 Updated on Friday, Apr 17, 2026

Welcome to the web site for the Republican party Precinct 2522!  (Thanks to Jim Sutton for providing the software to run the site!)

This site provides a plethora of information regarding our current elected officials, past results, and upcoming elections.  Visit this site regularly for information regarding upcoming elections, candidate links, and endorsements.  The real goal for this site is to increase Republican voter turnout by providing information the voter can use to make wise choices in our elections.

About the Precinct Chair - I am recently retired from 43 years in the defense industry.  My wife and I are members of Christ Chapel Bible Church in Fort Worth and enjoy playing with our six grandchildren.  We live in the precinct (obviously) and are interested in stopping the spread of the radical move to the left in our country today and restoring conservative, Christian values in our society.  If you would like to help out, or contact me for any other reason, you can email me at TarrantGop2522@Yahoo.com.

You can find our current elected officials by clicking on Who Represents Me above.  To see information about upcoming elections, click Elections on the upper right, then Election Information.  There is information about candidates and, if you click Current Election, you can see who is running for each office.

Disappointing Turnout and Result
 Updated on Thursday, Jul 16, 2026

You may have missed the runoff on June 13th - most people did!  Think back to the local election on May 2nd - Melody Fowler, who has served on the Arlington ISD School Board, but was running for City Council just missed getting a majority, so she was forced to a runoff with Dr. Jason Shelton.  The runoff on June 13th allowed us to pick between them.  Should be an easy win, right?  Unfortunately, there was such a low turnout that Dr. Shelton won the race at about a 2-1 ratio!  This is very sad, because Fowler should have won this race.

This is reminiscent of the SD9 runoff in January.  Even though this was not an election in which we could vote, it is local and indicative of the problem we have.  The Democrats are motivated, and we are not.  President Trump won SD9 by something like 17 points, but strong conservative Republican Leigh Wambsganss lost to Democrat Taylor Rehmet.  If you're buying a house, you know the three most important factors: Location, location, location!  In politics, it's turnout, turnout, turnout.  As we look forward to November, we must get motivated to get out and vote, and get our friends and family to vote as well.

We'll talk more about the November election as it gets closer, but for now, we are faced with a City Councilman not to our liking.

Wait, There's Another election???
 Updated on Thursday, Jul 16, 2026

You may be tired of all of the elections held this Sping, but there is one more before we get a break until the big General Election in November.  

So why do we need another election?  Well, remember we had the Primary Election on March 3rd and the runoff on May 26th.  In between those elections we had the local election on May 2nd.  State law requires that a candidate must receive more than 50% to win the election, and if there are more than two candidates running, such as in a Primary or a local election, it's quite possible that no one gets the 50%+ votes required.  That's what happened in the local election.  Melody Fowler received 46.92% of the votes for Arlington City Council, just 772 votes shy of 50%+.  Jason Shelton finished second with 38.27% of the vote.

So, the runoff election is being held to pick between the two.  Election Day is June 13th, a Saturday, but early voting is going on right now.

Early voting sights are:

ACTIV - 2061 W Green Oaks Blvd

South Service Center - 1100 SW Green Oaks Blvd

On Election Day (Saturday, June 13th), we also have:

RF Patterson Elementary School - 6621 Kelly Elliott Rd (I will be judging at this location)

I support Melody Fowler in this race.
