Brian Birdwell is the kind of courageous conservative Texans need serving us in the Legislature, promoting sound fiscal policy, working for meaningful tax reform, and promoting the interests of the Lone Star State,” said Michael Quinn Sullivan, president of Empower Texans. “Col. Birdwell will stand against ObamaCare, and for Texas' -- and all Texans' -- constitutional rights. In the May 8 special election, Brian Birdwell is the conservative's first choice for State Senate.”

Bill Crocker

“One of the most important issues in politics today is that Republicans need to be role models of good character. Brian’s story shows that the terrorist attack against the Pentagon did not produce character in Birdwell; rather it revealed his character. Texas needs Brian Birdwell in the State Senate."

David Barton
Former Texas GOP State Vice Chairman

“Brian Birdwell is a man who will bring government back to the people he serves, he has seen the trials and tribulations of government at work and will not be a part of the continued ‘it’s not my problem attitude’ and ‘personal agendas’….He will stand up for EVERYONE and be a unified voice for the people he represents.”

“It has been my great privilege to have known Brian Birdwell since he was an infant. I had the privilege of serving as his family’s minister in Fort Worth, Texas. I have watched Brian grow into a man of character, courage and commitment. Brian has committed his life to the service of his fellow man both at home and abroad. I strongly support Retired Lt. Colonel Brian Birdwell for the District 22 State Senate Seat. Brian will represent us all with dignity and pride that will make us all proud.”

“I am excited to hear that Lt. Col. (Ret.) Brian Birdwell is running for the Texas Senate District 22 seat that was recently vacated. I’ve known him for the past two years and, from the first day we met, felt strongly that he was the type of man who needed to be in public office.

Brian has a command presence that instills confidence in those around them. He digs into issues to understand them from the ground up while his communication skills allow him to present and discuss solutions in a very open-minded and approachable manner. Today, more than any other time in our history, our Constitution should be the backbone of our future, and Brian Birdwell’s deep conservative roots and Christian principles will provide solid ground for this fight.

Having sacrificed through one of the darkest moments of our history, Brian shows an absolute, unquestioned love for our country. He’s fought for our nation, and was tested under some of the most difficult circumstances known to man. With his wife, Mel, and son, Matt, by his side, he fought back, persevered, and conquered that adversity. He’s a living, walking testament to the type of courage and bravery that made our nation strong, and his story is an inspiration to millions.

I would be so proud to have a man like Brian Birdwell serving as my Senator in Austin.”

"I have studied and followed Brian for several years. His career as a military officer cut short by the events of September 11 demonstrated his willingness to serve his country. His willingness to share his personal spiritual experiences demonstrated his love of God. His public speeches and frequent attendance at various rallies tied with his announcement of candidacy for the Republican Nomination for Texas Senate District 22 has demonstrated his willingness to serve the people.
