Good morning, 

Here is the Texas Minute for Monday, August 22, 2022.

– Brandon Waltens 

• The Texas Conservative Leader Awards honor the real leaders in our republic: the citizens.
   

• The dinner recognizes the men and women of the Texas who have stood up and stepped out by demonstrating real leadership in their neighborhoods and communities.

• Unlike other organizations, we don’t present awards to politicians. Only grassroots activists. 

• The Conservative Leader Awards is an event for you and your fellow liberty-loving Texans to be encouraged, connect with friends, and share in some fellowship with people who love the Lone Star State as much as you do.

• Nominations are currently open for award recipients. Use the form on our website to nominate a citizen-leader from your neighborhood or community.

• The 2022 Conservative Leader Awards will be held on Saturday, December 3, at the Irving Convention Center.
   
• Tickets to the event are also available now at an early bird discount!
   
• See the names of previous honorees below:
