The 2012 TXRA Endorsing Convention was held in Fort Worth on January 27-28. It was well-attended and resulted in endorsements in several key statewide races.

Although there was no candidate endorsed in the Republican Primary race for U.S. Senate, a spirited discussion was engaged in by the candidates on a wide range of issues. Following the panel, many TXRA delegates spoke eloquently on behalf of their preferred candidate.

Our Convention keynote speaker NFRA President Rod Martin, delivered a call to action for our conservative agenda. Dr. Martin eloquently and passionately reminded us that the conservative movement has come a long way, but that we need to continue the fight. During his welcoming address, Congressman Michael Burgess informed us of the back story behind many recent Washington events.

Our congratulations go out to the candidates who achieved our endorsement; and our thanks go out to all the candidates who took time from their busy campaign schedules to attend our event!
