WRITE OF CENTER
As the Primary Runoff and Texas Republican Party State Convention conclude, the message is straightforward: the time for internal competition has passed. Now, we unite behind our nominees and direct every ounce of energy toward victory in November.
Kendall County voters settled very competitive races. At the end of the day, the process worked as it should. I congratulate the nominees who earned the right to carry our banner and thank every candidate who stepped up. Their engagement strengthens our party.
The state convention theme, “Strong Roots, Bold Future,” captured where we stand. We reaffirmed the conservative principles that define us: secure borders, a strong economy, parental rights in education, election integrity, and individual liberty. Spirited debate during primaries and conventions is healthy. However, lingering division afterward is not.
As your Kendall County Republican Party Chairman, my job is to turn unity into results. That means supporting every Republican nominee, growing our grassroots through registration and turnout, and inviting every conservative in our community to get involved. We don’t need perfect agreement on every primary preference. We need shared commitment to winning in November and delivering for Kendall County families.
Our base includes strong communities of faith and Second Amendment advocates whose full participation can be decisive. When Evangelicals, 2A supporters, and all conservatives turn out in stronger numbers, real competition for the Republican Party largely disappears.
The bigger challenge isn’t the other side; it’s fighting voter apathy and making sure every eligible voter who shares our values actually casts a ballot in the November general election.
That is the work in front of us now. To everyone who volunteered, donated, or voted this spring, thank you. Now I’m asking you to step up again. Talk to your neighbors. Host a meet-and-greet or put up a yard sign this fall. Volunteer your time or skills. These small actions compound quickly when we all move in the same direction.
If you believe in the values that make Texas work — faith, freedom, opportunity, and personal responsibility — there’s a place for you here. Contact me directly at [email protected] to get involved. Help us energize faith communities, gun clubs, civic groups, and every corner of Kendall County.
November is closer than you think. With purposeful unity and stronger turnout from our core supporters, Kendall County Republicans will deliver.
Let’s get to work — together.
Traften Werenskjold is chairman of the Kendall County Republican Party
