FROM THE CHAIRMAN
________________________________________________________
Last week's SD9 election is over and it's time to evaluate what we've learned with a vision to our future. We know the weather and timing (off cycle, special election) both played a significant role. We also know that we need to ensure that our messages of freedom, transparency, and opportunity are reaching all voters.
Do we want to continue to lower our property taxes? Do we want to ensure election integrity is being pursued? Do we want leaders that will work with the state and federal government to protect our borders and families while working to keep Tarrant County affordable for those families? Our voters have told us that the answer is YES to all of those objectives.
In order to achieve these, each of us must stand up, show up, and speak up to preserve our conservative governance amid the leftist attacks that would seek to destroy all that we hold dear. Get Out The Vote must be our rallying cry and #1 objective.
And speaking of election integrity and transparency, we have just confirmed a full hand-count audit of this last election. All ballots, including absentee ballots, will be hand sorted and counted using Tally/Caller teams of 5 people each. These teams are bi-partisan and consist of members from the Tarrant County Elections Ballot Board. What a great opportunity to identify what’s working—and where we can improve.
I sincerely hope that each of you enjoys the beautiful weather and time spent with your families this weekend. After all, they are the best reason we have to work hard and keep Tarrant County RED!
Chairman Tim Davis
