A shocking revelation has emerged about Texas Republican State Senator Mayes Middleton's record as he campaigns for Attorney General – the candidate once pushed legislation that would have paved the way for Islamic "Sharia cities" across the Lone Star State while stripping local communities of their power to stop them.
According to The Federalist, Middleton filed Senate Bill 854 in January 2025, deceptively marketing it as a solution to Texas' housing shortage. But the devil was in the details: the bill would have stripped local governments of their constitutional authority to block religious housing developments, including what critics warned could become segregated Islamic communities operating under religious law.
The bombshell revelation has Texas conservatives asking serious questions about Middleton's judgment and commitment to local control – a cornerstone principle of conservative governance.
Social media erupted with concern from Texas patriots. "MY TEXAS FRIENDS KNOW THIS NAME.. STATE SEN. MAYES MIDDLETON! AUTHORED A BILL THAT WOULD STRIP LOCAL GOVERNMENTS OF THEIR ABILITY TO BLOCK RELIGIOUS HOUSING DEVELOPMENTS, INCLUDING THE CREATION OF ISLAMIC CITIES," warned Twitter user @MrLuigiMucci, sounding the alarm for Texas voters.
"This is exactly the kind of globalist overreach disguised as a housing solution that conservatives need to reject," one Texas activist told supporters.
The timing couldn't be worse for Middleton's AG campaign. Texas voters are looking for a fierce defender of American values and local control – not someone who would hand over community planning decisions to religious groups that may operate under foreign legal principles.
This revelation raises critical questions: Why would a supposedly conservative candidate push legislation that undermines local sovereignty? And what other surprises might be lurking in Middleton's legislative record?
Texas deserves an Attorney General who will fight FOR local communities, not against them. Voters need to ask themselves: Is this the kind of "conservative" leadership Texas needs in the AG's office?
