On Saturday the 14th, Rennie Mann officially opened his 2026 campaign for the senate. Approximately 100 area citizens and local business owners attended to hear Rennie’s plans for the race.
Dr. Barry Fikes opened in prayer and directed the evening’s proceedings. One of Rennie’s platform issues is the matter of Veteran care. T.J. Weeks from the Veterans Alliance spoke about the serious need for reform in the VA and in the care offered to our veterans. He revealed the many problems faced by injured and sick veterans and praised Mr. Mann for his standing on this issue.
The opening speaker was local schoolteacher and San Saba News & Star columnist Sue Ransom. Sue touted the integrity she has seen in Rennie over the last 14 years in the face of many issues attached to being a member of a local school board. She pointed out his steadfastness on conservative issues and active participation in local issues. She mentioned that Rennie is a firm supporter of President-elect Trump’s America First agenda. One of the points Sue made was that we send good people to Congress, but the Swamp leads them astray. A change needs to be made after a few terms. Sue closed her address by urging the audience to support Rennie with their vote and with their pocketbooks amd saying, 'Texas needs a staunch conservative.'
Rennie Mann then addressed the audience for about 30 minutes outlining his platform and reasons for running. He believes in term limits, a balanced budget and a strong border. He is a firm Trump conservative and believes that Trump will need men and women who will back Cleanup afterwards was completed around 9 p.m.
Feedback
Those who benefited from the 2nd Annual Holiday Community Meal were grateful and appreciative. As they would leave, they would poke their heads in the kitchen to tell the volunteers how thankful they were.
