Our right of local self-government is critically impaired by Washington, D.C., and our 87th Texas Legislature has squandered its opportunity to take control of our border, and to protect the rights and liberties of Texans in their hour of need. Texans should decide what is best for Texas, and we desperately need legislators who will defend and preserve our way of life for future generations,\u201d stated Hopper when asked why he signed The Texas Conservative Pledge.<\/p>\n\n\n\n<p>\u201cAndy is a true Texas conservative who has been the driving force of a conservative revolution in Wise County and beyond. We are proud to strongly endorse him to represent Texas House District 64 to replace a weak, non-conservative incumbent and preserve Texas conservative values for his District and all Texans,\u201d said David Roberts, Director of Texans for True Conservatives.<\/p>\n\n\n\n<p>Andy Hopper owns a small farm in Wise County and serves as a Warrant Officer in the Texas State Guard. He has a master\u2019s degree in Computer Science, has taught as an adjunct professor at UNT, and holds a US patent. Andy has worked in the private sector and defense industry as a software engineer for the last twenty-three years and currently owns a software consulting firm. Andy and his wife, Amanda, have homeschooled their three sons and co-founded Wise County Conservatives.<\/p>\n\n\n\n<h2 class=\"wp-block-heading\" id=\"about-the-pledge\">About The Pledge<\/h2>\n\n\n\n<p>The Texans for True Conservatives PAC (a Super Pac) was formed to support \u201creal\u201d Texas Constitutional Conservatives who are dedicated to honoring their pledge to true conservative values at the local, state, and federal levels. The TexasCPAC will hold all candidates who pledge to strict adherence to their pledge in their individual voting records, as well as expose candidates who did not \u201cpledge\u201d and who are not likely to uphold our conservative Texas values.<\/p>\n\n\n\n<p>Visit our&nbsp;<a href=\"https:\/\/texascpac.org\/endorsed-candidates\/\">Endorsed Candidates page<\/a>&nbsp;to find out what Texas
