"When I say that I’m going to fight alongside of you, I mean all of you. Each and every one. President Trump did not build the greatest coalition in politics by running his supporters through endless, self-defeating purity tests. He says, ‘Make America Great Again’ because every American is invited. We don't care if you're white or Black, rich or poor, young or old, rural or urban, controversial, or a little bit boring, or somewhere in between."
Vice President JD Vance - December 21, 2025 at Turning Point USA's AmericaFest, Phoenix, AZ

While serving as a member of the Army Reserve, I successfully grew businesses and brands. In 2009, I was ordered to Active Duty in support of the Global War on Terrorism.
Over the ensuing 16 years, my political involvement was limited due to my service on Active Duty as an Operations NCO, Career Counselor, Special Missions NCO, and Area Leader . As of September 1, I retired as a Master Sergeant, thus removing these limitations. Even with these limits I served as a Deputy Registrar, Elections Judge, Precinct Chair, Senate District Delegate, State Delegate, and an Appraisal Review Panelist.
For the past nine years, I have listened to Ellis County voters express concerns about the disunity among Republican voters and the local GOP heading in the wrong direction. This is reflected in voting trends from the last three Presidential elections where the percentage of Democrat voters grew nearly 7%. Compared to Denton, Collin, and Tarrant counties, only Ellis lost ground to Democrats from 2020 to 2024.
The voters of Ellis county expressed their desire for change in the most recent Republican primary where over 34% failed to vote for the incumbent even without another choice on the ballot. I’m offering that change.
If elected as Chairman, I will bring the innovative leadership needed to grow our base, engage voters, and unite conservatives across Ellis County.
If elected I will:
1. Operate the Ellis County Republican Party Executive Committee like a board of directors focused on winning general elections.
2. Reconstitute party leadership with a focus on recruiting individuals with the requisite skills needed for specific positions.
3. Actively communicate with the community to include hosting events outside of the monthly meeting, scheduled “office days”, speaking at community gatherings, and appearing before government/civic classes.
4. Guide the Ellis County GOP to be an informative and inviting group for all Republican voters and not simply an echo chamber for a select few.
The Chairman of the Republican Party in Ellis County, Texas, acts as the elected leader of the Ellis County Republican Executive Committee (ECREC), which is the governing body of the local Republican Party with duties and responsibilities outlined by Texas Election Code, Texas Republican Party rules, and Ellis County Republican Party Bylaws. This is an unpaid position with a two year term. Most importantly the chair is responsible for leading the Republican Party in Ellis County.
Early voting in Ellis County will commence on February 17, and conclude on Friday, February 27, with Election Day scheduled for Tuesday, March 3, 2026. Please note that you may register to vote up to 30 days prior to Election Day and vote in this election.
