Texas First Pledge Signers Elected Chair and Vice Chair of the Republican Party of Texas

The Texas Nationalist Movement is proud to announce the election of two Texas First Pledge signers as Chair and Vice Chair of the Republican Party of Texas. The 2024 state Republican convention in San Antonio brought major gains for the movement working to secure Texas independence.

Since January, the movement had been in a public fight with the party. Under its previous chairman, the Republican Party of Texas rejected the more than 139,000 petition signatures the movement gathered to place a TEXIT referendum on the 2024 primary ballot. Under the Texas Election Code, 97,709 valid signatures would have required the party to place the question, “Should the State of Texas reassert its status as an independent nation?”, on that ballot.

The newly elected chairman, Abraham George, and vice chair, D'rinda Randell, both signed the Texas First Pledge earlier in the year. That pledge, part of the movement's Take Texas Back campaign, is an oath by candidates to put the interests of Texans first, including supporting legislative action to give Texans a vote on reasserting Texas independence.

“Last year, the party disenfranchised voters by neglecting the will of the people, and now we are changing the party as a whole,” said TNM President Daniel Miller. “What the political establishment once called fringe is now mainstream. Texans are tired of broken promises, and it was only a matter of time before more Texas First candidates took office.”
