To the People of Texas,
On May 26, Republicans will choose our nominee for Texas Attorney General at the most pivotal moment in our history since 1836. The most important state – with the 8th largest economy in the world – must have a Chief Legal Officer prepared and qualified to guarantee the safety, security, and prosperity of her sons and daughters.
The Texas we love is under attack. We feel the march of Islam overtaking our institutions – fueled by unlimited immigration and tolerance of those waging Jihad against our Christian values and the Judeo-Christian principles upon which Texas was built. We feel the cost of open borders on our schools, hospitals, airports, and communities.
We feel the danger of criminals and illegal aliens that liberal DA’s and Judges put on our streets. We feel the loss of Texas to corporate board rooms pushing green new scam subsidies and data centers.
Enough. It is time to stand up to defend Texas – and we need a proven fighter as Attorney General to lead the charge.
As an accomplished lawyer and proven conservative, I am that fighter. I have prosecuted criminals, led and won complex litigation to defend Texas as the First Assistant Attorney General under Ken Paxton, and authored and championed the most conservative legislation on record in the U.S. Congress over my 8-year career. Texans who have endorsed me – from Ted Cruz to my constituents who elected me four times – know this to be undeniably true.
Meanwhile, my opponent has never set foot in a courtroom. As State Senator, he introduced legislation to protect Mosques and Sharia communities like EPIC City, made it easier for illegals to drive commercial trucks, and was soft on criminals. We should not hire an unqualified politician who has never seriously practiced law for Attorney General. It is not enough to spend inherited wealth to buy votes and join pay-for-play grifters to target me.
I stood with President Trump against impeachment and to deliver his agenda. I led the fight for border security, to designate cartels as terrorists, and authored President Trump’s top priority – the SAVE America Act. I stood up to cut spending and fraud when the establishment told me to sit down. I spoke up about COVID when the lobbyists, and consultants told me to shut up. I led the charge against the march of Islam when others ran from the “hate” label.
I have the record earned every day in a life dedicated to the battles that defined the MAGA agenda before it was politically convenient to try to buy it. It’s a record that triggered California leftists to spend $1 million in ads against me to “end my career” in the GOP primary because I delivered Trump’s cuts to the Green New Scam Subsidies.
My opponent has been described as “nice.” My family can say I am nice, but I want Texans to say their Attorney General is feared. Our enemies – Marxists, Islamists, cartels, criminals, activist judges, rogue DA’s, leftist non-profits, abortionists, and woke academics – fear only one candidate for Attorney General, and that is Chip Roy.
We cannot win a war that we do not acknowledge is being waged against us. I not only acknowledge the war, but I pledge my life and eternal vigilance to win it. 15 years ago, with God’s grace, I stared down and defeated Stage III cancer. I committed to my family and to God that I would spend every moment of my extra time on earth fighting for the freedom and security to spread the Gospel of Christ and to live out our faith.
As Sam Houston said, “Texas has yet to learn submission to any oppression, come from what source it may.” If you honor me with the duty of serving as Texas Attorney General, we will bow to no one but the Lord Almighty and we will be victorious over our enemies. That is our calling as Texans.
Chip Roy
