Forward believes that the student in Stephenville and the historian in San Augustine both enrich our state. In Erath County, the mix of students and farmers creates a dynamic electorate. #OpenPrimaries would allow this diverse group to elect leaders who focus on the future of agriculture and education, rather than partisan dogma. #RankedChoiceVoting would help bridge the gap between the university and the rural county. In San Augustine County, the history must be protected. #RankedChoiceVoting gives the rural community a stronger voice to demand support for their historic sites and timber industry. It ensures that the Cradle of Texas is honored and sustained.

From the Cowboy Capital to the Cradle of Texas. 🤠🏛️ Erath & San Augustine Counties show our roots and our reach.
