I will be at the State Republican Executive Committee (SREC) meeting on June 13th and 14th in Austin. This is my 3rd term and I have never known of so many declaring themselves as candidates for positions all over the state. The vast majority of those I know about will, if elected, move our state to the right.
Locally, we will have very full lists of candidates for positions on our ballots. Many are stepping forward to run. It will be up to us in the room to make sure the most conservative candidates will be elected. We need elected officials who will forward the Republican agenda and not grant power to Democrats. I repeat, it is up to us to wisely chose our elected officials.
List of Election Judges
The big objective I have this month is to get our list of election judges to the Commissioner’s Court. As most of you know, each of you as Precinct Chairs are asked to serve as the judge in your precinct. If you are not going to be the judge, you need to furnish a substitute who will serve in your place. We need to finalize these lists in the next week or so to allow us to send the lists to the Commissioner’s Court in a timely manner. I appreciate your assistance on this project.
I also appreciate all that each of you do as Precinct Chairs. You are the cornerstone of the foundation of the Republican Party and your efforts are the basis for our success.
