Be inspired, True Texans!

What a week! Can you believe all this?  Check it out...

• Our Tarrant activists spoke up and got the community college board to agree to NOT raise our taxes. Wha???
• Our Beaumont and Bexar teams refused to back down to protestors. In fact, our Beaumont Director, Shiloh Platts, made the local news when a whopping FOUR protestors invaded in clown costumes. Yes, clown costumes. It left me wondering why they were making fun of... themselves? Well, I guess it IS easily done! 🤣 While the media thought they were giving TTP a negative spin, everything they said resonates with most Texans, and it was a clear win for True Texas Project! 

• We reached the 1/2-way mark on our current fundraising goal. Thank you!
• Fran and I got rave reviews for the first of 4 events on our "donor tour" we're hosting.  
• We released a few more candidate endorsements, and we started our candidate interviews for our podcast.
• We received several sign-ups for our youth training in Harris County.
• We booked the guest of honor for next year's gala. (Not telling who it is yet, but save the date -- April 18, 2026!)
• Two of our Cross Timbers leadership team members signed up to run for school board. We've got several other True Texans already announced.
• We had standing room only for classes on how to handle a hand gun and how to vet candidates.
• Attendance numbers at our meetings are up across the board.

It's a great time to be a True Texan!  Have I mentioned how much I love working with y'all???
