Rep. Tony Tinderholt: "I'm honored to have the support of County Judge Tim O'Hare and Commissioners Manny Ramierez and Matt Krause. Conservatives across Tarrant County are continuing to coalesce behind our campaign to bring real conservative leadership to the commissioner's court!"

We'll be making our voices heard."
