Republicans head to Dallas with one mission: Defy history and win big
Chairman Gruters
September 9, 2026
Republicans from across America are heading to the great state of Texas for the first-ever Republican Convention. We have one mission: defy history, grow our majorities, and continue America’s conservative comeback.
[…]
For two action-packed days, we will celebrate the results of President Donald Trump’s America First agenda, showcase the Republican leaders carrying that momentum into November, and make our case directly to voters.
Most importantly, we will present a clear choice for America’s future. One that will be impossible to ignore.
[...]
In less than two years, he has delivered on the promises he made to the American people.
Our border is secure. Our economy is growing. Manufacturing is returning to American soil. Drug prices are falling. American energy is roaring back. Families are keeping more of what they earn.
Promises made. Promises kept.
[...]
In Dallas, families will explain what No Tax on Tips, No Tax on Overtime, and No Tax on Social Security mean for their paychecks. Parents will make the case for school choice and educational freedom. Small-business owners will show how Republican policies are helping Americans create jobs, buy homes, and build financial independence.
[...]
We will show how President Trump has delivered the largest drop in prescription drug prices in 60 years, through TrumpRx and by taking on corporate middlemen.
We will show how the $50 billion Rural Health Transformation Program – the largest investment in rural health care in history – is protecting patients and strengthening rural communities.
[...]
We will stand with law enforcement and the brave men and women protecting our border. Angel Parents will remind the country of the horrific human cost of Democrats’ open-border policies. Removing criminal illegal immigrants is not extreme. It is the basic duty of a government that puts its citizens first.
We will celebrate President Trump’s success in bringing more than 100 American hostages home without paying their captors a single dollar. That is American strength.
We will mark the 25th observance of September 11 with the children and families of first responders. We will also honor Charlie Kirk’s extraordinary impact on young Americans and carry his legacy forward with a clear call: stand up, speak out, vote, and fight for the country we love.
[...]
The convention will culminate with the greatest messenger our party has ever had, the 45th and 47th President of the United States, Donald J. Trump.
President Trump will lay out the stakes, celebrate the victories already secured, and show America what remains possible with a Republican Congress standing beside him.
America is back. Republicans are united. And we are ready to fight, fight, fight for commonsense, freedom, and the preservation of our American Dream.
