2026 Republican Primary Ballot Propositions — What are Voters Are Signaling?

Updated: Feb 13

The 2026 Republican Primary ballot includes several propositions addressing property taxes, border security, public safety, education policy, and parental rights.

But the real issue isn’t what voters signal.

It’s what legislators actually build.


Property Taxes


Eliminating school Maintenance & Operations (M&O) taxes statewide would cost roughly $40 billion per year if spending were frozen .

That means real elimination requires:

  • Spending limits tied to population + inflation

  • Dedicated surplus compression

  • Constitutional guardrails to prevent backfilling

  • Structural reform — not temporary relief


Our platform prioritizes eliminating homestead property taxes permanently, not branding tax cuts that disappear two years later.


Border & Public Safety


Ballot propositions on enforcement and public safety require more than messaging.

They require:

  • Clearly defined ministerial duties

  • Non-delegable public obligations

  • Constitutional supremacy over bureaucratic workarounds


That’s why we drafted the Sword & Shield Acts — to prevent officials from bypassing constitutional limits and to protect liberty while preserving lawful authority.

Primary propositions matter.

But results require structure.

Accountability is built — not announced.
