Constitutional Conservative aims to replace Crenshaw and bring true representation to the people
In a bold move to shake up the political landscape in Texas District 2, Jameson Ellis, a seventh-generation Texan and small business owner, has filed to run in the Republican primary against incumbent Dan Crenshaw. Ellis, a political outsider and certified Constitutional Coach, sees this as an opportunity to remove what he refers to as another RINO (Republican In Name Only) from office.
Ellis, known for his unique brand design business, is driven by a deep commitment to Constitutional values and a passion for giving a voice to everyday Texans. His previous run against Crenshaw in the 2022 primaries demonstrated his ability to resonate with voters, capturing nearly 20% of Crenshaw’s primary votes despite a limited campaign period and a modest budget of $45,000.
The challenger, a lifelong Texan and resident of Conroe, hails from a family rooted in first responders and the military, providing him with a firsthand understanding of the sacrifices made by those who serve and protect. Ellis has been described as a maverick, unafraid to go against the grain to advocate for the concerns of ordinary citizens who feel neglected in the political arena.
In his campaign, Ellis has been vocal about the erosion of liberties in the face of government overreach, likening it to the dystopian world portrayed in “The Matrix.” He emphasizes the importance of differentiating between freedom and liberty, arguing that true liberty is the external state of being free within society from oppressive restrictions imposed by authority.
Ellis criticizes Crenshaw for what he perceives as a departure from conservative principles, pointing to instances where the incumbent supported significant government spending and failed to stand up against what Ellis views as overreach during the COVID-19 pandemic.
The challenger takes issue with Crenshaw’s stance on the 2020 election, alleging that the incumbent accepted the results without acknowledging concerns about potential irregularities. Ellis is positioning himself as a Constitutional Conservative who will staunchly oppose the globalist agenda, fight to keep the government out of citizens’ lives, and be a genuine voice for the people in Washington.
Critics of Crenshaw have dubbed him the “one-eyed McCain,” drawing attention to what they see as a left-leaning RINO persona. The reference to an eyepatch is related to Crenshaw’s military service as a Navy SEAL, where he lost an eye while fighting in Afghanistan.
As the campaign unfolds, voters in Texas District 2 will have the opportunity to decide whether they want to maintain the status quo or opt for a change represented by Jameson Ellis, who promises to restore true conservative values and representation to the district.
