El Paso, Texas – Republican congressional candidate Brandon Herrera is taking his campaign directly to voters in El Paso County with three town‑hall meetings on Tuesday, October 28, and Wednesday, October 29. The events give residents a chance to hear Herrera’s vision for the 23rd District and ask questions before the November 3 election.
Tuesday’s stops focus on military families and community hubs
Herrera will begin Tuesday at Fort Bliss, the Army installation that anchors the local economy, from 11:30 a.m. to 1:00 p.m. The town hall is intended to connect with service members, veterans, and their families, emphasizing national security, border‑security measures, and economic growth that the Trump administration has championed.
Afterward, Herrera will travel to the Texas 20 Event Center in Clint for an evening town hall. The venue, located just east of the city, provides a convenient gathering place for residents of the eastern part of the county. Herrera plans to discuss his stance on immigration enforcement, support for traditional families, and policies that protect individual liberty.
Wednesday’s meet‑and‑greet with Texas Land Commissioner Dawn Buckingham
On Wednesday, Herrera will join Texas Land Commissioner Dawn Buckingham for a joint meet‑and‑greet and town hall at Shack Wings & Brews in Northeast El Paso. The partnership highlights a shared commitment to responsible land use, water‑rights protection, and fostering a business‑friendly environment that benefits local entrepreneurs and families.
Attendees can expect a candid conversation about the candidate’s priorities, including tax relief, infrastructure investment, and education choices that empower parents to direct their children’s schooling.
Why the town halls matter for voters
These in‑person events give voters a rare opportunity to hear directly from the candidate rather than through campaign ads. Herrera’s campaign emphasizes his experience in the private sector, his dedication to defending constitutional freedoms, and his support for policies that strengthen the nation’s economy and protect the sanctity of the family.
Local residents who attend will also receive information on how to register and vote, ensuring that the community is prepared for the upcoming election. The events are free and open to the public, with no RSVP required.
Election context
Herrera is challenging Democratic nominee Katy Padilla Stout for the 23rd Congressional District, a seat that has seen competitive races in recent cycles. The district covers a large swath of West Texas, including El Paso, and is a key battleground for the 2026 midterm elections.
Both campaigns have been active on the ground, holding rallies, door‑to‑door canvassing, and virtual town halls. Herrera’s schedule this week underscores his commitment to meeting constituents where they live and work, a strategy that aligns with the Trump administration’s focus on grassroots outreach.
How to get involved
Voters interested in attending any of the three town halls can find exact locations and times on Herrera’s campaign website. The campaign encourages residents to bring friends and family, emphasizing the importance of a united community voice at the ballot box.
