Today is Election Day!
Polls open 7 AM – 7 PM
Last chance across Texas to vote into office those with the power to tax you, regulate you and your property, and add debt to what you, your grandchildren and great-grandchildren (including the unborn) will owe the government over decades!
Your ballot today may include candidates for the offices of State Senate District 4 (special election), Mayor, City Council, School Board Trustee, Community College Trustee, Water/Drainage Control/Development/Special Taxing District members and Bond Elections (increase taxes/debt on the born and unborn).
What’s at Stake:
-
Citizen-First vs. Special Interest “Insider” Spending
-
Transparency vs. Back Room Shady Deals
-
Wholesomeness vs. Culture Rot funded by your tax dollars
-
Wise Planning/Management vs Foolish Governance
-
Keeping more of your money
-
Keeping more of your liberty
Protecting What’s Yours for Your Family!

Click on your county to find your county’s posted election information for sample ballots, early voting/Election Day dates, times, and locations. If your county’s link has not been updated, that’s your County Government’s fault. Instead, search for “_______ County, Texas, Elections Office” or “What’s on the ballot in _____ County, Texas today?”

TJC Bond:
Because no volunteers have stepped up to invest the time in regularly attending TJC Board meetings, Grassroots America’s Board of Directors takes no official position on the bond proposal. Instead, our board members Tom and Toni Fabry worked with TJC officials toward more transparency. Regular engagement of trustworthy volunteers is a requirement before we will spend money on any campaign.
5 Facts about Bond Elections
How Do I Know if May 2nd Candidates are Republican or Democrat?
By law, city, school board, community college, and special purpose district races are non-partisan on the ballot; therefore, there will be no party designation listed there; however, you can find out which party primary they vote in, if they vote at all, or if they are only general election voters (which means there’s no way to tell what they are).

Click here for a GREAT example of what Republican Party County Chairs should do to help voters avoid voting a leftist into office! Checking voting records to determine if a candidate is Republican or Democrat or doesn’t vote at all is the minimum first step in determining who should get your vote. This is how your Republican Party County Chairman can help you keep socialists and cultural Marxists from taking over local government. The next step is to determine whether a candidate who votes Republican will actually govern as one. That’s where local conservative groups can help voters.
Recommendations & Endorsements: Sadly, due to an excess of conflicting information, we cannot share endorsements and recommendations from local conservative groups as we have in the past. We have no time to mediate conflicts among conservatives over their local ballot choices; therefore, we cannot risk sending out flawed information.
