A primary election is an election in which registered voters select a candidate that they believe should be a political party's candidate for elected office to run in the general election. They are also used to choose convention delegates and party leaders. Primaries are state-level and local-level elections that take place prior to a general election. Texas utilizes an open primary system. State law requires voters to sign the following pledge before voting in a primary: "I am a (insert appropriate political party) and understand that I am ineligible to vote or participate in another political party's primary election or convention during this voting year."[1]

For information about which offices are nominated via primary election, see this article.

Submitted Biography "Sholdon is a native Texan raised by a poor single mother and worked his way up to become a successful attorney, husband, father, and small business owner. A proud 80s baby who believes our generation must rise to the challenge of public service—not for fame or power, but to protect the values that made this country great. He is running for Congress because he cares deeply about the future of our young people—and because he's had enough of corrupt politicians, broken promises, and policies that defy both logic and morality. Common sense shouldn’t be controversial. But today, it’s under constant attack by global interests and media elites who don’t share our values and don’t care about working Americans. Sholdon Daniels believes in manhood, womanhood, family, faith, and freedom. He believes in securing our borders, protecting our kids, and putting Main Street ahead of Wall Street. As your representative, he'll fight to restore opportunity, order, and sanity to our nation’s politics. He's not backed by billionaires or political machines. Sholdon is part of the home team—ready to fight for us, not them. A vote for Sholdon Daniels is a vote to put America, Texas, and common sense first again."


Key Messages

To read this candidate's full survey responses, click here.


Sholdon Daniels wants real representation for real people. Voters deserve leaders who understand their struggles and share their values—not just their party label. He's lived what many are living: raised by a single mother, worked his way up, and built a life grounded in faith, family, and hard work. He'll never forget who he represents—everyday Americans, not political elites or special interest groups.


Sholdon Daniels will put Americans first—not illegal immigrants. While working-class citizens fight to make ends meet, illegal immigrants are receiving free benefits funded by our tax dollars. That’s wrong. Our government must prioritize American families, protect the middle class, and secure our borders. Citizenship should mean something again. Sholdon Daniels is America First.


Sholdon Daniels wants to restore common sense to Washington DC. America has enormous untapped potential—but we’re being held back by corrupt politicians, radical agendas, and broken systems. It’s time for a new generation of servant leaders to rise up. Sholdon Daniels will fight to bring back sanity, protect your freedoms, and move this country forward with bold, principled leadership.
