LETTERTOTHEEDITOR
Committee website, followed by their Facebook Page, followed by a Conservative Voter Guide (created by the Tea Party), then a local business site then “MontgomeryCountyRepublican Party votes not to support Texas Lawmakers…” If you click on the “News Releases” tab under the first site (Montgomery County Republican Party of Texas GOP the first article mentionedis“UpdatefromCounty Chair Gwen Withrow,” then “CEC Votes to Deny Support to Censured Representatives BellandMetcalf.”
remove them from the ballot. T
m rewriting their By-Laws so they would have grounds to utilize the State CEC's newly written“Censure”resolution.
Will Metcalf has been the Author Co-Author or Joint Author of over 362 bills and Sponsored, Joint Sponsored and Co-Sponsored 70 bills in just the current 89th Regular Session These bills have directly or indirectly sup-
ion, and our conservative principles is trying to take away those rights. Theyhavelostsightof the fact that we already have an accountability process in place—elections! If you are not pleased with a candidate's actions,you,asavoter electa different candidate at the next election. The CEC's purpose is to represent the Republican Party of Montgomery County as a whole, not to endorse or favor one Rep
n candidate over another The Primary Elections are held to allow the voters the choice of whichcandidatewillbeonthe ballottorepresentourparty Is the present CEC really representing the true Republican voters of Montgomery County or are they just supporting candidates they select? Do they believe they cantakeawayourrighttovote for the candidates of our own choosing by changing their By-laws so they can control whothecandidatesshouldbe, and do they have the right to tell the elected candidate how theyshoulddotheirjob?
Therecentturmoilthathas taken place in our Montgomery County Republican Party began when the new CEC leadershiptookofficein2024. A few of them made the decision that it was now their job to determine who the SpeakeroftheHouseinTexas would be. Instead of allowing our elected representatives to dothejobtheywereelectedto do, the CEC tried to pressure and intimidate them with a threatof“Censure”toelectthe person the CEC wanted as Speaker Ifthisisthenewrole of the CEC, why would we need to elect Representatives atall?
Thankfully, our elected Representatives Metcalf and Belldidtheirjobandvotedfor theRepublicanRepresentative they felt would best serve the House and the citizens they represent, even with Censure”threat.But,realizingthe integrity of these two men as being“True”Republicansthat would not bow to the CEC's pressure, the power-hungry members of the Montgomery CEC leadership team began laying the groundwork right after they took office in 2024 beforetheSpeakerselectionto
of Montgomery County This is just one example of why he was elected to serve in this position for the last 3 terms. He is in his position because the voters felt he was the best candidate. Isitbecauseoneof his former opponents (the recently resigned Vice Chair of the CEC) was already planningtoreplacehimasthe Republican candidate on the upcoming ballot or is the Montgomery CEC really trying to control who our electedofficialsshouldbe?
Who is behind this detrimental change in the purposeoftheCECandwhy? Aretheysopower-hungrythat they feel it is warranted to destroy the unity of the Montgomery Republican Party?Are they really willing to take the chance and let the Democrats take control and turn Montgomery County “Purple”orworseyet,“Blue?”
The CEC Chairperson ran on the promise of bringing unity to our party but the abrupt takeover of the party's funding and the move of the established headquarters from itscentrallylocatedheadquarters in Conroe to an office locationownedbytheirnewly appointed CEC attorney was not a good start Trying to remove elected officials from the ballot even though the evidencetheyprovideddidnot meettheState'sresolutionwas outrageous The evidence they sited of a Democrat not beingabletoholda“Committee Chair” position had to be stretched to include Cochairs”(whichwasplainlynot listedintheState'sResolution) just to try to meet the State's “3” incidents requirement Don't they realize that we live with a two-party system and sometimes Democratic votes are needed to get things passed!
Thankfully, the Montgomery CEC's resolution did not receive enough votes by the Precinct Chairs to pass, although the CEC leadership wouldhaveyoubelieveitdid. So next they started using intimidation and harassment tacticstohavecurrentPrecinct Chairswhodidnotagreewith them to resign They also madethedecisiontogoahead and punish Metcalf and Bell bydisallowingtheircandidate information and signs from beingavailabletothepublicin the local Republican Party Office, whose purpose is to support all Republican candidates.
Toensuretheirpowerover the Precinct Chairs, the CEC leaders decided to create a “Vacancy Committee” which would use a “vetting process” to select new Precinct Chairs. With this in place they have been able to select Precinct Chairs who would go along with what they want, and during these last two years under the present leadership, the CEC has replaced over 15 Precinct Chairs with 5 newly appointed by the Vacancy Committee at the January 2026Meeting,withmoretobe appointed. According to the CEC s Minutes from that January meeting under the “VacancyCommitteeReport,” when one of the current Precinct Chairs asked if she could obtain a copy of the vettingquestions,shewastold by the Vacancy Committee Chair that “the questions are availableonthewebsiteaspart of the application and that personal interview questions were not stock and are spontaneously asked by committee members ” Does this sound like the CEC Chair is trying to grow the party, or are they just encouraging hand-picked applicants to be Precinct Chairs so they can control the party? (It makes youwonderwhomaynothave metthevettingcriteria.)
Not only is the CEC leadership encouraging uncooperativePrecinctChairs to leave the Republican Party, they have been passing other resolutions to keep other Montgomery County Republican organizations and PACs from supporting or endorsing any Republican candidate (not of their choosing) through the distribution of voter guides or by using the word “Republican”oranysymbolrepresenting Republican party in the candidate's literature by threatening to take “lawful action.” But the CEC is also relying heavily on the “Tea Party” PAC to represent them which utilizes an icon/symbol for their PAC that is very similar to the CEC's icon, so they would not be included in theorganizationsaddressedin this Resolution. It is sad that theyareutilizingtheTexasTea Party'sgoodname,whichwas once considered to be an upstanding conservative party that pushed to get Ted Cruz elected to promote their own voterguideandinitiatives.
These divisive tactics are not uniting our Republican Party Presently there are many very good candidates runningforofficethatmaynot be the choice of the CEC, and many reputable PACS and Clubs that support these candidatesandourRepublican Party, but they are being ostracized by the CEC. They have also by pushing their resolutions and their selected candidates,alloweduntruthful articlestobewritten,andhave encouraged and/or promoted their followers to write these slanderous articles about various candidates and/or reputable Republican organizationsinvariousmedia which they endorse. This is dividingthepartyevenmore.
AREACHURCHES
And,tofurtherdisassociate themselves from others who may disagree with their resolutions they have gone so far as to attack our local RepublicanWomen'sClubsby no longer allowing them to serve as volunteers at the Republican headquarters, even banning some club members from entering the premises, and have openly condemned the Republican Voters of Texas PAC for distributing voter guides and other materials that support local Republican candidates. MembersoftheCECandtheir selected candidates have even been regularly attending various club meetings and haveintimidatedmembersand speakers and caused disruptionsatthemeetings.Thisisan example of some more of the same Democratic tactics that have been used against PresidentTrump.
According to the CEC's website their “Mission Statement” the Montgomery County Republican Party is “ committed to honoring God by exhibiting the highest levels of honesty, integrity, and accountability …” Do they really believe they are exhibiting these characteristics especially after all the slander and gossip they have used against Representative Metcalf and his family? It is no wonder Metcalf's motto this year is Make Lying WrongAgain!.” Italsoseems very hypocritical to state they arehonoringGodbyusingHis church building to host meetings and “Party Conventions as a front with the slander, gossiping, and use of intimidation and harassment tactics, (or just plain dirty politics ) taking place I wonder if the parishioners are in agreement with this or if they really know what is happening.
As an example, I personally witnessed their intimidation firsthand when the CEC leadership changed the publicized time for the candidatemeetingtoanearlier time making sure the representativestheywantedto attend were aware of the new time, when others were not. They sent out information about the change in a manner thatwaseasilyaccessibletoall the representatives after having it in written form during the elections One elderly lady in particular that did not have access to the Internet came to register that morning for the meeting with her printed invitation and credentials in hand. She had received the printed information showing the specified timeforthemeetingduringher precinct meeting, but she was denied entrance. She had not received the on-line message with the change of times, and the CEC representative at the door would not allow her or herotherlegitimatecandidates to enter the meeting because the “Vice Chair” had already started the meeting This outrightrefusaltoletherenter was not an example of what could be considered being a Christian, especially when it resulted with the lady in tears
thinking she let down the voters in her precinct. Instead of allowing her to take her rightful place in the meeting, thepersonatthedoor'sactions intimidated and publicly embarrassed her as she was sent to another room to “get permission” from one of the CEC's organizers. (Jesus ran the “money changers” out of the temple, I wonder how he wouldhaveviewedthis.)
And furthermore, taking a quote from the “anonymous” authorofaLettertotheEditor in the January 14 2026 Montgomery County News (https://montgomerycountyne ws net/dont-california-ourt e x a
mouthpiece-republicanwomen-p14121-92 htm)
“Contrary to the message of courage and engaging in open dialog, and free debate that Turning Point USA President Charlie Kirk died for, this organization (referencing the North Shore Republican Women's Organization) openly and hypocritically claims to “Promote Republican Party candidates by keepingmembersinformedof all campaigns.” His letter is just another example of the
innuendos being spread by a so-called proponent of the CEC Leadership team s candidate. The North Shore R
organization does abide by
organizationdoesnotpromote one Republican Candidate above another They do promote “all” of the Republican Candidates after the primary elections have taken place and the Republican Candidatesareselectedforthe ballot. TheNSRW'sorganization recognizes all elected officials and candidates at each meeting, and funding is provided to those candidates who have been selected to be on the ballot, especially those w
c opponents Each year the NSRW hosts a Candidate Forum open to the public whichprovidesanopportunity forallcandidateswhowishto participate to address the votersofMontgomeryCounty so the voters can make their own decisions. This year the forum was put on by three of the Republican Women's OrganizationsinMontgomery County and the opposition candidate along with Representative Metcalf participated But unfortunately,oneoftheagreedupon parameters of the event was brokenbyoneoftheopposing candidate's supporters at the event when he yelled “Traitor!” during Representative Metcalf's speech. Does this lack of respect by the supporter represent the “integrity” of the opposing candidate?
accusations, the President of theNSRW,whoisdefinitelya “True Republican ” always acknowledges both elected officials and candidates at each event, especially if they have signed in at the registration table Various elected
officials and other special guestsareaskedtopresentthe pledges, lead in prayers and are sometimes asked to be guest speakers which is a practiceoftheCECandisused by many organizations. This does not mean that the organization or its leader is a “mouthpiece” for any certain candidate,itjustshowsrespect for our elected officials.

Withthatsaid,itismyhope thatthevotersofMontgomery County will use their own criticalthinkingskillstodothe research on all the candidates in the upcoming election(s) and not depend on or be swayed by the unjustified opinions, slander and gossip that has been put forward by others. God gave all of us a brain, His Spirit gives us a sense of what is right and wrong, Jesus modeled His Commandments for us to live by and Charlie Kirk's legacy remindsusthatweeachshould be able to express our own opinions in an appropriate manner,andthatbyusingfacts based on truth, not innuendos and gossip to try to persuade otherstounderstandourpoints ofview,butalwaysrespectthe other'sopinions.Weallneedto do this to help us come together as a unified party HopefullythecurrentCECcan review their true purpose of providingvotingintegrityand letthecandidatesdotheirown politicking. Help us to truly grow our Republican Party insteadofalienatingthosewho support our Republican ideals (even if they were a Republican from California or other state and those who have decided to leave the Democratic Party Many of us may have at one time or another voted for someone in a different party before making the commitment to be a True Republican ) That's how Trumpwonhiselection!
