When Republican primary voters head to the polls, they won't just have the opportunity to vote for candidates. There will also be 10 ballot propositions, approved last month by the State Republican Executive Committee.
Voters will be asked to vote “Yes” to agree with each proposition, or “No” to disagree.
The outcome of these propositions will be used to help guide the party’s legislative priorities and party platform.
The following are the ballot propositions: Border Security
“In light of the federal government’s refusal to defend the southern border, Texas should immediately deploy the National Guard, Texas Military Forces, and necessary state law enforcement to seal the border, enforce immigration laws, and deport illegal aliens.”
Eliminate Property Tax“Texas should eliminate all property taxes within ten (10) years without implementing a state income tax.”
Vaccine Mandate“Texans should not lose their job nor students be penalized for declining a COVID-19 vaccine.”
Parents’ Rights and Critical Race Theory“Texas schools should teach students basic knowledge and American exceptionalism and reject Critical Race Theory and other curricula that promote Marxist doctrine and encourage division based on creed, race, or economic status.”
Right to Life“Texas should enact a State Constitutional Amendment to defend the sanctity of innocent human life, created in the image of God, from fertilization until natural death.”
Committee Chairs“The Republican-controlled Texas Legislature should end the practice of awarding committee chairmanships to Democrats.”
Election Integrity“Texas should protect the integrity of our elections by verifying that registered voters are American citizens, restoring felony penalties and enacting civil penalties for vote fraud, and fighting any federal takeover of state elections.”
Gender Modification“Texas should ban chemical castration, puberty blockers, cross-sex hormones, and genital mutilation surgery on all minor children for sex transition purposes.”
Parental Educational Relief“Texas parents and guardians should have the right to select schools, whether public or private, for their children, and the funding should follow the student.”
Freedom of Conscience“Texans affirm that our freedoms come from God and that the government should have no control over the conscience of individuals.”
Early voting in the primary election begins on February 14. Election Day is March 1.
