He has been a precinct chair, election judge, and Treasurer of both the Texas GOP and Tarrant County GOP. A strong supporter of President Trump, Fred has been in the trenches for decades, electing conservative Republicans and stopping the radical left agenda.

Fred Tate has delivered conservative results for Texas time and time again. In every leadership role he has held, from the Judicial Conduct Commission to the Trinity River Authority, Fred has proven he can cut through bureaucracy, expose what politicians try to hide, and deliver results for taxpayers.
