I’ve just returned from the NFRW Biennial Convention in Orlando, and what an amazing convention it was! The resort was beautiful, the speakers were outstanding, and our delegation demonstrated the genuine friendliness and Texas charm you would expect from southern ladies. I sat on a panel in the Membership workshop where I shared recruitment ideas and was positively mobbed with questions and requests at the end of the presentation. Other states are thirsty for tools and knowledge and desperately want...

Congratulations! Last month, we broke so many records it was like Christmas in July! As President Biden recklessly tears down the very foundation that America was built on and his policies cause inflation to rise unchecked, TFRW’s membership is growing at an astounding rate. Regular people who have never had any interest in politics, feel compelled to “Do Something,” and are joining our ranks.

Happy Independence Day! There is nothing more American than fireworks and family cookouts. At my house, we like big steaks, Grammy’s apple pie and traditional sides like potato salad, and political discussion.

If you’re the kind of leader who follows the True North principles of conservatism and...

Is it just me, or did April absolutely fly by? Texas’ 87th legislative session has heated up with a myriad of bills being voted out of committee and into calendars for scheduling. Testimony on some bills has lasted until well after midnight. It has been a flurry of activity at our Capitol and a veritable roller coaster ride for yours truly as I work with our elected leaders to implement better laws for Texas families. Without a doubt, my best...

April has always been one of my two favorite months. Not because it makes my birthstone a diamond—although that does a lot to commend it—but because it seems to be the month of “renewal.” April rains wash away the grime that builds up over the winter, gives new life to budding flowers and trees, and even freshens and removes pollutants from the air. Everyone goes outside and begins socializing on playgrounds, bike trails, and at barbecues again. And for me, the...
