Endorsement

Rockwall, TX — Air Force Reserve officer, constitutional lawyer, and seventh-generation Texan Jace Yarbrough today announced the endorsement of Rockwall City Councilwoman Melba Jeffus, who currently represents Place 3 and previously served as President of Rockwall County Republican Women. 

“I proudly endorse Jace Yarbrough for Congress because he is a strong conservative fighter who will relentlessly advance President Trump’s America First agenda in Washington,” said Rockwall City Councilwoman Melba Jeffus.  "Jace’s proven commitment to our shared values makes him the ideal choice to represent Rockwall in TX-32 and deliver real results for our communities.”

Jeffus’s endorsement adds to the growing wave of conservative support behind Yarbrough’s campaign since its launch, including endorsements from members of Congress, Texas state representatives, conservative grassroots leaders, and issue-focused advocacy organizations.

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.
