President’s Pen – August 2026

President’s Message

Wow! I cannot believe we are just three short months away from the midterm elections! As many of you know, I have been involved for more than 30 years. This is the first time in more than 30 years I have truly felt in my heart, in my bones, and by my experience that we are in trouble. We could lose the Texas House, and if Texas goes – so does America.

Over the years we have said, “This is the most important election in our lifetime,” and each one of them were. We were not lying. They were the most important up to that point. Electing Trump was vital to keeping America, America. However, the November election is not just the most important election of our lifetime, but this is a historic moment-in-time election, one that will determine the direction our state will go for the next 20+ years. Literally, the future of Texas rests on this election. I cannot stress this enough. We have more than 30 incumbent Republican House Members at risk of losing their seats.

But this is our time to shine! TFRW will NOT let our state turn blue! We have developed a robust and comprehensive plan to WIN in November. There is something for everyone! Even if you can’t leave your house, there is something for you to do.

VEP! None of our Get-Out-the-Vote efforts will mean anything if we don’t register voters NOW! We need volunteers and we need to make phone calls. Let’s encourage all our members to get on board. Our goal is to register 150,000 new voters and make one million phone calls.

Days of Action with Coalition Por/For Texas: With the goal of increasing the Hispanic turnout, texting and other event information will be sent out to you once the days of action our announced.

Days of Action for Team Texas with AFP: We picked three strategic areas that are in danger of losing more than one House race or the entire County. Williamson, Tarrant, and Collin Counties need our help, and we must save them from turning blue!

Abbott Impact App: We will be working extensively with this innovative, amazing App. There are going to be club and personal incentives for using the App both from TFRW and Texans for Abbott including money to clubs! We are even going to be able to recruit new members with the App – it will be very unique to us!

TFRW Club Voter Guides: Our PR Chair, Crystle Cloud, has designed a voter guide specific to your club and area.

Information on all these programs are in this newsletter. Please stay up-to-date by reading the newsletters, bullet point memos, emails, and social media to stay informed on upcoming and ongoing projects.

Together I know we will Keep Texas RED! Because after all, we are Where the RED Begins!
