In an affirming step forward for the Texas Nationalist Movement, Republican candidate Janine Chapa, who is contesting for House District 20, has signed the TEXAS FIRST pledge, making a bold commitment to place the interests of Texas and Texans at the forefront of her political endeavors.

Born and raised in Brownsville, Texas, Janine Chapa has led a life steeped in dedication, hard work, and a deep sense of community involvement. Raised in a family-owned restaurant, she learned the value of hard work and customer service from a young age. Since then, her professional journey has been marked by continual learning, growth, and service.

Chapa’s educational journey saw her graduate from Hanna High School, followed by enrollment at Texas Southmost College and the University of Texas. She has demonstrated a keen understanding of public service from her days working at the Attorney General’s office while in college. Chapa ultimately completed her undergraduate degree from the University of Texas Rio Grande Valley (formerly Pan American University in Edinburg) in Business Administration.

Her professional journey stands as a testament to her dedication and leadership. Starting as an insurance representative, she rose to the position of Vice President of Sales at a Fortune 50 company, where she demonstrated exceptional leadership and business acumen.

Now, with her signature on the TEXAS FIRST pledge, Chapa is committing to pursue a path that promotes and protects the interest of Texas. The pledge binds her to uphold the right of Texans under Article 1 Section 2 of the Texas Constitution and calls for a vote on Texas reasserting its status as an independent nation. Furthermore, Chapa pledges to work towards a smooth and expedient separation of Texas from the federal government if a majority of Texans vote in support of the movement.

Chapa’s pledge signing, along with her experience in public service, promises to bring a valuable perspective to the movement for Texas’s political, cultural, and economic independence.
