Dear Friends,
I firmly believe the American right to vote is the thread that weaves together our entire governmental system. It’s foundational to our country and must be upheld to every degree. Which is why, earlier today, I officially announced that on my first day in office, I will seek to create an “Election Integrity Officer” position within Tarrant County who would be responsible for overseeing election processes.
This position would be selected by a committee including the Sheriff, the County Judge, and a designated County Commissioner as voted on by the full Commissioners Court. The Election Integrity Officer will also seek to find and uncover election fraud. Any election fraud discovered by the Election Integrity Officer would be reported to the Sheriff and the District Attorney and prosecuted as the DA sees fit.
After an alarming number of voter fraud claims and newly registered voters in the 2020 election, as well as the large influx of mail-in ballots affecting the Presidential election in Tarrant County, I believe installing the position is critical in ensuring a true and fair vote for everyone in future elections.
As a leader of Tarrant County, I will not tolerate any illegality when it comes to voter fraud or ballot harvesting. We need to take every precaution when it comes to election integrity because guarding the security of our ballot box and guaranteeing the legitimacy of our elections is fundamental to preserving a free society.
