You’re Invited: Rains County Candidate Forum

Monday, January 12, 2026 | Emory, Texas

One of the most important parts of representative government is showing up — not for speeches or slogans, but to listen directly to the People.

I invite you to attend the Rains County Candidate Forum on Monday, January 12, 2026, at 6:00 PM at the Rains Elementary School Cafeteria in Emory. This forum gives voters the opportunity to hear directly from candidates, ask real questions, and engage face-to-face in a respectful, community setting.

I will be there to introduce myself, answer questions, and speak plainly about my priorities: upholding the Constitution, protecting liberty, supporting teachers, and restoring accountability in government.
