Dallas is about to become the center of the political universe.

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, commonsense revolution.

This will not be a typical political convention.

REPUBLICAN PARTY TO HOST HISTORIC MIDTERM CONVENTION IN DALLAS, TRUMP ANNOUNCES ON TRUTH SOCIAL

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, President Trump and Republicans have delivered lower taxes, a secure border, safer communities, and greater opportunity.

All while Democrats remain captive to the radical socialists riding roughshod over the values that make America great.

Americans remember what happened the last time Democrats were in charge.

They threw open our border, allowed dangerous criminals to pour into our country, put illegal immigrants ahead of citizens, and watched prices rise at the highest rate in 40 years.

They attacked parental rights, pushed the gender mutilation of our children, weakened America abroad, and made life harder for working families.

President Trump came back to clean up their mess.

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.

Now we are taking that record directly to the American people.

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 highlight Republicans’ historic Working Families Tax Cuts, expanded relief for parents, and Trump Accounts that give the next generation a head start on the American Dream.

TRUMP'S TAX CUTS HAND REPUBLICANS A KILLER ARGUMENT FOR THE MIDTERMS

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 show how Republicans are rooting out corruption, waste, fraud, and abuse in Washington.

We will show how we are defending parental rights, educational freedom, America’s food supply, and President Trump’s mission to Make America Healthy Again.

We will honor American workers and show how lower taxes, energy dominance, fair trade, and reshoring put working people ahead of global elites.

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.

Republican candidates for the House, Senate, and governor’s offices will show voters that there is a better way.

That is exactly what we are doing.

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.
