America First Candidate Brandon Gill Nominated To Represent Texas At Republican National Convention

Over the weekend, delegates from across the Lone Star State gathered in San Antonio, Texas, to discuss the party platform, elect the next chair and vice chair of the Texas GOP, and choose who would represent them at the Republican National Convention in Milwaukee, Wisconsin, in mid-July. Among those selected to represent Texas as an at-large delegate was America First Republican Brandon Gill, the GOP nominee for Texas' 26th Congressional District.

Gill, who won the GOP primary outright against ten opponents in March, was one of 44 at-large delegates selected by the National Nominations Committee, chaired by Luke Macias. From July 15th to July 18th, Gill will join other at-large delegates, including prominent politicians and influential grassroots activists across the Lone Star State, to elect Donald Trump as the party's nominee. In addition to the at-large delegates and at-large alternates (88 in total), each of Texas' 38 congressional districts selected three delegates and three alternates.

In addition to being selected as an at-large delegate, delegates nominated Gill to help lead the delegation by awarding him a crucial role on the RNC's Credentials Committee. In this position, he will play a pivotal role in determining whether or not selections by delegates violate RNC rules. The committee is similar to an appeals court to the RNC's Committee on Contests.

"Amazing Pro-Trump energy at the [Texas GOP] State Convention!" Gill wrote on Friday while attending the convention with his wife, Danielle, and his young daughter. Gill has gotten increasingly involved in local elections following his nomination to represent the people of the 26th District. The 30-year-old Republican endorsed Wise County's Andy Hopper in the runoff race for House District 64, contributing to Hopper's victory on Tuesday evening against incumbent state Rep. Lynn Stucky (R). Hopper won his race with 58.1 percent of the vote compared to Stucky's 41.9 percent.

As previously reported by the DC Enquirer, Gill came out on top after facing ten opponents in the contested GOP primary that spans Denton, Wise, and Cooke counties. On Super Tuesday, the Trump-endorsed candidate won handily with 58.4 percent of the vote, with Scott Armey winning 14.5 percent, Southlake Mayor John Huffman winning 10 percent, and the remaining candidates getting less than five percent. During the campaign, Gill was endorsed by several America First conservatives, including Rep. Jim Jordan (R-OH), Sen. Ted Cruz (R-TX), Rep. Troy Nehls (R-TX), and others.

With the Republican National Convention just a month and a half away, Gill's selection as an at-large delegate and member of the Credentials Committee will ensure that the Texas delegation has a fighter for President Trump in Milwaukee.
