This Privacy Policy explains how this campaign collects, uses, and protects information when you visit or interact with the Site, including when you use forms powered by SureForms, search‑engine features powered by SureRank, and analytics provided by Google Analytics.
By using this Site, you agree to the practices described in this Privacy Policy.

How information is used
The campaign may use the information collected for purposes such as:

- Analyzing how visitors use the Site to improve content, usability, and outreach efforts, including through Google Analytics reports on traffic, campaigns, and user engagement.

- Ensuring that pages are discoverable and properly optimized in search engines using tools such as the SureRank SEO plugin.
- Complying with applicable laws and reporting requirements for political campaigns in Texas.
The campaign does not sell your personal information to third parties.
Use of SureForms
The Site uses SureForms, a WordPress form builder plugin, to create and manage contact, signup, and other forms.
- When you submit a form, your information is stored in this Site’s own WordPress database so that the campaign can review and respond to your submission.
- SureForms does not store your form submission data on its own external servers; the data remains under the control of this Site’s owner.
- SureForms may provide features such as spam protection, validation, and GDPR‑oriented settings, which help maintain accuracy and security of submissions.
Any additional processing of your data (such as export to email marketing or CRM tools, if used) will follow the purposes described in this Privacy Policy.
Use of SureRank
The Site uses SureRank, a WordPress SEO plugin, to help manage how the Site appears in search engines.
- SureRank allows configuration of page titles, meta descriptions, schema markup, sitemaps, and search‑engine directives (such as index/noindex and archive settings) to improve visibility and performance in search results.
- SureRank may perform automated checks of the Site’s pages to identify SEO issues (for example, missing metadata or indexing problems) but is not used to identify individual visitors or to build profiles about you.
Any information used in connection with SureRank relates to Site content and technical performance rather than directly identifying visitor behavior.
Use of Google Analytics
The Site uses Google Analytics (GA4) to better understand how visitors use the Site and to evaluate the effectiveness of outreach and campaign activities.
- Google Analytics collects information such as:
- Pages visited and actions taken on the Site
- Device and browser information
- Session duration and bounce rates
- Traffic sources, including campaign and referral information, using identifiers such as UTM parameters or ad click IDs.
- This information is processed in aggregated form to provide reports and insights and is not used by this campaign to directly identify individual visitors.
- Google may also use the collected data for its own purposes in accordance with Google’s privacy policies and terms of service. Visitors can learn more about how Google collects and uses data for Analytics on Google’s help and developer pages.
Where legally required or appropriate, visitors may be able to limit or control Google Analytics tracking using browser settings, opt‑out tools, or privacy features offered by Google.
Sharing of information
The campaign may share information in limited situations, including:
- Service providers
With trusted vendors and service providers that support campaign operations, such as website hosting, security, analytics (including Google Analytics), email services, and technical support, but only to the extent necessary for them to perform their services and subject to appropriate confidentiality obligations. - Legal and compliance purposes
When required by law, regulation, subpoena, court order, or other legal process, or when necessary to protect the rights, safety, or property of the campaign, supporters, or the public. - Campaign and election reporting
Political campaigns may be required to report certain contribution and expenditure information to election authorities under Texas and federal law. Any required disclosures will be made in accordance with applicable rules.
The campaign does not share personal information with unrelated third‑party marketers.
Cookies and tracking technologies
The Site and its service providers may use cookies, pixels, and similar technologies to:
- Remember basic settings or preferences
