J Gordon Mitchell

This Suicide Prevention Month, I have a simple challenge: once a week, call someone you haven’t talked to in a while. A single check-in can be the lifeline they didn’t know they needed. Let’s talk. Let’s listen. Let’s stand together. 💛

Weather Service is now hiring back hundreds of positions that got cut in the DOGE chaos | CNN The National Weather Service has received permission to hire 450 meteorologists, hydrologists and radar technicians just months after being hit hard by Department of Government Efficiency-related cuts...

Pete Sessions chaired the DOGE Caucus. DOGE claimed $200B “savings.” Independent reviews say it’s closer to a tenth of that. The Senate says it may have actually COST $22B. Now, agencies are scrambling to rehire. This is why I’m running to replace Pete Sessions. Because Leadership Matters.

I changed my name from MacKay to Mitchell to honor the ancestry that shaped me. It was years in the making, deeply personal, and long overdue. Mitchell is who I am—and I carry it with pride, integrity, and a sense of wholeness I’ve never known before.

ICE smashed Noe Guerrero’s window & dragged him from his truck—for a paperwork error. Pete Sessions says nothing. I’ll be at Franklin Ave on 8/5. And when I get to Congress, I’m dismantling ICE brick by brick. Enough of this. #FreeNoe #TX17 #AbolishICE #SessionsIsSilent

Time to kick in some doors and send the corrupt yes-men in Washington packing. I didn’t serve 27 years to watch cowards dismantle our democracy. I'm running for Congress in TX-17. Follow me — it's about to get real.

I was honored to attend the Blue Texas rally in Plan yesterday, hosted by the Collin County Dems. The turnout? Massive! So big they had to split it into two events. That’s the energy we need across Texas. #TX17 #BlueTexas

The Texas Legislature is back for a special session. Here’s what we’re watching. Lawmakers will have 30 days to tackle a packed agenda outlined by Gov. Greg Abbott, from flood relief to redistricting to THC products.

Texas Republicans are hijacking a flood recovery session to push mid-decade redistricting. It’s not leadership—it’s a betrayal. I support a walkout if backed by the DNC. If TX grabs 5 seats, blue states must take 15. I’m not backing down. Let’s fight smart. Let’s fight together.

Back in Waco with Waco Friends of Climate—raising awareness, building friendships, and launching a new tradition: community trash pickups! I am honored to serve alongside real boots-on-the-ground, get-it-done leaders. This is what service looks like. #LeadershipMatters #TX17 #ClimateAction

Public ed needs real solutions, not culture wars. My 6-part plan invests in students, supports teachers, expands pre-K & after-school care, brings vets into classrooms, and shields schools from political games. Details coming this week. Let’s fix it. Please share with Texans! #LeadershipMatters

Texas Republicans admit the maps they drew are racially biased—now they’re stuck. Redrawing them fairly means safer GOP seats get risky. We show up, we organize, and we flip the script. If they redraw the map, we redraw the future. #TX17 #Redistricting #PowerBackToThePeople

I'm J Gordon Mitchell, and I am running for Congress in Texas's 17th Congressional District.

Public education in Texas is under coordinated attack. I’ve seen it firsthand—and I’ve lived the cost. Abbott and his billionaire backers are defunding our schools and selling off our future. I’m taking this fight to Congress. Please join me in this fight. J Gordon Mitchell for Congress, CD-17.

Just nauseating on so many… on EVERY level imaginable.

Saturday, July 5, getting ready to go to Kerrville. It was a difficult couple of days. The part that hurts most is that this was largely preventable. The experience has further steeled my resolve to serve as your next Congressman. Website and campaign launch in the coming days. Leadership matters.

I’m running for Texas House District 17 to bring real, people-first leadership to a district long ignored by partisan politics. It’s time to serve—not posture. Please SHARE this across all socials. Let’s get to work. thank you!

Women’s health is once again under attack in Texas, led by Bryan Hughes who has brought a bill so draconian that it makes the Salem Witch Trials look like an awards show.

These attacks must be met with fierce opposition!

“School choice” is a scam. Watch this video for more.

Trump Amplifies “No LGBTQ” Symbol Using Nazi-Era Imagery in Military Ad Post Trump’s Truth Social post has a pink triangle overlayed with a prohibition symbol

We're here, folks. This is full-on Nazi-America, and we are but a moment away from mass roundups, camps, and death squads. No?

WHEN IN AMERICAN HISTORY HAS IT EVER BEEN ACCEPTABLE FOR A SITTING PRESIDENT TO USE SUCH IMAGERY TO TARGET A SUBSET OF AMERICAN CITIZENS??

Martial law is coming fast.

And the sooner we ALL understand this, the better our chances will be of staving off this disaster.

The universities are next Friends,

If you’ve ever wondered what you would do in the event of a coup in America, you’re doing it right now.

It is hard to fathom how so many people are just sitting idly by and watching the dismantling of our institutions.

The parallels between our current situation and Nazi Germany are stunning.

We had a good turnout Saturday in Austin, Texas. Thank you Lloyd Doggett, Elizabeth Warren and all
of the other speakers, guests and organizers.

Now if only Tesla’s heinous leader would follow suit….

Elizabeth Warren is on point in Austin, TX!

Amazing group of TRUE American freedom fighters in central Texas!

No lies detected in ATX

Perfect weather for making our voices heard in Austin, Texas!

Musk’s utterly spectacular dumb-ass move is further evidence of his absolute inability to actually run a business.

As an aside, name any other person in Washington who gets to dismantle government agencies WHILE HOLDING active government contracts.

It’s just insane.

This!

I now follow you, wise person.

What, and force them to acknowledge the white privilege that allows them behave in that way?

Tall order (61-year-old white, cis male here who agrees with you 100%!)
