Honored to Honor!
Tuesday night’s EMCRW Veteran’s Dinner was honoring, heartwarming & we all felt a sense of gratitude for our struggles, victories over our Wins & hope for the future!

It was an evening to “Give Back” for the freedoms we have! We saw the many faces of Veterans, remaining Spouses & the Reserves that have waited to serve!

Many Military branches were in attendance, including Army Brigadier General, Judge John C. Hafley, who led the march of Guest Speakers.

He reminded us of the past wars, victories & future battles we will all face. He left us with a hope to carry on, lock arms & to always remember the fallen.

We were then greeted by our Local VFW Post #4816 Commander Pat Barbier, Auxiliary President Kandy Barbier, Chaplain, Amanda Prisk, along with 40+ Veterans!

Judge Advocate, Stacy Prisk then spoke of the many helpful liasion services, activities, & extra Veteran & family “supports” their post offers our East Montgomery County Veterans & their families.

We then honored the EMC Sr. Center’s Director, Tracy Long. She educated us on the many ways our Center helps to support our elderly with over 400 meals served each week & the physical, mental & emotional enrichment our Seniors receive for “free”, just for living in East County, through our Sr. Center!

We are so blessed to have this wonderful opportunity in our community! Our Commissioner, Matt Gray is the support behind this area of outreach & his team is sure to stand behind many of their activities, including weekly bingo, crafts, an Annual Sr. Prom, dance classes & exercise programs! Wow!

The East Montgomery County Republican Women presented a Donation Check to help support the VFW Post #4816 for all of the community services & support offered to our local veterans.

We ended the night w/a very young 10 yo Patriot, Kason Seiger sharing a story w/the Veterans, portraying a young boy’s life, from the Civil War era, & based on the Novel, “Winn Dixie”. Kason’s message to the Veterans that night, was that, “life can be sweet like the strawberry candy they got, & it can also bring about sadness & sorrow, like Littmus Block learned, when he lied about his age, to get into the war & learned of the tragedies, first hand that accompany the war, along with losing his father & his family who also died while he was away.

He went on to remind us all that the sweetness of the victory of war brought about our freedoms & the young boy’s renewed hope through the earned success through “Littmus Lozenge” Candies!

Red County Men Line Up Early and Send a Clear Message for Ken Paxton

Scott Presler dropped a photo that cuts through the noise. A long line of mostly men stretched outside an early voting site in Montgomery County, Texas, on the first day of in-person voting. The American flag flew overhead. The sky was clear. People stood patiently in the gravel lot, ready to cast ballots.

Montgomery County sits just north of Houston and has long been one of the strongest Republican strongholds in the state. Seeing heavy early turnout there, especially among men, is not subtle. Presler put it bluntly: this is good for Ken Paxton. He told supporters to keep going.

The timing matters. Early voting just opened for the 2026 midterms, and the U.S. Senate race between Paxton and Democrat James Talarico is tight enough that every vote counts. Recent polls show a dead heat or a slight edge for the Democrat, which is exactly the kind of narrative designed to dampen Republican enthusiasm. Lines like the one in Montgomery County push back against that story in the most practical way possible. These voters are not waiting until Election Day or mailing it in. They are showing up in person, in a red county, right now.

Presler has spent years driving exactly this kind of turnout. He helped flip Pennsylvania in 2024 by focusing on registration, early voting, and relentless ground-level energy. The same approach is now visible in Texas. Replies to his post from other parts of the state echoed the same scene: crowded sites, people making plans, and a sense that Republicans are treating this race with the seriousness it deserves.

Paxton enters the general election after a hard-fought primary runoff against John Cornyn. He carries the full weight of President Trump’s endorsement and a record of fighting the Biden administration’s policies from the attorney general’s office. Democrats and much of the media have hammered him for years over past legal battles. Voters in places like Montgomery County appear unmoved. They are lining up anyway.

In-person early voting in deep red counties has always been a quiet strength for Republicans. It is harder to spin, harder to delay, and harder to dismiss as an anomaly. When men in particular are turning out in visible numbers, it signals a base that is engaged rather than demoralized. Presler’s post is a snapshot of that engagement on day one.
