Big wins for Hamilton County at the Texas GOP Convention!
A small team of delegates from Hamilton County brought resolutions to the six day convention in Houston. They spent the first three days testifying before committees and subcommittees. Throughout the convention, they worked with delegates from across Texas to select new leaders and shape the party’s core beliefs, rules, and priorities.
Great news: Three Hamilton resolutions are part of the official platform. That’s a strong achievement for a delegation from a small rural community.
Hamilton delegates helped advance key principles, including ending corporate welfare such as local tax abatements and protecting medical freedom by ending vaccine mandates.
The platform now includes these important positions that protect families, taxpayers, and individual rights:
- Taxpayer protection — Opposing special tax breaks and subsidies for large-scale commercial developments in rural communities (ex: solar farms, wind farms, data mining facilities, data storage facilities, and battery storage facilities).
- Privacy — Rejecting warrantless government surveillance of Texans, including systems like Flock cameras.
- Fair costs — Requiring large-scale commercial developments in rural communities to pay for their own water, electricity, and infrastructure.
- Medical freedom — Defending personal choice in healthcare and ending all government vaccine mandates.
- Accountability — Giving the party the ability to formally address elected Republicans who repeatedly violate core principles.
- Election integrity — Stronger security measures so every legal vote counts and the process is transparent.
- Tax relief — Working toward the elimination of property taxes so families keep more of what they earn.
- No taxpayer-funded lobbying — Banning public money for lobbyists pushing bigger government or special favors.
- Constitutional law — Upholding the Texas and U.S. constitutions and keeping foreign legal systems, such as sharia law, out of our state.
- Protecting life — Defending unborn babies and supporting policies that value human life from conception.
- Border security — Strengthening the border to protect communities from illegal crossings, human trafficking, and dangerous drugs while supporting legal immigration.
- Unincorporated land development — Grant County Commissioners Courts limited regulatory authority to protect rural land against the negative impacts of large-scale commercial developments.
Hamilton County’s results show that size doesn’t limit impact. Focused testimony and alignment with shared principles made the difference. The county party plans to build on this success at future conventions.
Proud of our team!
