Guest Speakers

  • Commissioner Sid Miller, Agriculture Commissioner of Texas
  • State Senator Dawn Buckingham, Candidate for Texas Land Commissioner

  • Donald Trump, Jr.

The “big three” of Texas are showing up between Abbott, Patrick, and Paxton, all names who dream of higher office and need to maintain Trump’s support.

As with all Trump rallies, the genius is in the marketing and data gathering operations that come along with a guest list of tens of thousands of enthusiastic supporters:

When Donald Trump takes the stage in Conroe on Saturday, he’s almost guaranteed to continue talking about rigged elections, Joe Biden’s failings and the prospects of running again for president in 2024.

But the rally — his first full-fledged MAGA event in Texas since 2019 — means far more to GOP strategists. For them, it’s a gold mine of political organizing. For hours, they will have a captive audience of Trump loyalists who can be enticed into volunteering on other campaigns, added to donor lists and introduced to other Republicans running for office who will get time to speak at the event.

“There’s so much more to it than just the speech,” said Christian Ziegler, vice chairman of the Florida Republican Party who attended Trump’s last rally in Arizona two weeks ago.

Texas remains a crucial battleground for the GOP and is always highly targeted every election cycle by Democrats who dream of turning the state blue. It’s been close a few times, such as the Senate race between Ted Cruz and Beto O’Rourke. Other than that, Trump won the state twice, although by a shrinking margin in 2020 against Joe Biden.

Some seem to scoff at Trump’s rallies as political sideshows, but they serve as a crucial tool for organizing volunteers and keeping voters engaged in between election cycles:

He said it can be hard to re-engage the GOP base and get them organized, especially between the general election and the midterm. But a Trump rally gives state and local candidates a chance to re-activate those voters early for the midterms, when turnout typically dips.

“It fills a void in the downtime between election cycles,” Ziegler said.

No single politician can command a gathering of twenty or thirty thousand people for a political speech on a Saturday in January. Hence the reason why the Texas Republican Party will be taking full advantage of the opportunity to sign up volunteers, register new voters, and grow their list of engaged contacts before the midterms.

In short, Trump rallies serve more than just Trump, other candidates up and down-ballot from federal, state, and local elections all benefit from strong voter engagement and enthusiasm.
