March Is When Texas Actually Elects It’s Leaders

Your vote in a primary of a few thousand voters carries far more weight than your vote in a November election of millions. To Make Matters Worse - Most of our elected leaders win in March by a tiny percentage of votes yet go on to represent our interests, will and values. With tailored districts, MOST RACES IN TEXAS ARE DECIDED BEFORE YOU EVER CAST A VOTE IN NOVEMBER. VOTE in March and ELECT leaders who value WHAT MATTERS MOST TO YOU!

~1 In 10 Texans Vote In The Texas Primary

In the last four Texas primaries, turnout never rose above13% — meaning nearly 8 out of 10 eligible Texans didn’t choose our leaders.

A Loud Few Decide Our Candidates in November

If you don’t like who is on the ballot in November, you and your friends probably didn’t vote in March.

Our Priorities, Values And Laws Are Impacted

Our elected leaders know that in order to get into office; they PRIMARILY need March voters….  And to stay in office, they only need to listen to the priorities, values and will of those voters.

Have you ever wondered why our elected leaders are focused on DIVISIVE, FRINGE ISSUES that don’t really matter? Have you ever showed up to vote in November and NOT LIKED ANYONE on the ballot? If your answer is “YES!”,it is likely because you didn’t vote in March. If you want leaders who represent the values and priorities that matter most to you, do the Texas two-step – vote in March and November.
