Ahead of the November 4, 2025 election, SPM President Charlie Kolean spoke for Americans for Citizens Voting in support of Texas Proposition 16, the Citizenship Voting Requirement Amendment.
"Due to home rule, a local municipality can say, 'hey, we're going to choose who can vote in our local elections.' By voting yes, Texas is sending a simple message that only U.S. citizens should be voting in our elections."
Texans approved Proposition 16 with about 72% of the vote, carrying all but one of the state's 254 counties.
