A former member of the Republican Party of Texas governing board takes charge of the movement’s work at the Capitol ahead of the 2027 legislative session.
The Texas Nationalist Movement has named Chris Breaux its Director of Legislative Engagement, the Capitol seat that leads the organization’s work inside the Texas Legislature.
Breaux comes to TNM from the State Republican Executive Committee, the governing board of the Republican Party of Texas between conventions, where he served as the committeeman for Senate District 3. His most recent term ran through the party’s state convention in June 2026.
An engineer by profession, Breaux built his party record from the ground up, serving as a precinct chair and county vice chair before winning a seat on the state committee. He signed the Texas First Pledge in 2024.
As Director of Legislative Engagement, Breaux owns TNM’s legislative agenda, its relationships with House and Senate members, and its committee and floor strategy. At the center of that agenda is the Texas Independence Referendum Act, TNM’s bill to require a statewide vote on Texas independence. The 90th Texas Legislature convenes January 12, 2027.
Breaux’s background is why the appointment matters. Members of the State Republican Executive Committee work hand in glove with legislators and steer the party’s own legislative priorities, so a former committeeman arrives with a Capitol and party network already in place. TNM’s task in 2027 is to turn the pledge signers who hold office into a bloc capable of moving independence legislation through the House and Senate. Breaux is the man now charged with doing it.
