YOU DO NOT NEED TO BE A MEMBER TO ATTEND

Sometimes we are all so focused on what is going on in Washington DC with our elected officials, and so we should be, however we forget the elected officials in our own Texas Capital. Who are they, who is in control of House and Senate, what is on their agenda that will affect all Texans in our daily life.

These are the questions and issues that are researched daily by the Texas Scorecard, to keep us informed.

Brandon moved outside the dome in order to shine a spotlight on conservative victories and establishment corruption in Austin. He will be speaking on

*Why Texas Scorecard exists

*The importance of citizens being informed

*And of being engaged outside of elections,

*And the current fight in the Legislature to ban China from owning Texas land. 

Who is Brandon Waltens?

Born in the Socialist Republic of California, Brandon’s family fled as political refugees to Texas as fast as they could. After growing up in Dallas-Fort Worth, Brandon attended Baylor University, graduating with a Bachelor of Arts in Political Science in 2014. 

After working on Konni Burton’s senate campaign in 2014, Brandon went on to manage two successful legislative campaigns during the 2016 cycle, first for conservative stalwart Matt Rinaldi’s re-election in Irving and later the runoff campaign for challenger Briscoe Cain in Deer Park.

Brandon took the fight for conservative values to the halls of the state capitol during the 85th legislative session, serving as State Rep. Briscoe Cain’s Chief of Staff. 

Drawing on his experience from campaigns and inside the capitol, Brandon is focused on shining a spotlight on conservative victories and establishment corruption in Austin and making the seemingly complex legislative process more accessible so that all conservative Texans may keep their government accountable.

We would encourage everyone to attend and bring your questions and bring a friend.
