In 2017, while block-walking the streets of Galveston, Texas for a local State House Race, Bryan Rivera and Michael Jenkins became acutely aware of the insufficiency of affordable block-walking teams available to promote candidates and their campaigns. This is when Michael and Bryan created the idea of Texas Hometown.

Communications and Public Relations
Jessie began her passion for conservative political values at a very early age, learning the art of canvassing by age 6, when her father ran for a local county race. Born and raised in Chambers County, Texas, Jessie has always had a big heart for local politics and small businesses, and owns her own photography business. She learned early on how important the art of communication and writing was to every aspect of her working career. With over a decade of experience working in elementary development, and years of working in geriatric medical assistance, Jessie has always emphasized the importance of learning about local government and community interest from childhood through every year of growth. From the time she and her late husband, Michael Jenkins, first met, they both shared a passion for local politics, and even ran block-walking teams together by their second week of dating! Carrying on her husband’s legacy and passion, Jessie’s devotion as a single mother is what drives her perseverance to change the world, one local political race at a time.
Late Director of Political Affairs
Michael graduated from Austin Peay State University with a bachelor’s in political science, and lived in Texas since 2014. He worked with various government agencies and media markets for numerous years before transitioning into working in the Texas House of Representatives. During his tenure working for Representative Mayes Middleton, he assisted the Representative on numerous topics of legislation in the capitol, then continued on as Middleton’s local district director in State House District 23. He juggled working with numerous local governments while helping constituents during the height of Covid-19. Michael recently served as the Legislative Affairs and Media Relations Manager at Cenikor, based in Houston, Texas. Michael’s political career was cut tragically short when he passed away in a car accident just before Father’s Day, 2022. His legacy is carried on by his wife Jessie and their son Pearce.
