Carmen "La Tejana" Cavazos

Chief Executive Officer

As a United States Marine Corps Veteran, Carmen Cavazos knows the importance of protecting our country. Her desire to serve Texas led to her recent career shift, where she serves on the frontlines of election integrity efforts in Harris County, one of the country's largest and most challenging election environments. 

Carmen served as the Deputy Primary Director for the Harris County Republican Party during the 2022 Primary and Primary Runoff. She joined the Republican Party of Texas as a Regional Director of Election Integrity where Carmen worked to ensure that Harris County was a core focus in the statewide effort to protect the vote. Her passion and dedication continues with her current role with Texas Eagle Forum as the Harris County Regional Director.

Carmen also serves her community as HCRP Precinct Chair to 763, and a member of the HCRP Engagement Committee. 

She is a proud member as Campaign Director of the Baytown Republican Women Club, a member of John Birch Society Club, and Texas Tea Party Republican Women's club.  She also serves as a member of the McLemore Detachment #4 Marine Corps League (the oldest detachment in the nation founded in 1923).

Additionally, Carmen holds the title of Christian, Wife, Aunt, and Patriot close to her heart. These roles are the catalyst for her service to others.
