OPEN LETTER FROM COUNTY GOP CHAIRS IN TEXAS PERSONALLY ENDORSING TRUMP FOR PRESIDENT

January 25, 2024

To Whom It May Concern:

We, the undersigned Republican County Chairs in Texas, announce our personal endorsement of former President Donald J. Trump to be the Republican nominee for President in 2024.

With the stakes in this presidential election the highest of our lifetime, there is no time to waste to ensure our Republican ticket is the strongest it can be.

While we respect the efforts and qualities of the many other candidates who have run or are running for President, it is now undeniably clear that Donald Trump will be the Republican nominee.

President Trump won the Iowa Caucuses by more than 30%, the largest margin in history. President Trump won the New Hampshire primary by 11%, and that was in an open primary state where independent and Democrats flooded in to raise overall turnout. The next head-to-head contest is South Carolina, a state Trump won twice overwhelmingly and where he leads by larger margins than he has in Iowa or New Hampshire.

The Biden campaign raised over $230M in 2023 and has the largest war chest in history. Future expenditure of time and resources fighting over a nomination that is no longer in doubt only weakens our chance to win in November.

This endorsement is a personal endorsement from the undersigned county chairs, not a decision made by our organizations, which would require a vote of our executive committees. We will continue to have our primary administrators run our March 2024 primary fairly to all active candidates up and down the ballot.

But it is our considered judgment that the GOP primary for President is now over.

We believe it is now time for all Republicans to unify behind our nominee. There is no time to waste. Too much is at stake.
