By Texans, for Texans

Politicians work for you. Somebody ought to check their work.

We're a watchdog run by Texans, for Texans. We track what gets promised in Austin and Washington, what actually gets done, and who ought to hear about the difference.

Our Mission

Texas runs on a simple deal: Texans work hard, and government stays out of the way and does its job. We're here to hold up the second half of that deal.

1836 Action

1836 Action is a nonprofit social welfare organization based right here in Texas. We think the formula that built this state still works: low taxes, free enterprise, strong communities, and a government that remembers who pays the bills.

So we pay attention. We follow the votes, the budgets, and the promises, and we tell regular Texans about them in plain English. When elected officials do right by Texas, we'll be the first to say so. When they don't, we'll be louder.

Texas is worth defending. That's the whole pitch.

Our Priorities

Four commitments. One star.

You won't find a fifty-page policy platform here. Just four things we won't budge on.

No. 01

Economic Freedom

Keep taxes low, keep regulators off people's backs, and let Texans build things.

01
No. 02

Safe Communities

Back the police, keep violent criminals behind bars, and keep Texas a place to raise a family.

02
No. 03

Secure Borders

Texas has a border, and it means something. Enforce the law. Period.

03
No. 04

Election Integrity

Easy to vote, hard to cheat. Texans should never have to wonder if their elections are honest.

04
Everything's bigger in Texas. Especially what we expect from the people we elect.
