Trisha Hope and the Smithsonian!

Trisha Hope with J6 hat

The Galveston County Republican Party extends its congratulations to Trisha Hope. Trisha has donated some very special items to the Smithsonian Institution!

Here is the back story. While serving as a delegate to the 2024 Republican National Convention, Trisha was approached by a Smithsonian representative. That person asked Trisha about her hat and earrings, which were designed to highlight and support J6ers. The representative asked Trisha if she’d consider donating them to the Smithsonian for a display in a future exhibit of the Republican National Convention. Before long, Trisha was working with Claire Jerry of the National Museum of American History. Claire is the Curator for the Division of Political History. On May 20, 2025 Trisha arrived at the Smithsonian, and permanently placed her hat and earrings into the pantheon of American history.

The people honored by her creation are: Master Sergeant and Green Beret Jeremy Brown, former NYPD 911 1st responder Sara Carpenter and Texans Mark and Jalise Middleton. Jeremy and Sara met Trisha at the Smithsonian. Trisha said about them: “I couldn’t help but notice the pride they felt, it had been a long time coming. Just months prior both were wrongly incarcerated due to a corrupt DOJ who denied every J6er due process.”

Mark and Jalise Middleton ran a non-profit organization that assisted J6ers. Prior to the donation, Mark and Jalise were able to visit Trisha in Galveston. They were joined by Suzzanne Monk, founder of the J6 Pardon Project. In fact, Suzzanne’s book was the inspiration for Trisha’s hat. It is titled: How to Pardon the J6ers: A Comprehensive Strategy Guide for President Donald J. Trump.

Congratulations to Trisha Hope for this great honor. Your efforts, along with those of Jeremy, Sara, Mark, Jalise and Suzzanne are reminiscent of this 1961 quote from Ronald Reagan:

Note: Although Trisha’s items are not posted at this time, the Smithsonian’s collections from several National Republican Conventions can be found here, at the website for the National Museum of American History.
