Endorsement

Rockwall, TX — Air Force Reserve officer, constitutional lawyer, and seventh-generation Texan Jace Yarbrough today announced he has earned the endorsement of House Majority Leader Steve Scalise in the Republican primary for Texas’s 32nd Congressional District. With Scalise’s support, Yarbrough has now secured the backing of the top three Republican leaders in the U.S. House: Speaker Mike Johnson, Majority Leader Steve Scalise, and Majority Whip Tom Emmer.

“I am proud to endorse Jace Yarbrough for Texas's 32nd congressional district,” said House Majority Leader Steve Scalise. “An Air Force veteran and constitutional lawyer, Jace has repeatedly defended our Constitution, taking on and defeating the Radical Left in court. He's the Trump-endorsed candidate we need in Congress to continue fighting for faith, freedom, and President Trump's America First agenda.”

Scalise’s endorsement adds to the growing coalition backing Yarbrough’s campaign, including President Donald J. Trump, Turning Point Action, Governor Greg Abbott, members of Congress, Texas state legislators, and a broad alliance of national, statewide, and local conservative grassroots, Second Amendment, pro-life, and family advocacy organizations.

About Jace

A husband and father of five, Yarbrough has spent his life defending faith, family, and the constitutional freedoms that define the Texas way of life. A descendant of a veteran of the Texas Revolution, he continues to serve as an officer in the U.S. Air Force Reserves and has built a legal career taking on progressive overreach in the courts.

Following his military service, Yarbrough became a constitutional lawyer, where he challenged religious discrimination, fought unconstitutional COVID vaccine mandates, opposed the misuse of taxpayer dollars for abortion travel, and defended First Amendment rights against government overreach. His legal work has included successful efforts to protect first responders, parents, and children from unlawful mandates and a far-left, woke ideology.

Yarbrough earned degrees in Electrical Engineering and Government from the University of Texas at Austin and a law degree from Stanford Law School. With his wife Elizabeth, he founded Saint Francis Academy, a classical Christian school rooted in faith and academic excellence. The Yarbrough family is active in their local church and is raising five children.

Texas’s 32nd Congressional District encompasses parts of Northern and Eastern Texas, including Camp, Collin, Dallas, Hunt, Rains, Rockwall, Upshur, and Wood Counties.
