The Art of the Deal
September 15, 2025 | Media Inquiries: jon@bouchefortexas.com
MONTGOMERY COUNTY, TX - Recently, several people have contacted me about mailers from my opponent claiming he is endorsed by President Trump. These questions usually come down to two simple points:
Is it true that President Trump endorsed your opponent?
Why would President Trump endorse someone who betrayed his constituents, joined the Democrats, and undermined the Republican majority in the Texas House?
First, on the question of endorsement:
The so-called “endorsement” was not a formal statement from President Trump. During a phone call with the Texas House regarding a single piece of legislation — the School Choice Bill — President Trump said he would endorse anyone who supported that bill. But there was no official announcement from his office, no social media post, and no formal letter of endorsement as is customary.
What happened next is that a PAC took that phone call, transcribed it, and attached an autopen signature of President Trump to it. That is what my opponent and his allies have been mailing out as if it were an official endorsement. In reality, it is a misleading piece of campaign propaganda.
Second, on the question of “why”:
To understand, you need to think like a negotiator. In President Trump’s book, The Art of the Deal, he explains that you must know the competition, use your leverage, and — above all — deliver results.
That principle applies here. Despite conservative media, the Republican Party of Texas, the Texas Attorney General, and even his own son calling out Dustin Burrows, President Trump still hinted at support. Why? Because he saw that under the Texas Constitution, he couldn’t simply remove the Burrowcrats. They were entrenched. The only path forward was to negotiate.
There’s an old story that captures this point. A man asks a woman if she would spend the night with him for a million dollars. She says yes. He then asks if she would do the same for twenty dollars. She angrily replies, “What kind of woman do you think I am?” The man answers, “We’ve already established what you are. Now we’re just negotiating the price.”
President Trump knew he was dealing with people who would sell out for power and position. That meant there was always a deal to be made. I believe the real prize he sought was passage of the redistricting map in Texas, giving Republicans stronger footing in the midterms and advancing his national agenda. When Trump dangled the possibility of an endorsement, Burrows and his allies folded instantly.
Pastor Steve Riggle Endorses Jon Bouché for HD 16
September 14, 2025 | Media Inquiries: jon@bouchefortexas.com
THE WOODLANDS, TX - Grace Woodlands Senior Pastor, Steve Riggle, has endorsed Jon Bouché for House District 16. Grace Woodlands is located in The Woodlands in Montgomery County, Texas.
Grace Woodlands “prioritizes the presence of God, believes in the power of prayer, unashamedly preaches the Word of God, and boldly stands for Biblical values in our culture.”
Pastor Riggle is also the President of Grace International, a global family of 5,400 churches in 130 nations. Grace International works to connect pastors, plant churches, and equip leaders.
“What an awesome privilege we have to live in this great nation,” Pastor Riggle said. “A novel idea in our beginning; that a people could govern themselves. While no nation or governing system is perfect, that founding idea has produced what we enjoy today.”
“Freedom and the will of the people might be a bit messy, but it is a rich legacy to us and a legacy that calls us to steward it very well on our watch, and then pass it on to the next generation. That is why it is so important that we elect those to represent us who value the “American” way, and who believe we should be a nation “under” the hand of God.”
“Now more than ever, we need those who represent us to be people who are committed to these principles, and I am ready to do that in Austin,” said Jon Bouché. “Join me to RESTORE the VOICE of HD 16, and REFORM the Texas House.”
Tribute to Charles James “Charlie” Kirk
September 11, 2025 | Media Inquiries: jon@bouchefortexas.com
Today we pause to honor the remarkable life of Charles James Kirk, known to us all as Charlie. We remember him as a man of deep faith whose vision, courage, and perseverance left an enduring impact on our nation and the world. His story is forever woven into the fabric of the American way because he chose to shape the national debate not only by sharing his faith, but by delivering an empowering message of opportunity, freedom, and individual responsibility.
As the founder and president of Turning Point USA, Charlie devoted his life to equipping young people with the timeless principles of liberty, free markets, and limited government. What began as a bold idea in his teenage years grew into one of the most influential grassroots organizations in America, inspiring a new generation to stand up, speak out, and defend the values that built this great country.
Charlie was not only a builder of organizations, he was a builder of people. Through his books, speeches, radio show, and podcast, he reached millions, giving voice to truth in an age when it was too often silenced. His passion for America’s founding ideals, and his unshakable courage in defending them, made him a trusted leader and a beacon for the conservative movement.
Though Charlie is no longer with us, his legacy endures in the principles he championed, the hope he inspired, and the path he helped to clear for those who follow. His life reminds us that one person, living with conviction and courage, can change the course of history.
Let us honor his memory not only with words, but with action by carrying forward the values he held dear: faith, freedom, justice, and the belief that America is strongest when her people stand united in purpose.
As we pray for his family, may his life continue to inspire us, and may we prove worthy of the inheritance he has left behind.
Mark Ramsey Endorses Jon Bouché for HD 16
September 10, 2025 | Media Inquiries: jon@bouchefortexas.com
MONTGOMERY COUNTY, TX - Mark Ramsey has endorsed Jon Bouché for House District 16.
Mark S. Ramsey, P.E., has a proven record of effective representation at all levels over several decades. He is formerly a four-term elected State Republican Executive Committee (SREC) representative of Texas Senate District 7 (North Harris County). In December 2020, Ramsey was one of 38 Texas Members of the U.S. Electoral College, where he successfully authored and passed an historic Resolution condemning the U.S. Supreme Court’s lack of action relating to the November election fraud.
Ramsey is the only person in the history of the Republican Party of Texas to chair all three of the major state convention committees—Platform and Resolutions, Legislative Priorities, and most recently Rules. He is a former Chief of Staff for a legislator in Austin. He has also served on the Texas Education Agency (TEA) engineering curriculum committee and was invited by the Texas Sunset Commission to report on the TEA when it was up for review. Several of his recommendations led to language in proposed legislation.
In 2022, Ramsey was elected as a Director of the North Harris County Regional Water Authority (NHCRWA), defeating a 23-year incumbent by a 3:1 margin. The NHCRWA serves about 800,000 people, with about half actually getting part of their water from the NCHRWA. He previously served as President of their Board of Directors, with a laser focus on stopping the unsustainable rise in water rates in North Harris County while preserving quantities and quality of water available to residents. Since taking office, the board has saved ratepayers around $250,000,000.
Ramsey is a registered professional engineer, holding numerous U.S. and international patents, and has helped clients on six continents. He was named an Exxon “Distinguished Instructor,” and Texas Tech named him a “Distinguished Engineer,” an award for lifetime achievements that less than 1% of alumni ever receive. He and his wife, Pauline, have been married for more than 44 years, and have three grown children and five grandchildren. They worship at WoodsEdge Community Church.
“Mark Ramsey is a stalwart conservative who I have known for several years and worked with on the Rules Committee at the 2024 Texas GOP convention,” Bouché said. “I am proud to have his endorsement!”
