Woman of Distinction – June 2026
Kristi Antonick is a woman who is comfortable in any arena. Whether she is on horseback or on stage with a U.S. Senator, she is intensely dedicated to tackling big challenges. Like Roosevelt’s “man in the arena,” Kristi knows how to get dusty and dirty and even understands what is like to be a little bloody and marred by the work at hand. Her sense of responsibility to reach the original ideals of America motivates her to stay in the...
President’s Pen – June 2026
The Primary has finally come to an end. To be honest, in my 30 years of Texas politics, this was one of the hardest and ugliest Primaries ever. Not everyone’s candidate of choice won. That is the nature of politics, someone must lose. Wounds are deep and relationships have been fractured. However, I encourage you to be an example. It is time to put the Primary behind us and move on in a positive direction. We cannot lose sight of...
Woman of Distinction – May 2026
Jessica Hart Steinmann is a proud wife, mother of two young boys, and conservative leader who has dedicated her career to serving Texas and defending the values that make our state strong. Last month, Jessica won the Republican primary election for Texas’ 8th Congressional District with 70% of the vote, despite facing a self-funded opponent who spent more than $2.5 million against her. As she heads into the general election, Jessica is poised to become only the 5th Republican woman...
President’s Pen – May 2026
Memorial Day, for many, marks the beginning of summer. The first day to go out to the pool, head to the lake, have a Monday off and grill a few hot dogs. But in truth, Memorial Day is a day dedicated to honoring our military personnel who died in service.
Veterans have a special place in my heart. For many years I have said I couldn’t “play politics” without the sacrifice of our Veterans and those who paid the ultimate price...
President’s Pen – April 2026
Thank you to everyone who worked this Primary Election season. Whether you worked for a candidate, the Party, or as an election worker, your hard work and dedication are the reason why our country and state remain great!
Now we turn toward the Primary Run-off Elections in May. Remember to vote! Even if your candidate didn’t make the run-off, we still need to support the best candidate to beat the Democrats in November. There is a Democrat in EVERY race for...
President’s Pen – March 2026
We are finally getting close to the end of what I call the “Silly Season.” Why do I call it that? Well somehow, we get so wrapped up in campaigns and who we are supporting that we all get “silly.” Don’t get me wrong, Primaries are an important part of the election process, but we forget who we are — Republican sisters.
This primary season saw some ugly remarks and statements said about TFRW and our members. Please don’t forget who...
