In this episode of Seeing Red, Garrett Fulce sits down with Aaron Reitz, candidate for Texas Attorney General. Reitz draws on his background as a Marine Corps officer, senior attorney under Ken Paxton, and Trump-era DOJ official to outline why he believes he’s the most qualified contender for Texas’s top legal job.

They dig into:

• His time leading 46 lawsuits against the Biden administration
• His plan to go on legal offense against federal overreach and urban corruption.
• Why he sees the AG’s office as “a combat post, not a stepping-stone.”
• How military discipline and faith shape his leadership style.

It’s an insider’s look at a pivotal race in 2026 Texas politics—one that could define the next decade of conservatism.

In this episode of Seeing Red, Garrett Fulce sits down with Charlie Kolean, Texas State Director for Americans for Citizen Voting, to discuss Proposition 16, a proposed constitutional amendment that would guarantee only U.S. citizens can vote in all Texas elections. Kolean breaks down how this measure came to be, why it took three legislative sessions to reach the ballot, and what it means for Texas and the broader national movement toward citizen-only voting.

Together, Garrett and Charlie unpack the legislative mechanics, opposition talking points, and what Kolean calls “a common-sense safeguard” against the kind of local voting expansions seen in San Francisco, New York, and Washington, D.C. The discussion also digs into bipartisan coalition-building, misconceptions around voter eligibility, and the strategic effort to pass similar amendments in states like Michigan and Ohio.

This episode offers both a civics lesson and a deep dive into how Texas policy ripples across the nation.
