James Barbee - Congress District 19

06/05/2026

Good Evening
Iv’e set back for a couple of months now and watched how things would progress. I have weighed in with my support for Tom Sell because I believe he’s the best candidate for our 19th district. Our district is one of the biggest producing agricultural districts in the world and Tom has been fighting for these people for years. I feel with no doubt that Tom will do what’s best for our district and our country.
I believe that the average person is misinformed and perhaps doesn’t understand the most important issues that face us as citizens.
Unfortunately fake news is not just something you can blame on the national media. Local outlets both TV and Radio are guilty of the same.
I hope everyone understands that our Government doesn’t earn a penny. Every thing they spend is money they took from the hard working Americans of this Country.
It’s my belief that they should be spending this money wisely and on the Americans they’re supposed to be representing.
I know that most believe that their vote doesn’t matter or that we can’t change the direction of our country. This is so far from the truth! You can make a difference! Get involved, talk to the people you know and be an advocate for Liberty! Our founders did this very thing, otherwise there would be no America!
We will be asked once again in November to exercise our right and our duty to Vote. I ask you please to participate in this Patriotic Duty!!!
Don’t be confused by the pundits. Educate yourself and let your heart guide you and your decision. We will never all agree on everything but we should be able to agree on what’s best for our Country . When you include what’s best for others your decisions become easy.
Sincerely
James Barbee

As we pause today to remember those who have made the ultimate sacrifice on the altar of freedom, It’s so important that we remember that freedom isn’t free.
Our country has become complacent. We have not just the RIGHT but the DUTY to exercise our civic responsibilities to HONOR these people and their SACRIFICES!
We’ve quit teaching civics in schools and have begun erasing our history to our own detriment.
The best way to HONOR these HEROES is to exercise your rights! VOTE, HELP your neighbors and as JESUS SAID “ LOVE YE ONE ANOTHER AS I HAVE LOVED YOU.” And“ GREATER LOVE HATH NO MAN THAN TO LAY DOWN HIS LIFE FOR ANOTHER.”
Don’t let your time pass! Exercise your rights! This I believe is the only way that we truly make our Country great again!
God bless you and God bless our Country.
Sincerely
James Barbee

Good Evening
Early voting has begun and I feel the need to weigh in at this point.
In John chapter 8, Jesus said “ Let ye who is without sin cast the first stone.” I know that in the political arena we often see many stones cast. I’ve never believed it appropriate but it happens. I do believe however that if you claim to be a Christian ( Christ Like) this is a pretty significant verse. I’m not sure how important my thoughts are at this point but I feel the need to express them regardless. Don’t be fooled by the pundits wishing to influence you in one way or another. Everyone should educate themselves on every candidate and make an informed decision. I have a problem with any candidate who claims to be Christian but is clearly willing to abandon their beliefs in order to win a position. Remember the person you choose as the next Representative from the 19th district should be a reflection of your beliefs and values. I know we all struggle on a day to day basis but having been involved in this race myself, I can promise that most comments are well thought out before spoken. You should educate yourself and then search your heart as to whom you believe best reflects your values. Tom Sell is who I believe best represents my beliefs. He’s refused to personally attack anyone to win this position. He has defended himself which I believe to be appropriate. He’s a Christian, Experienced and I believe best represents the values of the people in our district. While Tom and I don’t have the same approach to every issue, I have no doubt that we will be proud to have him as our Representative. May God bless you all and may God bless our Country.
Sincerely
James Barbee

Good Morning!!
The time has come once again to exercise not just your right but your civic duty. Early voting begins on the 18th and election day is the 26th. It’s not for me to tell anyone how to vote but I’ve chosen to endorse Tom Sell for the following reasons.
1) He understands our National Debt problem and is committed to returning our country back to a balanced budget.
2) He’s dedicated to resolving the high price of healthcare and will do everything possible to lower cost.
3) He understands the way to achieve progress is by building a coalition with people regardless of their political affiliation.
As a Constitutionalist, I hold out hope that there are still decent people in both parties that are truly serving our country for the right reasons and have their constituents best interests at heart.
I believe Tom Sell to be one of these people. I know that the Agricultural community in our district does as well.
Let’s stand together as West Texans and send Tom to represent our values at the Federal level.
Sincerely
James Barbee

Join me this Saturday in support of our next US CONGRESSMAN. Let’s stand together in support of someone who has ,and will continue to support the Agricultural communities in District 19. I believe Tom will continue to do the best things for our District, State and Country. Remember, Your VOTE is the most powerful thing you possess. Now,more than ever,we need experienced leadership. It’s my belief that Tom understands all the issues we now face as a country and will do all he can to support the resolutions that will benefit us all. We’re fortunate to have someone who understands the needs of our district and is willing to perform the civic duty to represent us at the Federal level. I hope to see you all there!!
Sincerely
James Barbee

I’ve decided due to several comments that have come to my attention that I should make a statement. I guess these people who claim to be conservative Republicans are more like the Democrats than they know. Accusing myself and others of receiving money for our endorsement without any proof is not only ridiculous it’s slander! I can’t speak for everyone but I decided to support Tom Sell not because I dislike Abraham but because he was the only other candidate in this race besides myself who understands the urgency of our Nation’s debt. He was the only other candidate willing to address the issue! I believe Tom knows the urgency our country has to resolve this problem and I believe He will do all he can to get our country back to a balanced budget. For this reason I am happy to support Tom and his campaign. It’s beyond me how people who claim to be conservative could make such terrible accusations. I believe the partisan politics in our country is more than 90% of our problems. I know we can’t control others attitudes but we should do all we can to bring our country together for the good of all people.
God bless you all and God bless our Country!!
Sincerely
James B. Barbee

I want to say thank you to everyone who supported me. While this didn’t turn out the way I hoped it would, I believe the Lord has a plan for us all. I wish the best of luck to the winners. May God bless you all and may God bless our Country.
Sincerely
James Barbee
