I am so excited about this news for several reasons. First, I want to say kudos to both of you for unifying! I am so proud of you both.
@Regina – OMG! I am so down for this! You have been so supportive of my leadership efforts here in Comal County and not only have you been great support, you have also become a friend. I look forward to continuing my support for you and helping you win this election!
@Dan – I have had the pleasure of getting to know you and what you stand for and I have so much admiration for the work you are doing and for your military service. Thank you. Since meeting you, I have felt like you are someone special and that you are needed in this movement. I still feel this way. I commend you for recognizing the need to unify the party and for being selfless…for the people. I look forward to working with you on so many things. We all have plenty of work to do.
@Both – I am sure I don’t just speak for myself when I say that THIS IS WHAT COMMUNITY UNITY LOOKS LIKE!
Facebook Announcement from Dr. Regina Vanburg; https://www.facebook.com/story.php?story_fbid=pfbid0noT7rmWt4bTvJHbcGmqjWcuX5rS3kAB8SrzpVRYHsjz6qsDDtthEgAeuSrQidEFFl&id=61578594298955&_rdr
Texas Hill Country – In a defining moment for the Texas 21st Congressional District race, candidate Dan Weber has formally suspended his campaign and thrown his full support behind Dr. Regina Vanburg. This endorsement marks a significant turning point in the primary, signaling a unified front dedicated to flipping the district and serving the people of Texas 21st Congressional District.
The Vanburg campaign characterizes this move as “revolutionary”—a rare display of political selflessness where a candidate prioritizes the collective goal of the party and the well-being of the district over personal ambition. By coalescing support now, the campaign aims to focus all resources and the issues that matter most to local families.
A Statement from Dan Weber:
Dan Weber is a combat Marine and law enforcement veteran, and provided the following statement:
“Over the last year, I have spoken at dozens of events to nearly 40,000 people. I’ve helped organize hundreds of volunteers following the July 4th floods, and I’ve watched systems of government designed to protect us turn into the very tools of terror they were empowered to fight. I swore that I would never stop fighting to represent the people of District 21, my home, unless there was somebody I felt confident would be a better congressperson than myself. That person is Regina Vanburg.
I have asked, and demanded that the Sheriffs, Constables, Police Chiefs, Mayors, Representatives, and Senators sacrifice their wealth, careers, time, liberty, and even safety to stand up against the masked tide of bigoted oppression pouring through our streets and homes. I sacrifice, confidently, my candidacy for United States Congress so that we may not waste the weeks we have from now until March splitting the donations, time, and effort of so many people all fighting for the same thing. I stand side by side with Regina and am fortunate to call her my next Congresswoman.”
A Statement from Dr. Regina Vanburg:
“Today, I want to publicly recognize the profound character of Dan Weber. In an era where politics is often driven by ego, Dan has shown us what true selflessness looks like. It takes immense courage and honor to step back for the greater good, and Dan’s decision to suspend his race to unify our campaigns is nothing short of honorable. He has chosen to move us forward as a whole, rather than thinking of himself, and for that, he has my deepest respect and gratitude.
To Dan: Thank you. Your passion for this district has been evident in every step of your journey.
To Dan’s supporters: I welcome you with open arms. I know how hard you have worked and how much you care about the future of Texas 21. I want you to know that there is a home for you in this campaign. Your energy and your voices are vital to our success.
I am not just accepting an endorsement today; I am accepting a partnership. I look forward to Dan’s active input and counsel as we continue this journey. Together, we are stronger, and together, we will deliver real results for all the people of Texas 21.”
Moving Forward Together
The Vanburg campaign is immediately integrating Weber’s policy insights and volunteer network to ensure a seamless transition. This coalition sets the stage for a powerful general election push, united by a shared vision of progress, integrity, and representation for every constituent in the district.
