At the “C” Club, we’re on a mission to build a stronger, more prosperous Houston through fiscal responsibility, principled leadership, and effective governance. We do this by identifying and supporting quality candidates who share our values and possess the tenacity to fight for them in elected office. In order to win tough general elections, it is critical to ensure strong nominees emerge from the primary process.

For over 60 years, voters have trusted the “C” Club’s endorsements. Our process is disciplined, thorough, and rigorous – one that scrutinizes every race from multiple angles, vets each candidate’s record and viability, and ultimately backs those best equipped to deliver real results.

Election Day for the Republican Runoff is just around the corner on May 26th. Early in-person voting begins May 18th and ends on the 22nd.
