Stan Gerdes, a Republican elected to the Texas State House in 2023 representing District 17, recently posted several updates on his social media regarding campaign activities, legislative achievements, and endorsements.
On January 11, 2026, Gerdes shared his appreciation for community engagement in his district. He wrote, “District 17 is FIRED UP! We’re blown away by your support and the unprecedented number of sign requests! Stanley Jr and I are working as fast as possible to deliver across all five counties—and we just got another batch fresh off the printer. If you live in Bastrop, Burleson,”.
Two days later, on January 13, 2026, Gerdes highlighted recent accomplishments alongside local young Republicans. He stated, “Honored to join my fellow @BastropYR’s to share our most recent hard-fought victories. In just the last three months, we: Stopped local tax hikes Killed Austin’s plan to pump their water into our aquifer Forced TxDOT to rebuild Loop 230 in under 30 hours Brought in”.
Later that day, Gerdes announced an endorsement from a political action committee focused on life issues. He posted on January 13, “I’m proud to earn the endorsement of @TXAlliance4Life PAC. I’ve stood firm for Texas families, and I won’t back down. Protecting innocent life isn’t a slogan to me; it’s a commitment I’ve kept in the Legislature and will continue to fight for every day. #txlege”.
Gerdes succeeded John Cyrier as state representative after being elected in 2023 to serve Texas’s 17th House district.
