About

Your Precinct 58 Chair

My husband and I have been proud residents of The Woodlands for 23+ years. We have raised four incredible young men, and through the years, I have remained a devoted presence in their lives, actively engaging in their interests and volunteering in various capacities, including sports, music, faith formation, and church activities.

I am blessed in marriage (going on 25 years) to my husband Craig Rickard, who I met while we were both studying at the University of Houston. He ran for our local Woodlands Township Board of Directors in 2022 and while that didn't turn out, another opportunity opened up and he now sits on our MUD 47 Board.

Our oldest son is in the US Navy stationed in Bangor, Washington and serves our country as a Navy Nuke. We hope to welcome him home permanently in 2026 when his service time will be completed. Our second is a college student at the University of Houston, Main Campus in the Bauer School of Business. He was recently married to an amazing young lady from Guadalajara, Mexico who has been such a welcomed addition to our family! We look forward to their upcoming sacramental marriage in the Catholic Church this coming year. The third son is a student at Lone Star who is completing his basics before transferring over to UH to join his second brother on the main campus. Our last son is a Senior in High School who has been enjoying his final year in the automotive program offered through Lone Star in Conroe. While these four young men have chosen very different paths, we are proud of all and enjoy every moment spent together. I can easily say that these four young men (plus our new daughter-in-law) keep us busy and are some of my greatest blessings.

Political Involvement.

If you don't normally vote in the Republican Primary, I encourage you to jump in this time around. There are many issues at hand and one of the biggest at the moment is the growing concern over weak Republicans. I don't like to use the word RINOs or to mislabel them as Democrats because they'll tell you they'd never vote that way. However, having said that, there have been some questionable actions that will come to light in the coming months showing without a doubt that many of these weak republicans are siding with candidates of opposing values - donations tend to sway the vote a bit. Appointments, voting records, alignments, actions - all serve as serious indicators for either the removal from office or whether we want to keep them as our elected officials.

I have spent the past two years of my term as your Precinct 58 Chair attending monthly CEC meetings. While we are technically only required to attend once a quarter, I strongly believe that by meeting monthly we can keep a good pulse on what is happening in the political arena and prepare better for upcoming battles with candidates of opposing views and beliefs.

I am currently serving as the Marketing Chair for the Republican party and have helped raise voter awareness on issues within Montgomery County, TX through multiples facets: Communications, Fundraising, Candidate Committee Research, Get Out the Vote events, and more. I have served as an Election Judge and Alternate Judge for at least one of the elections in the past two years and as an Election Clerk multiple times now. When election season comes around you can typically find me in the parking lot during Early Voting passing out information on vetted candidates.

One of the promises I made as a Precinct Chair was to raise voter awareness. When I ran for office back in 2023, I made it my mission to get to know my neighbors and for them to know me so that when election season did come around that they would know they had a trusted source to turn to reliably who provide information on ALL CANDIDATES. Not hearsay. Not feelings. Not personal opinions, but cited facts. By sticking to this practice, I hope to encourage better informed voters so that eventually Montgomery County will have the best candidates and elected officials serving in office.

When President Trump was up for re-election in 2024, I did everything possible to get the word out from social media, meet and greets, websites, - I even took to my bike and went door to door handing out voter recommendations made by the Montgomery County Republican Party of Texas. I created my own voter guide with all candidates listed, listed all recommendations and endorsements and even gave voters a one-stop website so that they could find out information on ALL candidates by listing their own websites and social media. I printed these out with my own money and by the donations from neighbors, family, and friends who supported this cause - informing the voters! I hopped on my bike and rode to every neighborhood in Precinct 58 and drop off these voter guides to Republican households and yard signs when requested. My bike came to be recognized not just in our precinct but in Montgomery County and soon became a reminder for neighbors that election season was upon us and that it was time to learn what was on the ballot. This gave me a great sense of joy - my goal has always been to raise voter awareness and to get the vote out - seeing neighbors exercising their civic duty by voting, whether they used my voter guide or not.

Qualifications I have accrued over time that make me a strong Republican Precinct Chair:

  • Strong Conservative Republican

  • Christian - Practicing Catholic

  • Pro-Life & Traditional Family Values

  • Support 2nd Amendment Rights

  • Secure Borders

  • Energy Independence

  • America First - taking care of our Veterans!

  • Fight for Election Integrity

  • Fight for Religious & Medical Freedom

  • Parental Control of Education & Support Parental Rights

  • Small Government

  • Reduction of Taxes

  • Website Building - Go Daddy/Wix

  • Marketing & Communications 

  • Video Creation - YouTube, Vimeo

  • Social Media Content Creator

  • Bilingual (English/Spanish)

 

I'm sure there's more and would be happy to speak on some of these issues if you'd like to meet with me - Coffee, Tea, pastries? It doesn't have to be formal. 

Since 2022 I have helped multiple candidates with their campaigns - My husband was my first client as I helped him inform voters about the Township Board of Directors race and the for his MUD 47 run in 2023. I helped Ann Perry (another Township candidate) with her campaign to keep the Township from building a bathroom in her neighborhood park that was not wanted by the neighborhood residents. While the residents succeeded in defeating this effort, they saw the urgency in placing another more resident-focused candidate on the Township BOD. I had the distinct pleasure of helping Dr. Shelley Sekula-Gibbs who was also running for re-election to the Township BOD. Dr. Shelley's video exposing her opponent's multiple donations to Democrat Beto O'Rourke & Kristin Johnson had over 10,000 views and I grew encouraged that getting the word out was possible even at our local level!

Fast forward to 2025, while many still want to focus on the division in our Republican party on the local level , I am trying my hardest to make a difference by exposing lies, bringing truth to light, and providing facts about candidates that are running for office. Some of these candidates are working hard to show what they've done during their term in office and what they've supported while hoping voters will not be reminded of their voting records and donations. I've learned a lot in two years and while I hate to get in between faction fights, I will hold to the truth by telling THE WHOLE TRUTH, and not distorted half truths. The fight is coming within our party for the primary election but I am definitely of the belief that this is the time to do so. We need the BEST candidate for the job and not someone who is willing to sell their vote to the highest bidder all in the name of "working across the aisle" or to show they can be a team player. Game on! I will work my hardest to fight for the voter. To fight so that your voice may be heard. My goal has always been to encourage being an informed voter.

"Be informed, then vote."

This is a logo I used on my campaign and will continue to do so moving forward so that people will remember the importance of doing their own research. You won't make many friends this way but you will make the RIGHT kind of friends who share the same values and strength in conviction.

TRUTH (1).png

What does this mean? There will be serious fighting within the party as we attempt to find the best candidate for the General Elections. Look for the truth. Don't look for the fast talkers. We need humble men and women of strength and integrity. Those willing to take a stand at the expense of losing support. We will unite again when we have the best candidate for the General Elections because at that point it is no longer a strong or weak Republican issue. Now we are fighting against an ideology that threatens our core beliefs: God, family, and making our Country strong again!

 

Why vote for me?

Proven Consistency. Through time, effort, and energetic ideas I have adhered to one goal: to inform voters. By doing this, and providing the tools necessary, voters have come out to the polls again. We need to keep our county strong and make our state stronger from the bottom up.

 

We need to continue this work and I promise to continue with the passion, time, and energy to make a difference.

I'm Elizabeth Rickard, Republican Precinct 58 Chair for Montgomery County, TX, and I  appreciate your vote so that I may continue raising awareness, providing unbiased candidate information, and helping people find out more about what's on the upcoming ballot. I have thoroughly enjoyed representing Precinct 58 and hope that you will allow me to continue doing so for 2 more years.

Thank you.

 

God bless you, God bless Texas, and God bless our great United States of America!

My Family

Family isn't just your blood relations, I am blessed to have some amazing friends and neighbors who supported me throughout this campaign with prayers, donations, and some even coming out and being my "boots-on-the-ground" volunteers. I wouldn't be here without them!

Fun Times!

WHAT'S HAPPENING NOW?

As your newly elected Precinct 58 Chair I am getting involved wherever I can without stretching myself too thin so as to not compromise the efficacy of my endeavours.

I was elected the Marketing Committee Chair for our Montgomery County Republican Party shortly after being elected as a precinct chair, which entails GOP branding and any items that we want our party to proudly wear and promote.

I joined the Communications Committee to help with Marketing and Social Media. I do graphics creation to help with fundraising, getting out the vote, and other needs.

During the last 2024 vetting of candidates it was noted that there weren't any women on our Candidate Committee, which is the group in charge of vetting candidates running for our party, and doing research and background checks on them as well. I quickly joined the group and am happy to report that two others joined as well. It is a strong group of precinct chairs with very effective means of digging up the truth on possible candidates. I am proud to be part of this committee alongside the aforementioned committees. We've got very important jobs and I look forward to contributing my time and talents to the next elections!
