Why Voting in the Republican Primary Matters in Texas

Many Americans believe the general election is where their vote truly counts.

In reality, the Republican primary is often the most important election in Texas — especially in conservative districts like Texas Congressional District 13.

If you don’t vote in the primary, you’re allowing a small percentage of voters to decide which candidates represent Republican values on the November ballot.

The Founders didn’t establish a constitutional republic so citizens could disengage at the most critical stage of self-government.

Freedom doesn’t defend itself. Voters do.

What Is a Republican Primary?

A primary election is how political parties select their nominee for the general election.

In Texas:

• Republican voters choose the Republican nominee

• That nominee often becomes the eventual officeholder in conservative districts

  
  

Primaries are not symbolic. They are decisive.

In many Texas races, the general election is a formality. The primary is where leadership is truly chosen.

Why Republican Primaries Matter in Texas CD-13

Texas Congressional District 13 is a reliably conservative district.

That means:

• The Republican primary is where real debate happens

• The Republican primary determines which values move forward

• The Republican primary is where accountability begins

  
  

When Republicans sit out the primary, decisions are made by fewer voters — often driven by name recognition, outside money, or party insiders instead of informed citizens.

Constitutional conservatives believe in participation, responsibility, and limited government — and that starts with voting.

Voting Is a Constitutional Responsibility

The right to vote is not just a privilege — it is a responsibility secured through sacrifice.

Republicans have historically stood for:

• The Constitution

• The rule of law

• Citizen-led government

• Peaceful civic participation

  
  

Voting in the primary is how Republicans ensure that candidates reflect those principles — not just party labels.

Self-government only works when citizens show up

Why This Election Matters

This election is about more than party politics.

It’s about:

• Who represents Texas values in Washington

• Who respects the Constitution

• Who answers to voters, not political machines

As Chasity Wedgeworth reminds voters:

“The Founders didn’t fight a revolution so you could skip primaries.Freedom doesn’t defend itself. Voters do.”
