Early Voting for LTISD School Board Trustee Elections
2025-04-22 07:00 - 2025-04-29 19:00
This election cycle is critical—common sense, transparency and truth are on the ballot for LTISD.
In May 2024, only 50% of registered voters turned out, allowing radical leftist incumbents to stay in place to continue defending woke ideologies, calling it “free speech.” The 2025 leftist candidates are even worse—one openly cringes at the idea that “boys turn into men,” and the other claims to be a businessman while pushing overpriced “student housing” that exploits families and leaves low-income students behind and will push heavy DEI on our students.

It’s essential for community members to engage in these electoral processes, as the outcomes will influence local governance.

Lake Travis ISD Trustees ELECTION DAY!
2025-05-03 07:00 - 19:00
Lake Travis Independent School District (LTISD) will conduct its Board of Trustees election on May 3, 2025. Voters can cast their ballots at any designated Vote Center in Travis County displaying the “Vote Here/Aquí” sign during both early voting and on Election Day.

This election cycle is critical—common sense, transparency and truth are on the ballot for LTISD.
In May 2024, only 50% of registered voters turned out, allowing radical leftist incumbents to stay in place to continue defending woke ideologies, calling it “free speech.” The 2025 leftist candidates are even worse—one openly cringes at the idea that “boys turn into men,” and the other claims to be a businessman while pushing overpriced “student housing” that exploits families and leaves low-income students behind.
Even if you don’t have kids in LTISD, YOUR PROPERTY TAXES fund 85% of the district’s budget. In 2023, voters were hoodwinked into approving over $700 million in bonds, and by 2024, the board managed to create a $2.25 MILLION deficit. How’s that for managing your tax dollars?
It’s time to take off the rose-colored glasses. LTISD is not the “destination district” it pretends to be. Academic scores are below average, bullying and drug use are rampant, and accountability is nowhere to be found. We need transparency, firm discipline, and leaders who deliver results—not excuses.
The only incumbent in this election is the current President of the Board of Trustees—and her record speaks for itself. She’s got to go.
Let’s elect new Trustees who will fight for truth, transparency, and real change—not the “go along to get along” mentality.
Our kids—and our community—deserve better.

Texas Senate Bill 13: Overview and Implementation
Senate Bill 13 (SB 13) is a piece of legislation passed during the 89th Texas Legislature (2025–2026) that imposes new requirements on school libraries, particularly concerning the acquisition and review of library materials. The bill focuses on increasing transparency and parental oversight in the selection of books and other resources available to students.
The law requires school districts to adopt policies for the acquisition and removal of library materials that align with state guidelines.
Senate Bill 13 Public School Requirements from the TEA
https://tea.texas.gov/texas-schools/school-boards/sb13-guidance.pdf

The Lake Travis ISD School Library Advisory Council (SLAC) was established by the Board of Trustees to ensure that school libraries provide strong collections that support student achievement, meet state standards, and reflect community expectations. Meeting at least twice each year, the SLAC works with librarians and district staff to develop a recommended list of library materials for procurement, including donated titles. The Board reviews these recommendations, considers any proposed changes, and makes the final decision to approve or reject the materials. At least 30 days before the Board’s vote, the proposed list is made publicly available for parents and community members to review. The SLAC also recommends procedures for handling challenges to library materials and reviews challenges according to law before making recommendations to the Board. This process helps ensure transparency, parent involvement, and a strong library program that strengthens student achievement while nurturing a lifelong appreciation, habit and love of reading.

Mark Goloby for Texas GovernorIn the last gubernatorial election, we supported all three of Abbott’s challengers and used the tag line “Anyone But Abbott”. This time around, we will be taking a similar approach, we are hosting two challengers who have come forward. Both Mark Goloby and Doc Pete Chambers are running for the Governor’s seat in 2026, and we believe they both have an important message to share. Come out to this months meeting and hear from Mark Goloby about his campaign and the reasons he is running!
Perla Hopkins for TX Lieutenant GovernorPerla Hopkins is an AMERICA TEXAS FIRST CONSERVATIVE PATRIOT running to be your next Texas Lieutenant Governor. Perla serves as a speaker, and as a volunteer policy and parental rights advocate. She’s an Air Force veteran and continued to serve our country in the role of military spouse for over 20 years.

About Mark Goloby:Mark V. Goloby was born where many great Texans are from, Tennessee. Mark’s family moved to Houston when he was 3 and grew up close to the Astrodome. Mark graduated from Texas A&M in 1981 with a BBA in Accounting. Mark started working in Internal Audit for Dresser Industries then worked for GTE Mobilnet (now Verizon) Texas Region as a Controller. Mark founded TC Technologies and has been pioneering wireless remote monitoring, data applications for over 25 years. He has delivered wireless solutions in a wide variety of applications from cathodic protection on pipelines to wireless mesh networks to monitor a wide variety of wellhead production, measurement, and processing equipment on the well pad.
He has been very active on a number of issues and served on numerous association boards. Within the oil and gas industry, Mark orchestrated a fight of local control over oil and gas operations in several small East Texas cities. The result was a complete shutdown of the initiative and retraction from these cities trying to usurp the authority of the Texas Railroad Commission. Mark was instrumental in getting Texas Independent Producer and Royalty Owners (TIPRO) to participate in the Texas State Convention. This was the first time the oil and gas industry has ever attended a state political convention.
Mark was able to get the Texas Republican Party to adopt Repeal Chapter 313 of the Texas Tax Code into the 2018 Texas Republican Platform. A similar plank was put in the Democrat Platform. Mark championed ending the 313 abatements for over 5 years. This effort culminated in the Texas Senate allowing 313 to expire in this regular 87th Legislative Session. Mark has been Chairman of the East Texas Energy Symposium for 11 years. The symposium brings topics pertinent to the East Texas operator. The proceeds have raised over $200,000 to support The East Texas Oil Museum. Mark has been a champion of property rights and is a member of Houston Property Rights Association. He has advocated for more eco-friendly use of property, spearheading the conversion of the neighborhood flood detention facility into a Naturescape transforming a neighborhood blight into an amenity.
Mark is on the Board of Cherry Tree Republicans and is Treasurer of the Cherry Tree Republican PAC. He coordinated a direct effort of a text campaign for 10 candidates for the 1st and 14th court of appeals in the 9 surrounding counties of Harris County, in which ALL 10 justices won.
About Perla Hopkins:

Perla Hopkins is an AMERICA TEXAS FIRST CONSERVATIVE PATRIOT running to be your next Texas Lieutenant Governor. Perla serves as a speaker, and as a volunteer policy and parental rights advocate. She’s an Air Force veteran and continued to serve our country in the role of military spouse for over 20 years. In 2010 she was presented with the Inaugural major command AETC Key Spouse of the Year Award in San Antonio.
Perla has been married to retired Major Bart Hopkins for 25 years and they have raised 3 adult children. She holds three master’s degrees in education and has taught around the world including Leander ISD, Texas. In 2021 Perla was the first Texas Mom to be kicked-out of her own children’s school board meeting. Perla took off her teacher hat, and through numerous other unconstitutional experiences, she has had to collaborate with state and federal legislators and officials since 2019. She has fought tirelessly to address the fentanyl crisis, border security, elimination of property taxes, medical freedom, human trafficking, the obscenity exemption found in penal code 43.24, and the eradication of CRT/DEI, to name a few measures. In 2022, Perla ran against a democrat incumbent for the State Board of Education (SBOE) District 5. She was unsuccessful due to a limited 3 month campaign; however, over 237,000 Texans cast their vote for her, trusting in her leadership and calls-to-action approach. Perla is a champion for Texas families! She’s ready to serve again and to restore faith, accountability, and transparency in the Texas Senate.

LTRC March 2026 Meeting/Luncheon

https://www.laketravisrepublicanclubtx.com/event-details/ltrc-march-2026-meeting
The Lake Travis Republican Club invites you to join us for our March Luncheon on Tuesday, March 17, featuring special guest Chairman Jim Wright of the Texas Railroad Commission.
Chairman Wright is a fifth-generation Texas rancher and lifelong South Texan who has spent decades working in the energy sector. Since his election to the Railroad Commission in 2020, he has focused on maintaining a fair and consistent regulatory environment that supports innovation while protecting the long-term strength of Texas’ energy industry.
During his time at the Commission, Chairman Wright has championed solution-oriented leadership, encouraging collaboration between regulators, industry leaders, and the public to ensure Texas remains a global energy powerhouse. He understands the vital role energy plays in the Texas economy and has emphasized the importance of expanding access to global markets while preparing for the future of energy production.
Chairman Wright has also worked to ensure the Commission is proactive in addressing emerging issues such as water and carbon management, geothermal energy, and hydrogen production and storage, recognizing that the energy industry of tomorrow will look very different from today.
Before his service on the Railroad Commission, Wright began working in the energy industry at just 19 years old, eventually building a successful group of environmental management companies serving the sector. In addition to his professional career, he spent more than two decades as a rodeo bull rider and remains a devoted family man, living in Orange Grove with his wife, Sherry, and their five children.
This will be an engaging discussion about Texas energy policy, economic growth, and the future of the industry that powers our state. You won’t want to miss this opportunity to hear directly from one of Texas’ key energy leaders.

2026-04-13 18:30 - 20:30 | Saltgrass Steakhouse, 12613 Galleria Circle, Bee Cave, TX, 78738, United States
The Lake Travis Republican Club will host a Candidate Debate Forum on Monday, April 13, 2026, at Saltgrass Steak House in Bee Cave. This important community event will give voters an opportunity to hear directly from candidates running for local offices that impact the Lake Travis area.
The forum will feature all four candidates for the LTISD School Board, along with invited candidates from Bee Cave City Council, Lakeway City Council, and the Bee Cave Mayoral race.
The evening will begin with cocktails and networking at 6:30 PM, followed by the forum promptly at 7:00 PM. Attendees are encouraged to arrive early to secure seating. Food and beverages will be available for individual purchase.
At the start of the forum, currently seated city council candidates will each be given two minutes to deliver an introductory statement. Following these introductions, a coin flip will determine whether the School Board candidates or the Bee Cave mayoral candidates begin the debate portion of the evening.
The debate will be moderated by an independent moderator from outside the LTISD community, and questions will not be disclosed to candidates in advance to ensure a fair and engaging discussion.
This event is designed to help voters better understand the candidates, their positions, and the issues affecting our community.
