New to the legislative process? Get up to speed with The Taxpayer’s Guide to the Texas Legislature: The Basics
The best way to influence your representatives is to testify on proposed legislation at committee hearings- if you are unable to attend a hearing, submit your testimony for House Bills online – the Senate does not have this tool and Senator offices must be contacted directly

Priorities
Border Enforcement Repel invasion and deter illegal immigration.
Secure Texas Elections Securing elections from each citizen’s registration to the final count of legal votes.
Stop Sexualizing Texas Kids Stop the sexualization of minors, which leads to abuse, exploitation, and trafficking.
No Democrat Chairs The Republican-controlled Texas Legislature shall end the practice of awarding committee chairmanships to Democrats and require all committees to be majority Republican.
Ban Taxpayer Funded Lobbying Prohibit all forms of taxpayer-funded lobbying, including the use of tax dollars to hire lobbyists and payment of tax dollars to associations that lobby the Legislature.
Secure the Electric Grid Secure the integrity of Texas electricity production and delivery of abundant, reliable, and resilient energy, ensuring that the Texas grid can withstand any natural or manmade threat to include weather, cyber, physical, electromagnetic pulse (EMP) and geomagnetic disturbances (GMD).
Texas is Not for Sale Ban the sale of real property in Texas, and discontinue taxpayer funding and incentives, to governments, entities, and proxies of China, Iran, North Korea, and Russia, and to individuals from these nations who are not legal permanent residents or citizens of the United States.
End Federal Overreach Resisting unconstitutional federal acts and mandates that restrict transportation, including mandatory kill switches in vehicles, road diets, and restrictions on the owner’s right to repair vehicles and equipment. Ensuring that Texans have medical freedom and can give or withhold consent for any vaccine or medical treatment without coercion, are not discriminated against based on vaccine status, and are not faced with any vaccine or medical mandate by public or private entities.
These priorities were chosen by delegates at the state convention, May 23-25, 2024 in San Antonio, Texas.
