Conrad Striegl announces for Bandera County Republican Chair
I am a second-generation German immigrant, son of a farmer and WWII veteran who fought for this country on D-Day with his two brothers (Carl and Ludwig). I am happily married to my lovely wife of 49 years. We raised two great children that are both die-hard conservative Republicans. One is an Electrical Engineer and the other is a Cardiovascular Technician. I am a native Texan and graduate of Southwest Texas State University.
After graduation I married and was ready to start my life as a husband, father and contributing citizen of this great country. My father informed me one day that as the eldest son it was my responsibility to fight and defend our adopted country as long as there was breath in my body. My father and uncles were true Patriots that were willing to sacrifice all for this country and they expected no less from me.
Being an obedient son, I put my life on hold to join the U.S. Army as a Special Weapons tech. I was selected for Officer Candidate School and retired after 27 years of service with the rank of Lieutenant Colonel. During that period, I fought in two wars, three peace actions and in 37 engagements. I fulfilled the Striegl legacy and requirement to my father and this country. During my tour, I received the Legion of Merit, Six Meritorious Service medals and numerous other combat awards. None of which I cherish more than the opportunity to serve my country and obey the wishes of my father.
Why run for the unpaid position of County Republican Chair again? I could walk away knowing that I have fulfilled my obligation to my father, country, and family. When I was in the military no country could defeat us, no army could match our skill, agility, or ferocity on the battlefield. We were invincible. Our country was respected or feared. Today that attitude, that swagger is dying. At the National and State levels we are being invaded on our southern border. The Second Amendment is under attack. Your very freedom is in jeopardy. Who will fight for this County, State, or Country? If you elect me, I will fight for conservatism!
I will work tirelessly to get President Trump reelected. I have the skills and knowledge to do this.
I will work hard to “eliminate property tax.” We won that fight in November. I will fight to stop the theft of your tax dollars and to keep more of your hard earned dollars.
I will ensure voter integrity and give you paper ballots. This I promise. I wrote the Murr censure and got it approved by the County Executive Committee. I finished the job by getting Murr censured at state level by a vote of 61 for and 0 against.
I devoted 100s of hours working to ensure AG Paxton was acquitted on all 16 impeachment changes during the Senate Trial.
I made 17 trips to Austin during this last legislative session in 2023. I testified before committees; visited representatives and senators; lobbied for 2A bills, border security, voter integrity, for Senate Bill 14 which made child mutilation illegal, for bills to keep porn out of school libraries and so much more.
I represented you as a delegate at the 2022 state convention and fought for your conservative legislative priorities and planks.
My actions and resume speak for themselves. I know what needs to be done and how to get it done. I know how to win. I have a plan to win this fight and most of that plan is already in place. Now it is up to you, the voter.
I will kick every Democrat and socialist out of the Bandera County Republican Party. I will not aid and abet any organization or person that wants to destroy this country, our way of life and our freedoms.
It is time for—"decisive action”--- “It’s time to take back our country and state.”
