John,

Imagine if the Republicans took control of Congress this January and appointed Nancy Pelosi, AOC and Adam Schiff to powerful leadership positions. It sounds incredible, but that is exactly what is happening in Texas! Despite a 20 year Republican legislative majority in Texas, leadership positions are still being handed over to Democrats, giving them the power to thwart conservative legislation, promote their woke agenda, and raise money to elect Democrats.

Last session, Texas House Republicans awarded approximately 40% of House committee chairmanships to Democrats. This includes putting Democrats in charge of important committees like Public Education, Business & Industry, and Criminal Jurisprudence.

We are calling for House Republicans to end the practice of appointing Democrats to positions of power.

These are the only Republican Representatives of which we are aware who have publicly called to end the practice of awarding committee chairmanships to Democrats. We need ALL Republican elected officials to publicly state they will vote to BAN DEMOCRAT COMMITTEE CHAIRS in the House rules.

We only have until early January to gain support before the Texas House of Representatives adopts formal rules in one of their first meetings.

Here’s what we need you to do:

Step 1) Call your State Representative; a phone call is more effective than an email. If you don't know who your Representative is or their phone number, click here.

Step 2) Urge them to release a public statement (tweet, facebook post, mass email, or press release) supporting House Rules that ban Committee Chairs of the minority party. If they have already made a public statement banning Democrat Committee Chairs, thank them.

EXTRA CREDIT: Use the hashtag #NoDemChairs on social media to encourage your friends to call and keep track of who has made statements as well!

Chairing a committee allows a Democrat to single-handedly block legislation from passing and provides them the power to push their far-left radical agenda. We can’t let that happen—contact your legislators today!

Defending Texas and Saving America,

Texas Republicans
