Why Junior Ezeonu Is the Bold, Visionary Leader Texas House District 101 Needs

In a time when Texas faces complex challenges, from economic inequality to climate resilience, voters in House District 101 have a rare opportunity to elect a leader who embodies both lived experience and transformative vision. That leader is Junior Ezeonu, a trailblazer whose journey from Onitsha, Nigeria to the heart of Grand Prairie, Texas is a testament to perseverance, excellence, and community-driven leadership.

A Story Rooted in Texas

Junior Ezeonu’s story is deeply woven into the fabric of Texas. Moving to the state at just two years old, he grew up attending local schools—Bryant Elementary, Barnett Junior High, and Bowie High School—before graduating Summa Cum Laude from the University of Texas at Arlington with a degree in Political Science. His academic success reflects not just intelligence, but a relentless commitment to understanding the systems that shape our lives.

Proven Leadership at Every Level

At just 22, Junior made history by defeating a twelve-year incumbent to win a seat on the Grand Prairie City Council. He became the youngest-ever elected member and one of the few African-American council members since the early 1990s. By 26, he was named Mayor Pro Tem, again setting records and proving that age is no barrier to impact when vision and integrity lead the way.

His record on the council speaks volumes:

  • Lowered property tax rates to ease the burden on working families.
  • Raised minimum wages for city employees to $15/hr (part-time) and $17.82/hr (full-time), setting a new standard for municipal equity.
  • Launched affordable transportation programs, ensuring mobility for all residents.
  • Funded affordable housing initiatives to combat displacement and promote stability.
  • Took action on climate change, recognizing the urgency of environmental stewardship.

A Fresh Perspective for Texas

Junior Ezeonu is not a career politician, he’s a community builder. His candidacy represents a generational shift toward bold, inclusive, and forward-thinking governance. He understands the struggles of everyday Texans because he’s lived them. And he’s not afraid to challenge the status quo to deliver results.

District 101 deserves a representative who will fight for:

  • Economic justice and fair wages.
  • Accessible healthcare and housing.
  • Climate resilience and infrastructure investment.
  • Educational equity and opportunity for all.

The Moment Is Now

This election isn’t just about choosing a candidate; it’s about choosing a future. Junior Ezeonu is ready to stand on the front lines for the community that raised him. His leadership is grounded in service, his vision shaped by experience, and his resolve forged by the people of Grand Prairie.

Vote for Junior Ezeonu, because Texas needs leaders who don’t just talk about change, but live it.

Emeka Eluka

Democracy Needs Builders, Not Shouters: Why District 67 Should Choose Emeka Eluka

Democracy is fragile. It doesn’t survive on slogans or soundbites—it survives on leaders who build, not just talk. “Leadership isn’t about being the loudest voice in the room. It’s about building the strongest foundation for the people you serve,” says Emeka Eluka. That belief is more than words; it’s a blueprint for the future of District 67.

A Community Rooted in Hard Work

Emeka’s story begins with immigrant parents who taught him the value of perseverance and education. For over 15 years, he has called Collin County home, watching it grow from quiet suburbs into a thriving hub. He knows the promise of this community—and the challenges that come with growth: traffic jams, overcrowded schools, rising costs. His roots here aren’t political—they’re personal.

An Engineer Who Solves, Not Spins

While others debate infrastructure in abstract terms, Emeka has designed it. As a licensed civil engineer, he understands that widening roads alone won’t solve tomorrow’s problems. He sees the bigger picture: smart, integrated planning that prepares District 67 for the next generation, not just the next election cycle. Texans deserve solutions, not slogans.

Service Beyond Career

On the local school board, Emeka fought to keep classrooms manageable and teachers supported. He knows that the true wealth of Collin County lies in its children. His record proves he doesn’t just talk about education—he defends it.

Priorities That Put Families First

  • Strong Public Schools Without Raising Property Taxes: Increase state funding, end wasteful corporate giveaways, and relieve the burden on local taxpayers.
  • Real Property Tax Relief: Stabilize appraisals, lower local tax rates, and bring transparency to a system that too often leaves families paying more.
  • Affordable Healthcare: Cut red tape, expand access, and support both patients and small businesses.
  • Smart Growth & Infrastructure: Invest responsibly in roads, water systems, and emergency services so growth strengthens communities instead of overwhelming them.
  • Safe Communities & Responsible Gun Safety: Respect responsible gun owners while advancing commonsense protections for children, families, and first responders.
  • Support for Small Businesses & Working Families: Streamline permitting, reduce bureaucracy, and strengthen workforce pipelines through partnerships with local schools and Collin College.

Moving Texas Forward

Emeka Eluka isn’t running to wage culture wars. He’s running to deliver results. His campaign is about listening, solving, and putting people above partisan politics. District 67 doesn’t need more division—it needs a leader who builds foundations for the future.

The Call to Action

The promise of democracy is only as strong as the leaders we elect to protect it. District 67 has a choice: more of the same, or a leader who calculates solutions, serves with heart, and builds for tomorrow.

Help elect Emeka Eluka. Protect the promise of democracy.
