Texas Billionaires Backing Bo French Republican Nominee for Railroad Commission

June 8, 2026

Bo French, the racist who won the Republican primary for Texas Railroad Commission is being funded by former CCISD Trustee Scott Bowen’s Billionaire buddies out of North Texas and they are spending a lot of money!

Follow me for a bit because there is some shady shit going on. Bo French, the republican nominee for Railroad Commissioner who is mired in controversy over his racist posts, has raised $2.1 Million for his race. Of this $1.6 Million comes from two individuals, Farris Wilks, and Timothy Dunn, the two billionaires from North Texas who where featured on CNN, “How two Texas megadonors have turbocharged the state’s far-right shift“.

Both have contributed to a number of PACs supporting French including the PAC Texas Freedom Fund for the Advancement of Justice and Texans United for a Conservative Majority PAC. Texans United for a Conservative Majority PAC. used to be the Defend Texas Liberty PAC until the management was caught meeting with Nick Fuentes, a known holocaust denier. Both of these PACs are funded by the two billionaires. These two donated to Bowen’s candidates who ran for the CCISD board. They gave Pete Lauzon $5000 to run. They gave another candidate $5000 but she returned it.

Texas United for a Conservative Majority (Defend Texas Liberty) gave French $100,000. Since changing their name they raised $15.5 Million with $14.7 million coming from Bowen’s Billionaire Buddies Farris Wilks and Timothy Dunn.

The PAC Texas Freedom Fund for the Advancement of Justice gave French $923,000. This PAC was created in 2020 and since has raised $16.5 Million. Of this Dunn donated $9.6 Million. Wilks donated $4.7 Million.

Another new PAC Texas Conservative Voters donated $400,0000 to French. This PAC was created in 2026 and raised $500,000 from two individuals. Luke and Timothy Dunn. Go figure.

Besides being a fucking racist, French is going to be Scott Bowen’s Billionaire Buddies Bitch.


Who is Bo French and Why it’s Important to Know

June 7, 2026

Sweet Fancy Moses!

Bo French is the former Tarrant County Republican Chair. He isn’t the most popular chair even amongst Republicans, in fact many have called for his resignation for his many racist comments and social media posts. The Texas Tribune wrote a detailed report on Bo prior to the Republican primary yet he still won running on deporting 100 million people from the United States. Even Lt. Governor Dan Patrick, Mr Extreme Far Right, has distanced himself from Bo. This guy is sick. Truly a UFO, Unqualified For Office, yet Republicans still want him as the representative of the Party for Railroad Commissioner.

Deporting 100 people from the US and attacking Jews and Muslims have nothing to do with the office of Texas Railroad Commission. The TRC actually regulates the oil industry to make sure they are not extracting oil while polluting the surrounding environment. The TRC makes sure the industry is making money but in a responsible manner. It has nothing to do with being a full blown racist mother f***er.

Besides being a racist mother f***er, Bo is running on being a part of the “Nuclear family” while being divorced from his wife. Much like Paxton that is actually a plus in the eyes of the Republican voters. Luckily Republican voters have lost all sense of moral values. They are groping in the dark looking for their moral compass and don’t really care if they ever find it. To them Bo is a winner, as is Paxton, and Trump. Bo likes to tout his “nuclear family” yet his wife is either taking this picture or has divorced his ass.

Here are a few jewels attributed to Bo:

Why the Texas Secretary of State Resigned

June 6, 2026

She may be a snake but she is not stupid.

I had a run in with Senator Jane Nelson, not physically but through the Texas Ethics Commission. I believe I caught her funneling her donors money through her husband’s company to buy a condo. Buying property with your donors money is not allowed in Texas. My complaint was the second time she was caught. You can read the details here but the results of the 2 year investigation is considered “confidential” and hidden from the public.

So why is she resigning? If you haven’t paid attention to the Secretary of State, and most of Texans don’t, it is clear what is going on. It is my belief Greg Abbott is expecting an ass kicking in November. Maybe not for his race but for his MAGAt Party and he has to do something to make it difficult to vote and limit turnout. What better way to do this than to remove people from the voting records. Or maybe takeover the large county’s voting process. Or maybe do something illegal which could land the Secretary of State in criminal court waiting for a verdict and a pardon from Abbott or Trump.

Nelson doesn’t want her record of service ending in a much needed pardon. She began her political career in 1988 almost 40 years ago. To call her a professional politician is an understatement. She will be heavily compensated for her service to the State in retirement making more than most teachers will ever see and will have free healthcare for her and her husband, the guy she funneled money to to buy a condo. She needs to run away from being Secretary of State.

See Jane run. Run Jane. Run!


Who is Don Huffines and Why it’s Important to Know

June 5, 2026

He is one of the Texas Billionaires buying a State election and recently purchased the mansion formerly owned by Jeffery Epstein.

Don Huffines is a State Senator who used his billions of dollars to overwhelm the opposition in his election to the Senate. He has run for other offices such as Congress and even challenging Greg Abbott for Governor. He lost those elections. He is considered to be right of Abbott and wrong on his purpose for running. He is now the Republican nominee for Texas Comptroller running on ending Sharia Law and putting the Jesus back into the Jesus F***ing Christ.

Like his other races the billionaire is self funding, spending millions to secure the nomination. His campaign finance reports for 2025-2026 tell a partial story. He raised a total of $7.1 Million with $3.5 million from his own pocket. But he also has a $15 Million outstanding loan from himself. He will be able to flood the media with this kind of money much like Senator Money Mayes Middleton did in the Bay Area. He also received $1 Million from a Georgia PAC, Protect Freedom. To call them a far right PAC is an insult to the far right. Moving any far right they will fall off the edge of the flat earth.

Huffines has $15 million cash on hand which is about $14 Million more than he needs. Most people don’t know what the Comptroller does including me but know this, a extreme far right multibillionaire is using his money to win the seat.


From a Constituent. Who is Mayes Middleton?

June 1, 2026

I’ve lived in Senate District 11 which covers parts of Harris County, Brazoria, and Galveston since 1981. I can tell you a thing or two about Mayes Middleton, his money problems, his racist comments, and his lack of attention to the district.

Money Mayes Middleton Money Problems
Middleton has a habit of self financing his campaigns. He spent $2 million of his own money to win a primary for House District 32. He spent another $2 million of his own money to win the Senate race. Now he is poised to spend $50 million for his race for Attorney General. In just the year 2026 he has raised $8.9 Million with $5.8 Million coming from his own pocket. Needless to say Mayes is wealthy and entitled to the position. He has enough money to self finance and will spend whatever it takes to win. Ask Congressman Chip Roy.

His Racist Comments
Mayes has a problem with the Asian community. In 2025 he posted about State Representative Gene Wu, a Chinese American representing the Houston area. When contacted about the tweet by Click2Houston he ignored them. Others were clearly not happy:

“Senator Middleton represents a very diverse population in the Bay Area,” the group said. “The state does not need an individual running for the highest legal office in the state who spouts off racist comments. Middleton claims to be a conservative and devout Christian but making racist comments are neither a conservative value nor a Christian value.”

Missing in Action
Ever since being elected to office Middleton has been missing in action. He has never held a town hall meeting with this constituents. He has only addressed the business community, extreme right wing religious organizations, and republican party gatherings. Mayes sat on the Business and Commerce Committee responsible for oversight of the Insurance Industry. His claim to fame is stopping a modest 10% increase requested by the Texas Windstorm Insurance Association (TWIA) leaving the tax payers to pay for any future claims. Others in the Bay Area have been hammered by the rising cost of insurance with increases of 50% or more and companies refusing to insure properties.

Legislature Failures
Instead of working to lower the cost of living in the Bay Area or supporting our public schools Mayes spent his time to force teachers to place posters of the 10 Commandments in their classrooms and posters that say “In God we Trust” all while our schools are starved for cash. He supported the school Voucher scam that provided billions in tax dollars going to private schools. He is a Christian Nationalist and will continue to force his version of Christianity on others. Middleton voted to put guns into the hands of those who shouldn’t have them resulting a a horrible school shooting in Uvalde. Along with his Christian values, he loves guns and giving easy access to them.

At least Mayes hasn’t had an affair or has been impeached. If he did he would be a shoe in for the Texas Attorney General’s position.


MAGAts Crush Texas Conservatives and Secures Control of the GOP

May 27, 2026

Conservatives have lost their home.

MAGAts up and down the ballot have dominated the Texas GOP primary except for one or two candidates. Senator John Cornyn was absolutely trampled by Ken Paxton 63-37. It was so bad, many called the race once early votes were posted. This was a good old fashioned ass whopping especially after Cornyn spent his last few months ass kissing to Trump, all for naught. Trump is no dummy. He saw the polls He endorsed Paxton. He didn’t want to look like the loser he is.

In other races Money MAGAt Mayes Middleton won the runoff for Texas Attorney General running on wiping out Sharia Law wherever it exists, even though it doesn’t exist anywhere. To Money, Muslims are the new Mexicans ripe for the attack. If elected Middleton will be just another ass kisser to Trump. At least he hasn’t been impeached or been caught porking someone besides his wife. Yet.

Bo French won the primary for Texas Railroad Commissioner. French ran on bashing Muslims and Jews as if the RRC has anything to do with Muslim or Jewish issues, but joining Money Mayes on bashing Muslims works for MAGAts. He was condemned by Republican leaders across the board many calling for his resignation including Lt Governor Dan Patrick. French has an interesting background, almost losing his Chair of the Tarant County Republican Party due to his Muslim and Jewish bashing. Like Paxton he is a true MAGAt conservative pictured with his 20 kids on his website with his wife taking the picture or being out of the picture. (She is out.) French is a MAGAt. A true, bigoted, racist, divorced, MAGAt.

Locally new comer Richard Vega, another true, born again, MAGAt won his primary for Harris County Commissioner. His primary opponent tried unsuccessfully to highlight his gang banging past but as I said he is born again and that, according to Christians, absolves him from any wrongdoing. Luckily he is a MAGAt. MAGAts just don’t care about your past, unless you are a Democrat.

Orlando Sanchez, another Mexican MAGAt, won his primary for Harris County Judge. Sanchez used his own money for this primary. The party was hoping for an upset with Annise Parker losing. She did. I expect tens of millions to be spent on this race on behalf of Sanchez. Unlike others Sanchez doesn’t have a strong connection to the MAGAt party or to Trump. Maybe he is taking the advice of former Judge Ed Emmett and keeping his head down, shutting the fuck up, and running like a true conservative.

And let’s not forget Scott Bowen, the youngest, voucher loving, living with his mom, MAGAt on the ballot running for State Representative. You can find all you want about him here. It is a long read.

These are just a few examples of who Texans have to vote for and what the Republican Party has become. The MAGAts of Texas have crushed the Conservatives in the party. Its conservative values of local control, fiscal responsibility, strong on crime, yada yada, have been replaced by bigotry, fiscal stupidity, and mass pardons for criminals.

This is Trump’s party now.


Socialist to be the Keynote Speaker at the Texas Democratic Convention

May 19, 2026

Nothing scares the shit out of an independent voter like a socialist.

Bernie Sanders, the 84 year old socialist will be the Keynote Speaker at the Texas Democratic Convention in Corpus Christi this summer. Look for the Republican Party to make HEY! out of this. Texas Monthly has already chimed in.

Dave Carney, top Greg Abbott strategist and proud New Englander, gleefully retweeted Democrats throughout the week. “Best news this week!” he wrote when the party announced that Sanders would come to the convention.

Unlike California, Statewide candidates running in the Democratic Party in Texas cannot win an election with only Democratic voters. Ask all the candidates that have run over the last 25 years. They, we, need the help of those so called “swing” voters and they are easily scared. They look for any excuse to hold their nose and vote for a felon like they did in 2024 instead of voting for an intelligent well qualified woman. Democrats love to give them excuses not to vote for Democrats. Having Bernie Sanders as the keynote speaker of the Texas Democratic Party Convention might be that excuse they need in November.

I expect Sanders to do what he does best when he takes the stage. The 84 year old socialist will talk about the unattainables such as free healthcare, free college, free transportation. These are issues he has championed for over 40 years and has made little if any progress. His Medicare for all, or single payer, or universal healthcare bill was filed and failed after the budget office put a $30 Trillion price tag on it. This is his problem. He has these unattainable ideas but is not capable of selling the idea to Congress, to the party he doesn’t belong to, or the consumers. It’s not whether the ideas are good or not it’s that he can’t make progress on the issues he is selling. Instead of making false promises he ought to work to make progress.

Bernie, like the other far left folks (The Squad), lacks legislature victories. In his 40+ years in Congress he has passed 3 bills, renaming buildings. The Squad isn’t much better. Over the last 4 years The Squad consisting of Alexandria Ocasio Cortez, Cory Bush, Ilhan Omar, Ayanna Presley, Jamaal Bowman, and Rashida Harbi Tlaib have filed a total of 290 bills, passing only 4. 3 of these bills renamed buildings. (Bowman and Bush are no longer in Congress)

But regardless of his inability to make progress the 84 year old socialist will be the keynote speaker at the Texas Democratic Party Convention. Personally I wish they had booked AOC. At the very least she is a Democrat. We are expected to do well in Texas elections. We might even win a state wide race if we can give the easily frightened independents good reasons to vote for us. Bernie Sanders is not one of these reasons.

If you are going to the Convention you might want to use this bingo card for Bernie’s speech. The winning card will be the one with no squares covered.


Seabrook Runoff and Who to Run Off.

May 16, 2026

Thank god for La Marque.

La Marque has been in the news quite a bit because of one single council member causing chaos with unsubstantiated claims of corruption, lawlessness, criminality and calls for unnecessary and costly “forensic audits”. Seabrook, on the other hand, escaped this chaos a few years ago electing a new Mayor and Council Members dedicated to being a bit boring, doing the job, and providing services for the community. This is exactly what every elected official should be doing especially in non partisan races. Fortunately the voters of La Marque ran off the Council Members wife in their recent election, but….there is a runoff coming June 13 in Seabrook.

Seabrook voters have a chance to stay out of the news with competent, non partisan, leadership. This election pits Aaron McGuire against Bryon Hanssen. Aaron is associated with the Save Seabrook group, one that is trying to save Seabrook from whatever they can make up like unsubstantiated claims of corruption, lawlessness, criminality and calls for unnecessary and costly “forensic audits”. Back in May of 2025 the Save Seabrook candidates didn’t fare well:

The candidates of the Save Seabrook (SS) Squad were enjoying spicy crawfish at The Barge on election night, at least for a little while. In the end all but one lost. Angela Cervantes is the only SS candidate that won her seat on City Council. Jackie Rasco lost. J.P. Byers lost. Kyra Burton lost. Chris Hues lost. I really didn’t see this coming and I bet they didn’t appreciate the guy in the corner playing WOMP WOMP on his trombone.

Angela was the only successful candidate. Her time, so far, on Council could be more productive but adding another SS Council Member will not help. Calling for unnecessary and expensive forensic audits, as former Councilman Joe Machol has demanded will not move the city forward.

Voters should consider Saving Seabrook from chaos.


La Marque Councilman Police Reports on Pigs

May 14, 2026

There are multiple reports. This one is looney.

An open records request for the copies of police reports filed by La Marque City Councilman Joseph Lowry resulted in a 122 page document. You can review all the reports filed for the last two years by Lowry here. Some of these reports are petty, funny, and disturbing. For instance report #23-00128 filed on 1/21/23. Lowry called in a terroristic threat. Somehow that was classified as an “Attempted Suicide”. Officer A.Skaggs with the La Marque Police Department handled the incident which was eventually closed. You can read the report below.

According to the report Lowry had received a letter with a picture of pigs eating and the caption “Lowery’s Family”. It was mailed from the Houston area from “The citizens of La Marque”. Obviously someone was comparing Lowry and his wife to pigs, which is an insult to pigs, a crime in itself. But clearly it was nothing more than an insult. Lowry called the police because he believed it was a threat because people feed pigs dead people. (I’m not making this up) Lowry demanded that the letter be put into evidence and processed for finger prints. Lowry also requested DNA to be collected and processed as well as a forensic audit of the Post Office because they are all criminals. (ok. That last sentence I made up)

The police stated he was hog tied and unable to spend significant time on his case but will continue the investigation when pigs fly. He suggested that Lowry should not go pig wild in his attempt to make a pigs ear out of something. He also stated there are a number of other police reports and he could piggy back on one of those. Lowry continued to squeal like a stuck pig and was last seen at the all you can eat salad bar.

OK. That last paragraph was also made up. Read the 122 page document here. There are a number of disturbing reports that should be read.


La Marque Council Member Settles Lawsuit

May 8, 2026

At least partially.

There was a suit, Case #24-CV-2218) filed against Council Member Joseph Lowry by a number of individuals including Council Member Kim Yancy, former Council Member Jim Ross, CJ Beard, and Walter Burt an owner of a construction company. According to documents posted to the Galveston County website Burt has settled his portion of the suit. The details have not been disclosed. The others have not settled and the Judge has set trial date of May 18.

The original petition against Lowry includes defamations, harassment, unauthorized disclosure of private facts, intentional infliction of emotional distress, and stalking. (sounds familiar?) In 2022 Lowry settled a suit against Kim Yancy. Count six of the new suit includes “Breach of Contract against Kimberley Yancy”. Lowry was sued for harassment by Council Member Yancy resulting in an agreement to refrain from threatening or harassing comments that would give rise to criminal action on social media, newspapers, and any media outlet not explicitly stated herein. Galveston County Case # 22-CV-0993. He violated that agreement.

This should be interesting to watch Lowry take the stand under oath and defend his actions. In a civil trial a defendant must take the stand to defend themself. If they decide not to then the jury can assume the allegations are true. Trial is set for May 18, 2026 in Galveston. Breakfast will be at 9:00.


A Prayer for the Republican Day of Prayer

May 7, 2026

Oh Lord  Let us prey.
Let us prey on the poor for they cannot afford to eat.
Let us prey on the sick for they cannot afford insurance.
Let us prey on the Hispanics for they will be deported.
Let us prey on the Blacks for their lives do not matter.
Let us prey on the disabled for they are weak.
Let us prey on the Muslims for they are now targets of hate
Let us prey on the Immigrants for they do not belong here.
Let us prey on the police as we flood the streets with guns.

And oh Lord
Let us prey on the supporters of the Republican Party for they are too ignorant to know we are preying on them too.

In your holy name we prey.


BOLO Issued for Republican Officials in the Bay Area

May 7, 2026

Where in the world is our representation?

Republicans have been in power in Texas for over 30 years with complete control of the Governorship, House, and Senate for the last 22 years. Yet I cannot remember one single time our elected officials in the Bay Area met with their constituents except when they have spoken to the business community. This includes Members of Congress and State officials.

Congressman Brian Babin, age 78, was elected in 2014 and has never met with his constituents. Senator Mayes Middleton has been in office for 8 years. State Representative Dennis Paul has been in office for 10 years. Neither have met with their constituents. Both Middleton and Paul set on committees responsible for home insurance. If they had met with those they represent they would have understood that home insurance in the Bay Area is out the roof and out of control. Instead they did nothing. I have seen Paul walking his dog in the green belt more times than I have seen him addressed those he represents. (The first time was right after the Uvalde shootings. It did not go well.)

NASA is in Babin’s district. You would think with all the turmoil, cuts, and lack of focus Babin would have met with those who work in the industry, at the very least. Instead he has his lips sewn to the ass of Trump, following along, and doing nothing to stop the insanity of his administration, the cuts to NASA, or the high cost of living in the district.

If you see any of our elected officials please call 1-800-IAM-LOST.


La Marque’s Runoff, and Who They Ran Off

May 6, 2026

City Councilman Joe Compian and his challenger Sade Williams will be in a run off for La Marque City Council District B. Both received 56 votes. The runoff will be sometime in June. Compian, a sitting Councilman, only received 35% of the vote with 65% of all voters supporting someone else. The next election will be between two candidates, not four. This should concern Compian. If I was going to advise Compian I would tell him to put some distance between himself and Councilman Lowry. As I have said in the past Lowry and his wife are as popular as herpes at a hot tub party. Speaking of his wife…

La Marque has a runoff in June, but on May 2 voters ran off Sarah Lowry, the wife of Councilman Joseph Lowry. Lowry was a candidate for District D and was crushed by 53 points with 55 voters in District D voting for her. 55?!?!? Really? Getting runoff by 53 points is sad but getting 55 votes for someone with the baggage of her husband’s child like attitude is really sad!

But the good news is that Tonia Griffin returns to Council. Good luck to Compian and Williams in the runoff.


Has Bowen’s Billionaire Buddies Given Up on Controlling CCISD?

May 5, 2026

I think so.

Both incumbents Arturo Sanchez and Jamieson Mackay have retained their seats on the CCISD School Board. Arturo absolutely hammered his opponent, Gabriel Gutierrez who was recruited by former Trustee Scott Bowen. He lost 1122 to 209. That was an incredible ass whipping. Jamieson beat Ernest A. Hallman II by 458-190. This is the first election for many years where outside of the district money was not a factor.

In previous elections Scott Bowen raised money from a PAC called Defend Texas Liberty. They were funded by two billionaires out of Dallas until the leadership was caught with Nick Fuentes, a holocaust denier. They have since changed the PAC name to  Texans United for a Conservative Majority. This year there was no outside money and that was good. Maybe the partisan attack on our school board is finally over.

CCISD School Board is not a place for partisan politics or unlimited money from billionaires who are outside of the district. With Scott off the board and Sanchez and Mackay returning our board continues to be out of the news and moving forward on behalf of the students, teachers, parents, and tax payers.

And that is good!


Who is Albert Wittliff and Why You Might Want to Know

May 5, 2026

The video to the left tells it all.

Albert Wittliff is running for State Representative in the Bay Area, House District 129. I recently wrote “Bay Area’s Texas House District 129 and Why It’s Important to You” if you want to take a few minutes to read. I recently attended an event for Albert and took this 16 minute video of his introduction. The video could be better but Albert is spot on. I think you would agree that he has the experience to do the job, is very articulate, and has the ability to negotiate which is what Representatives do. He covers a number of topics that are important to the Bay Area.

Albert is running against former Trustee Scott Bowen. Our district has been represented by the Republican Party for over 30 years and Scott believes he is the apparent heir to this throne. Unfortunately Scott has a disturbing political past as documented here. He is one of the worst candidates to run for this office with little if any political skills. As a Trustee he brought political chaos to the School Board. He recruited candidates to challenge sitting board members and raised thousands of out of district money from extremist billionaires out of Dallas. Now his campaign is being funded by out of district PACs including Texans United for a Conservative Majority which is funded by Bowen’s Billionaire Buddies. Take a minute to read about Scott here.

The district deserves better. In over 30 years our elected officials have NEVER met with their constituents, with us. Albert will change that. With home insurance out the roof and the cost of living in the Bay Area skyrocketing we need competent leadership, no matter which party they are from.

The elections is in November. BTW I have donated and volunteered for Albert.


La Marque Councilman Caught on Camera. Again

May 1, 2026

It’s Joseph Lowry. Again in an expletive exchange with a citizen.

You can watch the videos of Lowry and his wife approaching Harvey Freebird, a 1st Amendment Auditor. Decide for yourself if this man and wife are worthy of being elected officials. Joseph is currently on city council. His wife is running for council. That election is May 2. She puts her two cents in the third video. This is not the first time he was recorded spewing profanity. Actually this isn’t even the second time. It is his third. From Galveston County Daily News:

Some on city council say Councilman Joseph Lowry failed to embody the spirit of his constituents Monday night when he was caught on camera hurling insults, obscene gestures and threatening to fight a man who was recording police at a crash scene.

He then attacked a reporter from the Houston Chronicle after being questioned about $43,000 in back taxes that he failed to pay. He eventually paid most of his taxes but he has been sued again for back taxes, case # 26-TX-0085.

“I don’t owe anybody any money,” councilman Joseph Lowry said to the Galveston County Daily News. “But good job. You’re a piece of s—. You’re a f—— maggot. And you’ll get what’s coming to you.”

And once again, he has been caught on video. These are posted to Facebook:

OMG. Damning Document on Brian Goetschius Running for Texas City Commissioner.

April 30, 2026
From Galveston Daily News

OMG is about right.

A very interesting document from an open records request to the Kemah Police Department has shed some revealing light on former Detective Brian Goetschius who is now running for Texas City Commission. This request concerned a grievance filed against the Kemah Police Chief Holland Jones by Officer Jeremy Blanchard back in 2022.

Within the document titled “Chief Jones Response to Officer Blanchard” provided by the Chief was a transcription of a conversation between Jones and the “world-renown” Detective Brian Goetschius concerning Jones property being taken by Goetschius, being caught on multiple videos, lying to Jones, and eventually leading to his resignation from the Kemah Police Force. This conversation was in Oct of 2021. The transcript can be found here starting on page 16 and running through page 30. It is pretty damning with Jones making a deal with Goetschius for an honorable discharge after he resigns. Goetschius was concerned about retaining his healthcare as many of us would be. I am assuming if he was fired he would have lost his healthcare and pension. He eventually resigned.

The 15 pages of the transcript is pretty bad. It is hard to read since Goetschius was caught, on video, taking property that did not belong to him. He also was given the opportunity to come clean and didn’t. It seems that Jones was very irritated about Goetschius lying to him. Again you can read the transcript here starting on page 15. Here are a few clips from that transcript.


Another Impersonation Concerning La Marque City Councilman

April 30, 2026

BTW. Lowry does NOT like people who impersonate others online such as Derrick Miller in Texas City who was charged with creating a fake Joseph Lowry Facebook page. All charges were eventually dropped. Let’s connect some dots.

Filing fake DBA’s. In October of 2025 I wrote “La Marque Councilman Files Suspicious DBAs” about Joseph Lowry filing an official county document “Assumed Name Record Certificate of Ownership for Unincorporated Business or Profession”, in other words, a DBA (Doing Business As). He filed two DBA’s. One under K Yancy (as in Councilman Kimberly Yancy) and one under M Salazar (as in Mandalynn Salazar). He filed both of these on 2/24/22. Lowry has a history of harassing both of these individuals.

Filing a Tax Rollback petition and PAC. In early 2022 Lowry filed a tax rollback petition. Also during that time an employee of his, Sarah Daugherty, now his wife, created a Political Action Committee titled Galveston County Connects PAC (Filer ID 00086188) to raise money for the rollback effort. What is interesting is that Mandalynn Salazar had created a Facebook page conveniently titled Galveston County Connects in June of 2019. It seems that Lowry did this on purpose to hijack her page.

Raising Money. During the tax recall drive Galveston County Connects PAC raised about $11,000. $5000 came from MSW Investment Group and $5,000 came from former Council Member Robert Michetich. Filing DBA’s with someone else’s name and without the consent of the individual is against the law. Intentionally or knowingly filing a fraudulent official document with the county is against the law. (see pic to the left) Salazar filed a complaint with the police concerning the fraudulent DBA.

Using the DBAs of K Yancy and/or M Salazar to raise money is against the law. Creating a PAC that just so happens to look like an active Facebook page to raise money may be cute, and funny, but coupled with the above, might be quite interesting to County Officials. What it looks like is that Lowry was attempting to confuse voters claiming K Yancy, M Salazar, and Salazar’s Facebook group was in support of the tax rollback. Is that legal?


Senator Middleton, Councilman Lowry, and Arrest Warrants

April 29, 2026

An update from yesterday’s post Arrest Warrants Issued in Texas City Concerning Elections.

As stated, an arrest warrant has been issued for Bryan Adam Rivera, President of a campaign services company which was involved in a number of local campaigns. He has been charged with “Coercion Against Candidacy”. According to the Galveston Daily News the charge is concerning threats made to influence the Texas City Commissioner District 2 race. This charge could be a misdemeanor or a felony based upon a number of factors. There is another investigation ongoing concerning the failed recalled effort of Texas City Mayor Dedrick Johnson. Rivera was involved in that campaign and significant issues have been reported to the Texas City Police. Rivera is the President of Hometown Solutions, or Hometown Strategies, or Texas Hometown Strategies. It is difficult to determine who is funding THS on the local level since there is no central location for campaign finance reports.

On the State level THS received $452,187 since being created in 2022. This includes $37,761 from Senator Mayes Middleton for his run for Senate. Abel Longoria who ran for State Representative in the Galveston area gave $53,165 for campaign services. Senator Schwertner, known for sending dick pics to a student, gave $79,998. Those are the big expenditures for local elections. You can see all the expenditures below.

La Marque City Councilman Joesph Lowry seems to be involved. According to the Galveston Daily News:

Texas Hometown Strategies previously was paid by a political action committee linked to La Marque City Councilman Joseph Lowry. Lowry once disclosed an invoice showing a $45,000 payment to the firm for its work on one recall drive, but later said he had falsified the invoice and lied about it.

As always it’s seems like a game to Lowry. This $45,000 was in reference to the tax recall which Lowry spearheaded. This recall passed and shortly afterward he was elected to City Council and the circus show began. As I said before it is difficult to find information about expenditures on third party companies providing campaign services. This particular project is no exception.

If this investigation of Homeland Strategies deepens I am sure there will be light on exactly who has been buying their services.

Arrest Warrants Issued in Texas City Concerning Elections

April 28, 2026

Bryan Adam Rivera

UPDATE: According to I45now this warrant is NOT concerning the failed recall of the Texas City Mayor. That investigation is ongoing. From I45Now:

Bryan Rivera, a former City of Texas City emergency management employee turned political consultant, faces a criminal charge of attempting to influence the Texas City Commissioner District 2 race by making threats against candidate David Zacherl.

Bare with me…no wait…Bear with me. This is VERY interesting!

There is an arrest warrant issued by the Galveston County Sheriff’s office for a Bryan Adam Rivera. Who is Bryan Adam Rivera? Bryan is the President of Texas Hometown Solutions an Austin based company that provides services in support of recall petitions including the failed recall of Texas Ctiy’s Mayor, Dedrick Johnson. Dolph Tillotson had this to say about them in his op-ed titled “Texas City voters should be skeptical about recall effort” in the Galveston County News:

Texas Hometown Solutions is a paid political canvassing company that, under the name Texas Hometown Strategies, has been involved in three other change efforts in the county over the past few years — a mayoral recall and tax rollback in La Marque and a mayoral recall in Dickinson, said Bryan Rivera, president of operations.

I’ve written about this group before. According to the Sheriff’s Wanted website Bryan has been charged with “Coercion Against Candidacy”. As you might recall the recall petition against Texas City Mayor, which Texas Hometown Solutions was involved in, was being investigated by the Texas City Police Department for fraud as reported by the Galveston Daily News in Aug of 2025. The article, “Bid to recall Texas City mayor probed over fraud, forgery claims” can be found here. This charge is defined by Texas law as the following:

The investigation by the Texas City Police Department was eventually passed on to the Galveston County District Attorney’s Office with affidavits of forgery, signatures of deceased people and other improprieties. This must be serious since the DA’s office would not charge or issue an arrest warrant without cause.

Details about the charges will come later.
