Jonathan Mitchell for U.S. Congress

🗣 My name is Jonathan "Pipeliner" Mitchell and I'm proud to officially announce my candidacy for U.S. Congress to represent Texas' 36th District.

🇺🇲 I'm a proud American patriot and Pipeliner in the Oil & Gas industry, and I’m running to bring that same blue-collar work ethic to Washington.👷‍♂️

🏢 Washington has ignored the working class for too long. It is time to put power back in the hands of hardworking Americans, and take our country back—one job, one community, and one generation at a time.

📜 It is time to get back to the fundamental principles of our Constitutional Republic—laws, liberty, and individual rights.

🗳​ I am asking for your support and your vote in the Republican Primary.

👉 Early voting: February 17, 2026-February 27, 2026
👉 Primary Election: March 3, 2026

I’m going to be upfront with everyone, because y’all deserve honesty from the person asking for your vote.

Right now, I work more than 10 hours away from home to provide for my family. I’m not a career politician with unlimited time, or a taxpayer funded salary, I’m a working American doing what many families have to do.

Because of that, I can’t always be physically present in the district. I believe you deserve transparency about that, not excuses, or polished talking points.

With that said, I’m considering hosting live Zoom / town hall style conversations where anyone in the district can join, ask questions, and have a real, open discussion with me.

No scripts. No dodging questions. Just honest conversation.

If this is something you’d be interested in, please comment below, or send me a message. I want this campaign to be accessible, respectful, and built around the people it represents.

The counties I am running to represent with the new district map includes: Angelina, Chambers, Jasper, Hardin, Newton, Tyler, and Jefferson, along with parts of Harris.

With regards to the Venezuela operation, I couldn’t be happier for the Venezuelan people. Nicolas Maduro has spent years crushing the Venezuelan people, stripping them of their liberties, and running one of the most oil rich countries on Earth straight into the ground. The Venezuelan people don’t want him defended, they want him gone.

Meanwhile, parts of the radical left live in a fantasy world, more interested in protecting a dictator than listening to actual Venezuelans. Talk to Venezuelans who fled the regime and you’ll hear the truth, they’re relieved when Maduro loses power, and they want their country, and their liberties, back!

Let’s also stop pretending the oil doesn’t matter. Venezuela holds some of the largest proven oil reserves on the planet. Under a legitimate, non-corrupt government, those resources can be responsibly developed to strengthen U.S. energy security, stabilize global markets, lower energy costs, and reduce dependence on hostile foreign regimes. That means more American jobs, stronger leverage abroad, and less power handed to adversaries.

This isn’t about ideology, it’s about reality.
Liberty for the Venezuelan people.
Energy strength for America.
And an end to the left’s obsession with defending failed dictators.

Reality beats ideology. Every time.

Let’s be honest, this is the hardest job on December 25th. Forget the elves; this is the true unsung hero of the morning chaos! 💯😂

​It’s a thankless duty, but someone has to manage the wrapping paper mountain.
