Overview of 2018 Republican primaries
The 2018 Texas state legislative Republican primaries featured conflict between two factions. One group was opposed to House Speaker Joe Straus (R) and his preferred policies on issues like education financing and property taxes. The anti-Straus wing included members of the Texas Freedom Caucus and organizations such as Empower Texans and Texas Right to Life. The other group was supportive of Straus and his policy priorities. The pro-Straus wing included incumbent legislators allied with Straus and organizations such as the Associated Republicans of Texas and the Texas Association of Business. To learn more about these factions and the conflict between them, visit our page on factional conflict among Texas Republicans.
The primaries occurred on March 6, 2018, with runoffs on May 22, 2018. There were 48 contested state legislative Republican primaries, outnumbering contested primaries in 2016 (43) and 2014 (44).

Jeremy has served on national boards. He formerly served on America’s National Prayer Committee and the National Day of Prayer (~14 years). He presently serves on the the Board of Intercessors for America. He also co-founded the Collegiate Day of Prayer which has mobilized churches and groups to adopt every one of our nation’s colleges.- Jeremy is The Proven Principled, Experienced, Bold, Conservative.
Secure the border, secure the economy, secure the family—Texas deserves a fighter who won’t bend to DC or woke Austin. Are you tired of electing people who believe one thing but, don't act on it once they face pressure in Washington? This will NEVER happen with Jeremy. He will be one of the boldest congressional members.
He knows how to build coalitions and work with others while never compromising conservative principles. You can BE SURE he will act on your behalf behind the scenes and in public. He values service and principle over advancing himself in DC. Most every bad policy decision has come from leaders who choose themselves instead of the good of others. - Secure the Family. Jeremy will work with President Trump and others to ensure that our laws favor building families and marriages. The family is crucial in every respect to building a strong nation. He is 100% pro life. He is 100% a fighter for religious liberty. He is for parental rights in making all the choices with their child's education and expanding educational options. He will also work to stop the transgender push and sexualization of kids in our laws, public schools, government agencies, sports, public events, etc.
- Secure the Economy. Secure the Border. America is in $38 trillion of debt. Out of control wasteful spending threatens our future, fuels inflation, makes housing unaffordable and uses the government to redistribute wealth. This must stop. Jeremy WILL NOT vote for ongoing continuing resolutions to pass the buck forward rather than making the tough decisions to reduce spending. He will advocate for voting on the budget in small sections so true congressional oversight and reduction in spending can occur. Also, the border must be kept secure. Our government can never again become the indirect catalyst for massive human trafficking. Our immigration laws must be changed to be clear and fair so they are not open to manipulation by bureaucrats.
Colleges must provide clearly marketable degrees at a fair market price & conservative viewpoints must not be discriminated against in the classroom. Colleges that violate these principles should loose federal funding. Government research grants should have clear accountability and sunset provisions to end if not showing results.
