Mike Greenhaw, a Republican Precinct Chair from Cherokee County, has signed the Texas First Pledge, formally committing to put Texas interests ahead of federal mandates in his continued grassroots political leadership. Greenhaw, who currently serves as Precinct 34 Chair and is a Texas Nationalist Movement Deputy County Coordinator, signed the pledge on November 5, 2025.
A 4th-generation Texan from Troup, Greenhaw brings deep roots and decades of experience to his political advocacy. After retiring from Boeing in 2013 following a fulfilling aerospace career, he dedicated himself to public service and political engagement. His professional background in aerospace honed the leadership and accountability skills that now serve him well in Republican Party politics.
Greenhaw’s commitment to conservative principles extends throughout his family life. He is a devoted family man who believes strong family values are essential to thriving communities and effective state governance. His dedication to these principles motivated his transition from private sector success to grassroots political leadership.
His political involvement has been comprehensive and sustained. Greenhaw has served as a Precinct, County, and State Delegate before taking on his current role as Precinct Chair. As a TNM Deputy County Coordinator, he works directly to advance Texas independence goals while maintaining his focus on keeping Texas red through effective local organization.
The signing comes as Greenhaw continues his work as Precinct Chair, a position he views through the lens of Texas sovereignty. He believes political power is inherent in the people of Texas and envisions a future where Texans have greater control over their destiny, free from outside federal influence.

The county sits 130 miles southeast of Dallas and 160 miles north of Houston, representing a solidly Republican area where Texas First principles resonate with voters.

The Texas First Pledge represents a formal commitment by candidates and officeholders to prioritize Texas sovereignty and the interests of Texans over federal mandates. By signing this pledge, political leaders commit to defending Texas’s right to self-determination and opposing unconstitutional federal overreach that undermines state authority.
