You may be thinking, Parker County is a solid conservative county, you are right. In the 2020 election, President Trump took 82.66% of the total vote, with Joe Biden receiving only 17.34%. Republicans hold every local and Statewide office, and have for many years. You may even be thinking, “we are safe here, so it doesn’t really matter if I get busy and don’t get out and vote”, nothing could be further from the truth.

Your vote is critical. Parker county is growing by leaps and bounds. Recent data shows 22 people per day move into Parker County, making us the 6th fastest growing county in the US. With that growth comes an even greater responsibility to keep Parker county true to the principles and virtues that have made it such a beacon for those seeking refuge. Refuge from the policies and ideologies overtaking the large cities in our state and country. more government, higher taxes, illegal immigration, and less accountability for crime.

In the 2020 election, Parker County had 105,177 registered voters, but only 76,422 people voted; leaving nearly 30,000 votes on the table. Today we have 127,635 registered voters. If we have the same percentage turnout, we are leaving nearly 35,000 votes out of this election. That’s more people than the population of the city of Weatherford (2020 population of 30,854). So what difference would those 35,000 votes make? In 2020 Donald Trump lost Tarrant county by a mere 1,826 votes. While our friends to the east have been hard at work securing a victory for President Trump, we have an opportunity here to create such a victory that we eclipse the numbers and send a message to radical democrats like Kamala Harris and Colin Allred that Texas is and will remain to be a strong hold for faith, family and freedom.

Don’t let Dallas decide the fate of our State and Nation.

We won 2020 statewide because of the conservative counties.

What makes America great? Is it the American dream? Is it our innovation? Our history? It’s a little bit of all of that. But perhaps more than anything else, what makes America great is our ability to decide our future. What sets us apart from so many other places in the world is the freedom we have to choose the future of our country. We don’t have to wait for a revolution, our Founders in their wisdom ensured we had one built in, every 4 years. With each Presidential cycle comes the opportunity to chart a new path forward. An opportunity to tell those who lead our country exactly what we think of the job they’ve been doing. But this system only works if the people do their duty.

Abraham Lincoln said, “Elections belong to the people. It’s their decision. If they decide to turn their back on the fire and burn the behinds, then they will just have to sit on their blisters”. This is as true today as it was when he spoke it, maybe more so. A recent study found that out of the more than 80 million self-identified Christians who regularly attend church, an estimated 39 million do not intend to vote in the upcoming November 5th election. This is tragic and speaks to the problems that are plaguing our society. When conservative, hardworking, honest and moral Americans don’t show up to the polls, we get leadership that reflects. Leadership that drives inflation to all-time highs. Leadership that opens our borders and floods our country with millions of people of whom we know nothing. Leadership that allows drugs to flow freely from criminal organizations into our communities. Leadership that promotes the confusion and manipulation of children leading to a mental health crisis and thousands of children abused with irreversible treatments and procedures. Voting is easy and confidential, and it shouldn’t feel like a burden.
