Republican Liberty Caucus Endorses 3 More Great
Congressional Candidates in Texas GOP Primary
These Candidates Are Dedicated to Returning the Republican Party to the Principles of Limited Government and Individual Liberty
AUSTIN, TX – The National Board of the Republican Liberty Caucus is pleased to endorse three more exceptional candidates in the Texas Republican primary. Eddie Traylor (CD10), Grant Stinchfield (CD24) and Steve Stockman (CD36) stand out among a field of excellent candidates in Texas this year and were chosen for early endorsement because of their dedication to constitutionally limited government, individual liberty and free enterprise. They are more great assets to add to a growing slate of extraordinary Liberty Republican candidates in Texas this year.
“Voters in Texas are starting to realize that our nation cannot survive when both parties allow government to grow out of control at the cost of our liberties,” said RLC National Chairman Dave Nalle. “These candidates represent the new direction of American politics and the best traditions of the Republican Party. They have personal integrity, a dedication to the best interests of the people and a firm belief in responsible government. They are exactly the kind of representatives we need to send to DC to work with our 2010 endorsees like Justin Amash (MI) and Rand Paul (KY) to put our government back on track”
Eddie Traylor has an distinguished military background and was selected by the grassroots process developed here in Texas by GOOOH. Grant Stinchfield has a background in media and business and has a burning desire to bring a platform of real reform to Congress. Former Congressman Steve Stockman is finally heeding the call to return to politics. He has been on the RLC board of advisers for many years and now we have great hopes that he’ll return to DC to finish the work which was left undone when he held office back in the 1990s.
In 1774 John Adams wrote that the revolution had been completed “in the minds of the people” before conflict ever broke out, and we believe that a similar revolution in attitude is taking place in the United States today.
Following on the election of more than two-dozen RLC endorsees to the House and Senate in 2010, the RLC has set a goal of doubling that number in the 2012 election. With a larger core of newly elected, principled representatives in Washington we can move away from the big government status quo and towards putting the rights and interests of the people first.
The people of Texas are no longer content to sit idly by and accept the dictates of out of control government in Washington, DC. We are demanding better service and real accountability, and if we do not get it we will keep voting complacent and unresponsive office holders out until they get the message

These candidates were selected based on their answers to questions on our candidate survey and at the recommendation of the Texas chapter of the Republican Liberty Caucus. Further endorsements in state and federal races in Texas are expected in the coming months.
