Tarrant GOP’s election strategy focuses on $3.5M in donations, unified campaign
“One big beautiful campaign” and $3.5 million are the keystones to success for Tarrant County Republicans in the midterm elections, Tarrant’s GOP Chair Tim Davis said.
On Wednesday, Davis outlined his vision at an Arlington Republican club called the Freedom Fighters.
Davis was frank with the roughly 20 people in attendance, saying the November election will not be an easy victory. Anyone who thinks so is naive, Davis said.
“Everything we have, we have to earn,” he said. “Everything we have, we have to fight to keep, and that’s going to be true in November.”
Heavy-hitting positions on the ballot include the U.S. Senate seat, five U.S. Representative seats and a number of statewide offices.
Tarrant County’s Republican candidates will have the most integrated campaign than ever before and the party will raise $3.5 million to support them, Davis said.
An integrated campaign will ensure that the candidates’ values, efforts and messaging are aligned up and down the ballot.
“We don’t need to have 40 judges running around doing different things, we need to do that,” he said. “We need to be the quarterback for that at the party, and that’s what we’re working hard to do.”
The staggering goal of $3.5 million will fund advertisements and voter research, Davis said. Much of the campaigning will be volunteer driven.
On Saturday, the Tarrant County GOP swore in new precinct chairs. Davis said they are fired up to do the hard work until the election.
“They get the fight that it’s going to take, they get the work that it’s going to take, they get the time that it’s going to take, the treasure it’s going to take for us to hold this great state and keep electing people like [State Board of Education member] Brandon Hall, keep electing people like Governor Abbott,” Davis said. “I keep saying Senator Paxton already. I hope I’m not jinxing it.”
Election Day is Nov. 3 with early voting on Oct. 19-30.
