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.
Wait, There's Another election???
Updated on Friday, Jun 5, 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%+. Jake 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.
Primary Runoff Results
Updated on Friday, Jun 5, 2026
I was quite pleased with the Primary runoff Election on May 26th as all of my preferred candidates won.
US Senate: Ken Paxton defeated incumbent John Cornyn.
Cornyn was a four-term Senator and was high in the Senate Republican leadership. He was, however, not a strong conservative, and many voters have been disappointed in his performance over the years. Ken Paxton, on the other hand, has been a very strong conservative, both in the Texas Senate and as Attorney General. He was so strong, in fact, that the left went after him with everything they could muster. He triumphed, however, in the Senate impeachment trial as no eveidence could be brought forth against him, and he was roundly acquitted. Paxton won this race going away, as President Trump endorsed him at the last minute. He will now face radical, left-wing James Talarico in the November General Election. I will have much more to say about this race between now and November, but Paxton would be an excellent trade up from Cornyn.
Attorney General: Mayes Middleton defeated Chip Roy.
Strong conservative Texas Senator Middleton beat US Congressman Chip Roy by 15%. Roy had his good points, but Middleton is a strong conservative Christian who should do a great job as AG.
Railroad Commissioner: Bo French defeated incumbent Jim Wright.
Former Tarrant County GOP Chair French has been a strong voice against the threat of Radical Islamic influence in Texas. Wright has a past of supporting Democrats, so this was an easy choice.
Judge, Court of Criminal Appeals: Thomas Smith defeated Alison Fox.
This is essentially the Texas Supreme Court, so it was a pivotal race. This court in the past took away the ability of the AG to prosecute Election Fraud crimes. We hope to reverse this injustice going forward. Smith is solid, whereas Fox was suspect in many areas.
So all four of these races turned out for the best and put us in a good position for November. We will talk about that Election over the next several months, so stay tuned.

Mid-term Election - March 3rd!
Updated on Wednesday, Apr 22, 2026
This is a year when we have a mid-term election. Although we are not voting for president, we do vote for all members of the US House of Representative and a third of the Senate. In Texas one of our Senators, John Cornyn, is up for re-election. We also have Texas state elections. We will vote for all members of the Texas House and about half the Texas Senate seats, as their terms are for four years. There are many other races of note, including governor, judges, and various other state and local races. Often it's these state and local office-holders that affect our day-to-day lives more than those in Washington!
These mid-term elections will occur in November, but first, each party must select their candidates for each race in November. This is done in the Primary election, this year to be held on March 3, 2026. Many people, even those that are politically minded, skip the primary and only vote in the General Election in November. This is a mistake. The choice in a General Election is usually quite clear – as I’m fond of saying, the worst Republican candidate is better than the best Democrat. But Republican candidates are not the same. Especially in Texas, many moderates who hold more to Democrat principles than Republican, will run as Republicans because that gives them a better chance to win in November. So, it’s the Primary, coming up very quickly in March, where we select which Republicans will run in November. One reason given for not voting in the Primary is that voters don’t know about the candidates. This is why we have voter guides, other resources, and a Precinct Chair – that’s me!
Use this web site to help you choose which candidates better reflect your values, use the resources provided, and then, most importantly, vote! Since the turnout is generally lower in the Primary, those that do vote have a much bigger voice in which candidates will run in November. So, vote! Talk to your friends and family members. Encourage those that feel the same way you do to vote as well. This is a chance for We the People to let our voices be heard.
