RVTX Gets "Censured": Know The Facts

Have you ever had something used against you over and over to discredit you? Sling half-truths, leave out key facts, and weaponize the narrative? It happens to the best of us, especially in the world of politics.


Republican Voters of Texas PAC is exactly what it says: a PAC (Political Action Committee). We were founded in 2018 out of a genuine love for our community and a desire to promote COMMON SENSE Conservatism in a political climate that was increasingly lacking it.


In response to our freedom to form a PAC, a small faction of Montgomery County Republican Party precinct chairs voted to censure us for using the word Republican in our name. Pretty absurd, right? Republicans being condemned for using the word “Republican.”


About that Resolution…

In June 2019, at the Montgomery County Republican Executive Committee meeting, just 22 members of an almost 100-member committee narrowly passed a resolution condemning Republican Voters of Texas PAC. The resolution claimed the Party “condemn[s] and denounce[s]” our PAC and demanded we “cease and desist” using the word Republican.


Here's the full story:


1) IT WAS A SURPRISE RESOLUTION

It was NOT submitted two weeks in advance as required by the rules. No notice. No transparency.


2) IT WAS STRATEGICALLY TIMED

The vote took place in June when many precinct chairs were on vacation. Only 46 attended. Of those, 22 voted in favor, 15 opposed, and 6 abstained.


3) It attacked lifelong Republicans by name.

The resolution falsely charged our PAC with “supporting Democrats.” An absurd allegation against lifelong Republicans with strong conservative roots and voting records.


4) It claimed we could not use the word “Republican.” A claim with zero authority behind it.


5) The author of the Resolution?

Jon Bouche, who at the time, was a candidate running for Republican County Chairman.


This action was immediately reprimanded by County Chair Dr. Wally Wilkerson AND by State Republican Chairman James Dickey, who both affirmed that the Montgomery County Executive Committee had no authority to determine who may use the term “Republican" but this reprimand was ignored.


Chairman Dickey reiterated publicly that the word Republican is free for use and protected unless someone is infringing on registered trademarks.

It’s bad enough that County Executive Committee ("CEC") meetings were tied up with this kind of nonsense instead of focusing on the real business that moves our Republican Party forward.


But the misinformation didn’t stop there. This small faction took the "RVTX has been CENSURED by the Montgomery County Republican Party" narrative and ran with it, even spending money to print signs and place them at polling locations.

And if history is any indication, we fully expect to see those same yellow signs in the March 2026 Primary, once again trying to mislead voters. These antics aren't productive. It only takes the focus off the REAL goals: turning out the vote and supporting our Republican candidates.


At the end of the day, FACTS MATTER and nothing good will ever come from Republicans attacking Republicans.


Need-to-Know Extras


Censure

A severe, public reprimand of an official. While it does not remove someone from office, it creates the appearance of wrongdoing and is often used as a political weapon.


The Current Problem: Divisive Tactics Harm the Party

In recent years, the CEC (made up of the County Chair and 113 Precinct Chairs) has become increasingly focused on:

  • Passing divisive resolutions

  • Attempting to remove people from office

  • Slandering qualified Republicans

  • Imposing ideological litmus tests

  • Promoting far-right mandates

  • Censuring elected officials for not obeying their agenda

  • Endorsing candidates despite not being a PAC

This behavior weakens the Republican Party and confuses voters.


What Republican Voters Can Do


The good news? We have the power to fix this.


Here’s how every voter can help strengthen the Montgomery County Republican Party:


1. Stay Connected

  • Share posts and comment

  • Check your spam folder for RVTX emails


2. Show Your Support

  • Wear RVTX shirts in public

  • Invite friends to follow RVTX


3. Get Involved

  • Consider running for Precinct Chair - elected during the primary election in even-numbered years and serve for two years.


  1. Join the RVTX Advisory Board

  2. Volunteer to work the polls

  3. Help with signage, supplies, and voter guides


4. Support Our Efforts

Our January fundraiser helps us educate voters, print materials, and vet candidates. But, donations are welcome any time! (We are not a pay-to-play PAC. We do not accept donations from candidates before vetting candidates and voting on endorsements.) This is what sets us apart from other PACs.


We Need Strong, Common-Sense Conservative Leaders


Montgomery County needs:

  • A strong County Chair who will put people over politics

  • Precinct Chairs who think for themselves and put Montgomery County voters FIRST.

  • Leaders who want to grow the Republican Party

  • Conservatives who care more about voters than political games

  • A commitment to unity, fairness, and integrity


RVTX is dedicated to being a trusted source for political information in Montgomery County. Our goal is simple: Give voters the facts so they can choose the best Republican candidates without manipulation, intimidation, or misinformation.


Working Together: The Only Way to Keep Montgomery County Red

The success of the Montgomery County Republican Party and our ability to keep our county red depends on a CEC that works together, follows the rules, respects voters, and stops weaponizing internal processes.


A strong Republican Party requires:


  • Transparency

  • Collaboration

  • Respect for diverse conservative voices

  • A commitment to putting people over politics


Montgomery County’s future depends on Republicans who are willing to do what’s right, not just what benefits a select few.


We appreciate every Republican voter who takes the time to learn, engage, and support the efforts to strengthen our Party. The future of Montgomery County depends on informed voters, not power-hungry factions.


Together, we can ensure that common-sense Conservatism remains strong in our community.


Together, we can keep Texas RED the right way, through truth, integrity, and unity.
