Legislative Priorities

RESOLVED, that we, the Republican Party of Texas, urge the Texas Senate and House Republican Caucuses to adopt these legislative priorities as their own.

ELECTION INTEGRITY
Require citizenship verification of each voter, and felony penalties for Election Code violations that threaten election integrity.

RELIGIOUS FREEDOM
Restore the rights of individuals, organizations and businesses, to exercise their sincerely held religious beliefs by prohibiting local ordinances, state laws, or executive orders that violate those rights.

CHILDREN AND GENDER MODIFICATION
Abolish the following practices for minors: intervention to prevent natural progression of puberty; administration of opposite sex hormones; and performance of any type of gender reassignment surgery.

ABOLITION OF ABORTION
Abolish abortion by ensuring the right to life and equal protection of the laws to all preborn children from the moment of fertilization.

CONSTITUTIONAL CARRY
Restore legal Texas firearms owners’ rights to carry them openly or concealed without a permit, while maintaining the option of a permit for reciprocity purposes.

MONUMENT PROTECTION
All monuments or markers in our state shall be protected by law from being removed, defaced, destroyed, or otherwise dishonored. In particular, specific protection shall be given to the Alamo Cenotaph which shall not be removed from its current location off the Alamo Battlefield footprint.

SCHOOL CHOICE FOR ALL
Empower parents and guardians to choose from public, private, charter, or homeschool options for their children’s education using tax credits or exemptions without government restraint or intrusion.

BAN TAXPAYER-FUNDED LOBBYING
Abolish all forms of taxpayer-funded lobbying.
