EXCLUSIVE: Republicans in key red state launch campaign to elect ‘true’ conservatives ahead of Trump return

Conservatives in Texas are taking a stand to ensure that true conservative leadership is represented in crucial leadership roles in the state. The Texas Republican Leadership Fund (TRLF) has been established to elect leaders who align with conservative values and principles.

Despite Texas being a strongly conservative state with a Republican governor and a majority in the legislature, the last four Texas House speakers have been elected with the support of Democrats. This has resulted in Democrats wielding significant power and influence in the largest Republican state in the nation. The TRLF, led by principal donor Alex Fairly, aims to change this dynamic.

With an initial funding of $20 million, the TRLF has garnered support from influential leaders in Texas who are committed to making the state a leader in conservative politics. The goal is to elect leaders who will support conservative initiatives and policies, rather than compromising with Democrats.

As the state prepares for the upcoming speakership election in January, the TRLF is ready to hold elected officials accountable if they align with a Democratic-backed speaker. The organization is committed to supporting conservative candidates in the primaries and the 2026 general election to ensure that true conservative leadership prevails.

With the support of Texas Republicans, the TRLF aims to prevent lukewarm Republicans from making backroom deals with Democrats and compromising conservative principles. As President-elect Trump prepares to take office, the need for strong conservative leadership in Texas is more important than ever to support the administration’s agenda.

The battle for the speakership in the Texas House of Representatives is heating up, with two frontrunners vying for the position. The TRLF is backing Rep. David Cook, who is supported by hardline conservatives, in opposition to Rep. Dustin Burrows, who has sought support from Democrats.

The TRLF’s efforts have garnered attention from national figures, including Donald Trump Jr., who has criticized attempts to strike deals with Democrats. The organization is committed to ensuring that Texas Republicans unite behind conservative leadership and prevent Democrats from gaining undue influence in the state.

As Texas prepares for a new chapter in conservative leadership, the TRLF is poised to support candidates who will uphold conservative values and priorities. With a focus on electing true conservatives to leadership roles, the organization aims to strengthen the Republican majority in the state and advance conservative policies for the benefit of all Texans.
