About Dale Huls

Dale Huls is a conservative advocate and political figure with a long history of involvement in the Republican Party and grassroots movements in Texas. Born in Jacksonville, Florida, he served in the U.S. Air Force from 1977 to 1981 and later worked as an engineer, including a 20-year career at NASA’s Johnson Space Center before retiring.

He has been recognized with awards like the 2015 Champion of Freedom and a 2016 Conservative Leader Award. Although Dale Huls was unsuccessful in his challenge against incumbent Gary VanDeaver for Texas House District 1 in the 2024 Republican primary, he nevertheless advanced to Austin as the Legislative Director for State Representative Brent Money in House District 2 during the 89th Texas Legislature. Dale currently is a member of the Bowie County Patriots and is the co-host of the weekly "Less Austin More Texas" Radio Show (Spotify.com).
