She discusses the importance of raising up faith-based candidates from within the church, offering practical training and mentorship for first-time candidates, and fostering respectful debate that unites rather than divides.
Melinda also reveals exciting new DCRP initiatives:
The 45–47 Club, a premier fundraising group helping sustain party operations.
The Conservative Cup, an intimate monthly event for local conversation and inspiration, featuring guests like Sheriff Murphy, Captain Davis, and Pastor Rafael Cruz, who shares his story of escaping communism in Cuba.
The 10 Commandments Project, ensuring biblical values remain visible in Texas schools.
The discussion closes with encouragement for anyone who wants to make a difference: volunteer, run for office, or simply show up to help. “There’s something for everyone,” Melinda says. “We’re here to help you get involved—and keep our communities strong.”
