More Than 1.6 Million Texans Back Texas First Pledge Candidates in the 2026 Primary
In the March 2026 Republican primary, more than 1.6 million Texans voted for candidates who signed the Texas First Pledge, including a 57.4 percent win for Don Huffines in the Comptroller race.
More than 1.6 million Texans cast their ballots in the March 2026 Republican primary for candidates who had signed the Texas First Pledge, a permanent commitment to put Texas first in every decision of governance. That is roughly three out of every four primary voters.
Don Huffines won the Comptroller primary with 57.4 percent of the vote, and pledge signers held their ground across the ballot, with nine incumbents who had signed the pledge returned by their voters.
“The people of Texas keep saying the same thing at the ballot box,” said Daniel Miller, President of the Texas Nationalist Movement. “They want the right to decide their own future. The Texas First Pledge is how we hold the people we elect to that standard.”
The Texas First Pledge is apolitical and is not an endorsement. It is a standing commitment by officials and candidates to defend the right of Texans to govern themselves.
