As our third speaker at Dawn of a Golden Era 2025, Mitch Little brought a commanding blend of constitutional clarity, courtroom experience, and moral conviction. A proud graduate of Harvard with a law degree from the University of Texas (which, as an Aggie, I will graciously overlook), Little has gained national attention for his defense of Attorney General Ken Paxton during impeachment proceedings. But last night, he wasn’t speaking as a defense lawyer — he was speaking as a fellow Texan, and a fierce believer in the preservation of this Republic.
He came from Denton County, but his message hit home here in Bexar County and beyond: “The Golden Era only remains if we keep it.”
Elections — Then Borders
What stood out immediately was the order of priorities in his message:
First, secure our elections. Then, secure our borders.
It wasn’t a throwaway line — it was a deliberate ordering. Little understands that without trustworthy elections, every other policy decision is at risk. If the people cannot choose their leaders in a lawful and transparent way, then no defense at the border — or anywhere else — will hold.
In a culture dominated by distraction, he brought the focus back to the essentials. In his words, we’ve spent the last three months fighting three fronts pushed by the left:
-
Vaccines
-
Elections
-
Gender ideology
And he made clear: this isn’t a policy debate. It’s a fight for the very soul of the country.
The Prosecutor’s Power — and the DA’s Neglect
Little made a powerful point that few address directly: local corruption in the justice system. He explained that while Attorney General Paxton is committed to prosecuting election violations, many Democrat District Attorneys are refusing to enforce the law. The result? Lawlessness by design. Political DAs are undermining the legal system from within.
This is not theoretical — it’s happening in counties across Texas and the nation.
Little’s solution is both constitutional and actionable: empower the Attorney General to bypass or override non-compliant DAs when election law violations occur. Integrity must be enforced at all levels — not selectively, and not just when politically convenient.
Proverbs and Personal Duty
He closed with a reference that deeply resonated with me:
Proverbs 3:27–28
Do not withhold good from those to whom it is due, when it is in your power to do it.
Do not say to your neighbor, “Go, and come again, tomorrow I will give it” — when you have it with you.
This wasn’t just scripture — it was a call to action. A rebuke of complacency. A reminder that if we know what is right, and we have the power to do it, then delay is not just cowardice — it is disobedience.
That verse underscores everything I believe about Free & Fair Elections for All People. The tools are in our hands. The knowledge is in our heads. The conviction is in our hearts.
We must not wait.
My Reflection
Mitch Little reminded us that election integrity is not abstract — it is the gatekeeper to every other freedom. His speech drew the line clearly between what is at stake and who must act. That means voters, poll workers, local election officials, and lawmakers — and it means citizens like you and me, here in Bexar County. This event was hosted in Comal County but my intial focus is in Bexar County.
We cannot shrug off our responsibilities to some future moment. The moment is now.
The Golden Era is not inevitable.
It is conditional.
Stay tuned for the next speaker post in this blog series. Each voice adds another beam of light in this movement for secure elections and accountable government.
And remember:
The Golden Era ends if excesses go unchecked — or if good people grow complacent.
