Vote Like A Texan Launches Statewide; Invites Candidates to Participate in Searchable Interview Series for Texas Voters

Vote Like A Texan, a new statewide election-year media initiative hosted by Justin McKenzie of The Building Texas Show, officially launches this week alongside hundreds of Texas candidates entering races across the state. The platform is now open for candidates to schedule virtual interviews that will be distributed nationally and optimized for voter search and discovery.

“As Texas communities grow, school boards set priorities, and city councils vote on ordinances that impact daily life, it’s more important than ever for voters to hear directly from the individuals seeking to lead,” said McKenzie. “I saw the opportunity to create a platform where every candidate — from local offices to statewide positions — can share their message in a searchable format that voters can easily find whether they’re using ChatGPT, AI tools, or Google.”

Vote Like A Texan provides candidates with a dedicated virtual podcast episode and a supporting press release, helping them articulate their vision in their own words. Each episode is structured to be discoverable, ensuring that when Texans search for information about local races or candidates, they’ll find clear, thoughtful interviews designed to inform and inspire participation.

Justin McKenzie has spent years traveling Texas and interviewing leaders on The Building Texas Show — a program known for its wide-ranging conversations with elected officials, business leaders, and remarkable Texans shaping the state’s future. Through these discussions, Justin observed a clear and growing need: Texans want accessible, trustworthy information about the people making decisions in their communities.

The mission is straightforward: to educate, inform, and encourage Texans to vote — in the primaries, in the run-offs, and in November.
