Western Peanut Growers Association Endorses Tom Sell for TX-19
SEMINOLE, TX. - The Western Peanut Growers Association, Inc. based in Seminole, TX, has announced its strong support and endorsement for Tom Sell to serve the Texas 19th Congressional District as its next Representative.

For more than two decades, WPGA has worked closely with Tom Sell to advance its core mission: enhancing the economic viability of West Texas peanut producers. Throughout that time, Sell has been a consistent and effective advocate for West Texas peanut growers, and for farm and ranch families across the entire region and state.

Sell’s extensive knowledge with the issues facing our industry has made an indelible impact on West Texas peanut growers, and on producers across the entire state of Texas. WPGA is proud to support him in this campaign for Congress.

“I’ve known Tom for the better part of 30 years, and I know that his character, heart, and conviction are rooted in his strong West Texas values. Not only will he take these values to Washington he will use them while he is there. I am proud to call Tom a good friend, and I know that our nation will be strengthened by Tom Sell being in office representing the 19th District of Texas,” said Robbie Blount, Executive Director of WPGA.

Otis Johnson, WPGA President added, "Tom has successfully fought hard in so many fights for us. We know he will take that same fighting spirit to Congress and use it for all of our industries across West Texas.”

Former TX-19 Congressman and Chairman of the House Intelligence Committee and Committee on Agriculture, the Honorable Larry Combest, endorses Tom Sell to serve TX-19

The Honorable Larry Combest, who previously served West Texas as its Congressman for nearly 2 decades and with distinction as the Chairman of the House Intelligence Committee and the House Committee on Agriculture, today endorsed Tom Sell to serve TX-19 in the U.S. House of Representatives.

“Throughout our 3 decade friendship, I’ve known Tom as a man who loves three things: his Lord, his family, and his country. He also has deep knowledge of the issues that are important to the 19th, and the grit and know-how to get things done in DC. I can think of no better person to represent Texas’s 19th Congressional District,” said Combest. “Tom is a principled conservative who cares deeply about the country we will leave behind for our children, and our children’s children. He will serve TX-19 with the same determination and passion he’s applied in every area of his life.”
