The political establishment is coming for Rep. Chip Roy (R-TX), one of the fiercest conservative fighters in Congress, as he battles for the Republican nomination for Texas Attorney General in what's shaping up to be the most consequential primary of 2026.
Roy will face off against Sen. Mayes Middleton in a May 26 runoff that could determine whether Texas gets a true constitutional conservative as its top law enforcement officer – or another politician willing to play nice with the swamp.
The Washington Examiner is already trying to frame Roy's principled stands against government overreach as a liability, calling his "fighter mentality" a potential "political demise." This is exactly the kind of establishment narrative we've seen before when RINOs and their media allies try to take down America First conservatives.
Roy's Record of Results
What the mainstream media won't tell you is that Roy's "rabble-rouser tendencies" are exactly what Patriots need in positions of power. This is the same congressman who has consistently fought against wasteful spending, stood up to federal tyranny, and refused to bow down to leadership when they've tried to ram through bad deals.
Roy has been a stalwart defender of the Constitution, fighting tooth and nail against the administrative state that has run roughshod over American freedoms for decades. His willingness to stand alone against the establishment – even within his own party – is precisely why he's the right choice for Texas Attorney General.
"We need fighters, not politicians who will compromise away our rights for a photo op," one Texas conservative activist told Next News Network.
The Texas Attorney General position is critical for defending against federal overreach, protecting election integrity, and standing up to woke corporations trying to push radical agendas on Texans. Roy's track record proves he won't back down from these fights.
Will Texas Republicans choose a proven conservative warrior, or will they fall for the establishment's attempts to paint principled leadership as a weakness? The answer could determine the future of constitutional governance in the Lone Star State.
