Fasten your seatbelts—January delivered an energized, sold-out Texas Attorney General Forum to start the 2026 election cycle strong, with the Central Texas Republican Women (RW) leading the way for the community and membership. CTRW leads the way! A big CTRW thank-you to Senator Joan Huffman, Senator Mayes Middleton, and Aaron Reitz, who traveled from across Texas to participate in the 2026 Club forum. Attendees left with a clearer understanding of the responsibilities covered by the Attorney General's office. Each candidate responded to questions, providing voters with valuable insight ahead of the ballot box later this month. The Executive Team hopes you found value in bringing this forum to fruition. In February, voters and candidates will be gearing up for the Republican Primary Election, with Early Voting kicking off on February 17th. Make a plan, invite your neighbors and family, and get out to vote. There will be one more opportunity for candidates to get in front of the community at the Central Texas RW *Faith*Family*Freedom* Gala on February 10th. So, get ready to celebrate the 62nd anniversary of Central Texas RW and the 250th Birthday of America at the *Faith*Family*Freedom* Gala FUNdraiser on February 10th. This will be a star-studded event featuring speakers from all walks of life and experiences for a very special evening. Guests will hear inspiring messages from Pastor Ramiro Peña (serves on President Trump's Faith Team), Gary Heavin (Curves Co-Founder & Philanthropist), Steve Munisteri (Senior Advisor to Governor Greg Abbott), Dr. Dawn Buckingham (TX Land Commissioner), Dr. Brad Buckley (TX Representative HD54), and Hillary Hickland (TX Representative HD55). The evening will also feature a unique Texas-inspired Silent/Live Auction with Commissioner Bobby Whitson as the guest auctioneer, music, dancing, and an opportunity to meet and hear from candidates. . And for something extra romantic with Valentine’s right around the corner, someone will walk away with a sparkling Oval Pink 2.12-carat Sapphire. Get your tickets to reserve your seat for a fun evening. It’s here. Republican candidates are heading to the Primary Election this month. Congratulations to each CTRW member who is either a candidate, helping in a campaign, or working as an election worker during this Primary Election season. Thank you for always giving your best effort as we work together to build and unify the Republican Party in our local area, in Texas, and across the Nation. Your effort and vote matter. Remember, after the election, we come back together, support the Republican Nominee 100%, and win the Mid-Terms. Texas succeeds when Texans succeed, as we value faith, family, and freedom.
