Jenn Mack Raphoon, an Independent candidate for Governor of Texas, has signed the Texas First Pledge, formally committing to put Texas interests ahead of federal mandates if elected in 2026. Raphoon, a seventh-generation Texan with deep military family roots, signed the pledge on October 9, 2025, joining the growing movement of candidates dedicated to Texas sovereignty.
Raphoon brings over a decade of experience leading people and projects, where she has worked to bring order to chaos, hold individuals accountable, and deliver results on time and within budget. Her journey to this pivotal moment in Texas history is grounded not in political dynasty but in her authentic role as a wife, mother, and lifelong Texan. Her professional background is matched by her rich personal history from a strong military family, with a lineage of service stretching from her grandfathers to her sons.
This military heritage instills in her the values of service, sacrifice, and an unwavering love for freedom. Raphoon understands firsthand the challenges faced by Texans, having navigated the adversities triggered by governmental overreach during the COVID pandemic and detrimental DEI programs. These personal experiences fuel her desire to uphold the legacy of the Founding Fathers and their commitment to liberty.
Deeply involved in her community, Raphoon embodies the values and spirit of hard-working Texans. Her personal life reflects these ideals, grounded in her commitment to family and the steadfast belief in the power of people over government. Driven by a fervent belief in her right to alter, reform, or abolish tyrannical governance, as enshrined in the Texas Constitution, Raphoon is committed to restoring the sovereignty of Texans.
Independent Voice in Governor’s Race
The 2026 gubernatorial race is shaping up to be competitive, with incumbent Republican Governor Greg Abbott seeking an unprecedented fourth term. Several Democratic candidates have already announced their campaigns, including State Representative Gina Hinojosa who entered the race in October. Raphoon’s Independent candidacy offers Texas voters an alternative to the traditional two-party system.
As an Independent candidate, Raphoon represents a growing sentiment among Texans who feel disconnected from both major political parties. Her campaign platform underscores her commitment to bringing power back to the people and ensuring that the principles of faith and freedom remain at the core of Texas governance. The 2026 election is scheduled for November 3, 2026, with primaries on March 3, 2026.
