MONITORING THE SITUATION (3/17/25)
Dallas County Republican Party has financial issues, Miller and staff refuse to commit to voting Republican,
Here are situations we are monitoring just for you:
Dallas County Republican Party is having financial issues.
Outgoing Ag Commissioner Miller and staff refuse to say if they’ll vote for the Republican nominee.
The Dallas County Republican Party is Struggling
Election Day in Dallas County was met with confusion as the Dallas County Republican Party opted to switch to precinct-based voting, instead of the usual county-wide voting. This caused many voters to show up to the wrong polling locations.
In a letter emailed out to precinct chairs, the Dallas County Republican Party (DCRP) addressed the failure of precinct-based voting.
The DCRP would also state that they’re low on funds, to the point where they did not have enough money for voter education:
The email also said the DCRP was considering returning to countywide voting for the runoff.
Despite this admission of failure, DCRP Chairman West told WFAA Channel 8 that the party had nothing to do with the problems on Election Day:
"It is absurd, insidious, and delusional to assert that the Dallas County GOP had any part in the failure of Dallas County Democrats to execute their own primary election day operation," West said in a statement. "Rep. Jasmine Crockett lost and perhaps a lesson in civics and precinct chairs duties and responsibilities would have been advised. The Dallas County GOP executive committee voted for non-joint precinct based voting on Election Day for the 2026 midterm primary last fall. We did the requisite research and information dissemination to enable our success. As Chairman, I did countless media interviews on the subject. Democrats control Dallas County. Sadly, they blew this themselves."
Sid Miller and Staff Refuse to Commit to Voting Republican in the Ag Race
Yesterday, Current Revolt published a story showing a Facebook comment from outgoing Ag Commissioner Sid Miller, where he called the Republican nominee, Nate Sheets, a “RINO” and that the Democratic candidate had more agriculture experience:
Todd Smith, staffer for Sid Miller, reached out to Current Revolt with a statement from Miller:
“Current Revolt has gotten it wrong. I have not endorsed the Democrat in the race for Texas Agriculture Commissioner. I have never endorsed a Democrat and I never will. What I said was that, sadly, this year, the Democrat nominee has more agriculture experience than does the Republican nominee.”

The statement conveniently leaves out that Miller also called Sheets a RINO.
Despite calling him a RINO, Miller was happy to take donations from Sheets in the past as Sheets was one of his larger donors. Sheets previously gave Miller $35,000 in donations for prior campaigns.
Miller released the same statement on his Facebook page where others also agreed that Miller’s comments about Sheets were considered an endorsement of the Democratic candidate.
Others expressed support for Sheets or asked Miller to rally behind the Republican nominee.
Current Revolt asked Todd Smith if he and Sid Miller would be voting for the Republican nominee, we received no response.
