A Grassroots Conservative Surge in Denton County
In the latest Denton County edition of Views & News, the publication dives into a growing grassroots movement fueling conservative momentum. The focus is on a bottom-up strategy that empowers citizens to reclaim local governance from elite control while advancing fiscal responsibility, border security, and religious liberty. With a population now topping one million, Denton County is framed as a hub of conservative activism where voters are organizing town halls, building trust, and demanding accountability in schools, economic freedom, and community safety.

“Contract with Texas” Reformers Take Center Stage
The issue highlights the “Contract with Texas” reformers, a coalition of state representatives, including Mitch Little (HD-65), Andy Hopper (HD-64), and others, committed to delivering on promises such as property tax relief, election integrity, and conservative priorities in the Texas House.

Mitch Little’s Scorecard, Wins Claimed, and Work Left Undone
Rep. Mitch Little’s article, Things Undone, reflects on the 89th legislative session’s accomplishments. These include passing the nation’s strongest ban on foreign hostile land ownership (SB 17), advancing bail reform for violent crimes, enacting a parents’ bill of rights (SB 12) to protect minors from social transitioning, restoring the Ten Commandments in schools, strengthening Second Amendment rights, investing in public education with school choice expansion, and special session wins such as adding Republican congressional seats and ending abortifacient drugs.

Next Session Priorities and the THC Crisis
Little outlines priorities for the next session, including banning taxpayer-funded lobbying, limiting school bond elections and municipal tax hikes to deliver long-term property tax relief, and confronting the THC crisis. He points to a 500 percent rise in child-related poison calls and calls for stronger enforcement against mislabeling and youth-targeted marketing.

Mayes Middleton’s Attorney General Bid and the Trump Factor
The newsletter spotlights Mayes Middleton’s campaign for Texas Attorney General, highlighting his record on designating drug cartels as terrorists, opposing Sharia law, protecting women’s spaces and sports, and banning Chinese land purchases. His campaign features an endorsement from Donald J. Trump praising his conservative voting record.

Trey’s Law, Victims First and NDAs on Notice
A major focus is Trey's Law, legislation aimed at protecting abuse victims by banning NDAs that silence survivors and increasing school accountability for misconduct. The issue includes local reporting from Celina ISD.

The Casino Mirage and Community Costs
The publication warns against casino expansion, challenging claims of economic benefit while detailing risks tied to addiction, crime, and long-term community decline.

America First Endorsements Shape the Ballot
Endorsements feature America First candidates including Brandon Gill for U.S. Congress (District 26), emphasizing border security and tax cuts; Don Huffines for Comptroller, backed by MAGA leaders to expose corruption and eliminate woke ideology; and Nate Sheets for Agriculture Commissioner, endorsed by Gov. Greg Abbott to strengthen food systems and rural economies.

Calling Out Waste and Structural Failure
Additional articles critique government inefficiency, including unexpended balances used during the Paxton impeachment, propose nationalizing Trey’s Law through Sen. Ted Cruz, and examine competing approaches to ending the property tax crisis by contrasting Gov. Abbott’s structural reforms with Lt. Gov. Patrick’s exemption-focused strategy.

Local Races That Decide Growth and Justice
Local contests receive close attention with profiles of David Wylie for County Commissioner (Precinct 4), focused on responsible growth and public safety; Chris Pochyla for Justice of the Peace (Precinct 2), emphasizing experience and efficient courts; and Derek Gurley for JP (Precinct 5), highlighting temperament, education, and streamlined dockets.

The Voter’s Guide
The voters’ guide outlines recommendations for contested Republican races, from U.S. Senator to precinct chairs, and urges participation in early voting from February 17–27 and on Election Day, March 3, 2026.

A Rallying Cry for Denton County Conservatives
Overall, Views & News rallies Denton County conservatives around transparency, victim protection, economic freedom, and strong leadership, positioning the county as a blueprint for shaping Texas’ future.
