Lt. Gov. Dan Patrick, U.S. Sen. Ted Cruz, State Sen. Brandon Creighton, joined by more than 80 Texans and Local Leaders, in supporting Dr. Ray Callas for Texas House District 21

BEAUMONT, TX – Today, Dr. Ray Callas released a list of more than 80 endorsements from local, state, and national Conservative voices backing his campaign for Texas House District 21. Included in the list are Lieutenant Governor Dan Patrick, U.S. Senator Ted Cruz, former Texas Agriculture Commissioner Todd Staples, State Senator Brandon Creighton, State Senator Donna Campbell, businessman and philanthropist Tillman Fertitta, Jasper County Sheriff Chuck Havard, Beaumont City Councilman Mike Williams, and former Jefferson County Sheriff Carl Griffith.

“I am honored and humbled to have so many people getting behind this campaign,” Dr. Callas said. “Stepping up to serve comes naturally to me, which is why I continue to volunteer—from the military to medical school to public service. The folks endorsing this campaign care deeply about Texas, and they know I will put it all on the line to keep Texas safe and protect our communities."

The list of endorsements follows early backers Lieutenant Governor Dan Patrick and U.S. Senator Ted Cruz, who both endorsed Dr. Callas shortly after announcing his candidacy for Texas House District 21. Dr. Callas is building support from across Jefferson, Orange, and Jasper Counties as he prepares for the upcoming Republican Primary race on March 3, 2026.
