Our Purpose:


After decades of New Deal and Great Society social activism ... combined with the rapid decline in civics and American history education in our government-run public schools ... mixed with a growing population of ill-informed and apathetic voters ... government at every level in this country continues to be too big, too intrusive and too expensive.

Founded in 1990, the Republican Liberty Caucus of Texas works to advance the principles of limited government, individual liberty and free markets within the Republican Party and throughout Texas. Our focus is on a broad range of issues, including education, taxation, property rights, gun rights, free speech, federalism and the proper role of government.

In addition to giving disenfranchised smaller-government Republicans a home by creating incentive to stay in our party, the Republican Liberty Caucus of Texas helps avoid a potential exodus to Libertarian, Constitutional, and other third parties, which would end up weakening our thin margin over the Democrats, thus opening the door to big-government victories from leftist candidates.  The Republican Liberty Caucus of Texas is proud to promote the GOP's smaller-government message.  Our limited government, individual liberty and free market ideas will win by inclusion.  There is strength in numbers.

While rolling back decades of government "nannyism" will require a great deal of public education and grassroots lobbying, the most important means of changing public policy is to change public officials. Therefore, the Republican Liberty Caucus of Texas works to elect pro-liberty Republicans to offices at all levels, partisan and non-partisan, in both primary and general elections.  

The Republican Liberty Caucus of Texas is committed not to just electing more Republicans ... but better ones, as well.
