Republican primary ballot propositions

1. Texas should eliminate all property taxes without increasing Texans’ overall tax burden.

3. The Texas Legislature should require the use of E-Verify by all employers in Texas to protect jobs for legal workers by preventing the hiring of illegal aliens.

4. The Texas Legislature should end all subsidies and public services, including in-state college tuition and enrollment in public schools, for illegal aliens.

5. Texas urges the United States Congress not to grant any form of amnesty or a pathway to legalization for illegal aliens.

6. The Texas Legislature should prohibit the deployment of the Texas National Guard to a foreign conflict unless Congress first formally declares war.

8. The State of Texas should ensure that Texans are free to give or to withhold consent for any vaccine without coercion.

9. The Republican Party of Texas should restrict voting in the Republican Primary to only registered Republicans.

10. The Texas Constitution should be amended to restore authority to the Texas Attorney General to prosecute election crimes.

11. Texas parents and guardians should have the right to select schools, whether public or private, for their children, and the funding should follow the student.

12. The Texas Constitution should be amended to require proof of citizenship before any individual can be registered to vote.
