BanDanTX is accountability, with receipts. It is a running, cited record of what Texas Lieutenant Governor Dan Patrick has actually done in office — pulled from public votes, on-the-record statements, and credible reporting. The tone is sharp and satirical. The facts are not.
The one rule
Every factual claim on this site links to a credible, verifiable source. If a claim can't be sourced, it doesn't get published — not softened, not hedged, dropped. We don't traffic in rumor, personal harassment, or conspiracy theories. You should be able to click through and check our work on every single line. That is the entire point.
Who this is for
This isn't a left-vs-right pitch. Plenty of the people most hurt by Dan Patrick's priorities — small-business owners, rural school districts, hemp farmers, ratepayers staring at their electric bills — voted for him. The argument here is simple: look at the record, then decide whether it matches what he promised you.
The alternative
Where relevant, we point to State Rep. Vikki Goodwin, who is running for Lieutenant Governor. Disagree with her? Fine. The point is that Texas has a choice, and an incumbent should have to earn the job against his record.
