\nVance Snider, a member of Local 1313 in Amarillo, Texas, is running in the Republican primary for the U.S. House of Representatives in Texas’ 13th District.<\/figcaption><\/figure>
\nSnider, 30, served in Afghanistan after enlisting in the Army in December 2007 after his high school graduation. After completing his service, he hired on to the Texas Northwestern Railway in 2013 and later moved on to become a conductor for BNSF.
\nHe\u2019s been a TD member since April 2015 and is running as a first-time candidate as a Republican to represent the 13th District, which is home to hundreds of SMART-TD members and retirees and their families. He will need their support to win in the crowded 15-candidate primary that takes place March 3, and he plans to fight for our members and the people in the district if elected.
\nIt\u2019s a challenge to be sure. The 13th is a vast district that has more ground to cover than 13 U.S. states and one of the most Republican. The winner of the Republican primary is practically a shoo-in to win in November and move on to D.C. \u2014 Thornberry won his last re-election bid with 81 percent of the vote.
\nAnd Snider is doing his best to break the typical red-blue stereotype. He\u2019s a registered Republican because his values align most with the pro-life and pro-Second Amendment stance of the party. But when out talking to prospective voters, he said that sometimes people who identify as Republican get hung up on the fact that he\u2019s a proud union member.
\n\u201cRepublicans are typically associated with big business,\u201d Snider said. \u201cThey forget about the little people who made them the millions of dollars.\u201d
\nSo he\u2019s trying to change that by infusing some youth into the party and to break some of the typical set-in-stone party preconceptions by running for the House.
\nThe 2018 election and the hyperpartisanship in D.C. is what inspired him to run \u2013 he\u2019s tired of seeing people staying in Congress for decades but then ignoring important issues such as railroad safety.
\n\u201cI want to go forth and create a revolution \u2013 bring regular people to the House and Senate. Get rid of the incumbents,\u201d Snider said. \u201cIt\u2019s about taking action and doing something about it.
\n\u201cI got tired of the political BS going between the two parties. That\u2019s what really annoyed me.\u201d
\nSince officially becoming a candidate on the ballot in early October and even before then, Snider has been campaigning on his own terms. He\u2019s found that some of the 14 other Republicans competing for the chance to appear on the November 2020 ballot have been following his lead.
\n\u201cI\u2019m actually out there hitting the pavement \u2013 I was one of the first ones to put the name on the ballot and put out yard signs,\u201d he said. \u201cThey\u2019re all copying my campaign. I\u2019ve been hand-delivering yard signs \u2013 the campaign seems to be going really well. I ain\u2019t scared to get up at 6 in the morning and drive across the country, so putting a few miles on my truck doesn\u2019t bother me.\u201d

Vance Snider, a member of Local 1313 out of Amarillo, Texas, places a yard sign while campaigning for Congress.<\/figcaption><\/figure>He doesn\u2019t usually put on a suit and tie on his visits \u2014 he just goes out as he normally dresses from his Texas upbringing, cowboy hat on his head, and a message that he is going to represent people from all over the district, not just the people in its two major cities of Amarillo and Wichita. It means a lot of mileage on his Ford F-250 (he estimates he’s put 8,000 miles on it criss-crossing the district) and dirtier boots, but it shows his commitment to his beliefs.
\n\u201cPoliticians need to start working for the people,\u201d he said. \u201cThey need to elect a like-minded individual who thinks about the people in the district first, then the rest of the country. I want to start a revolution \u2013 show I\u2019m a normal Joe Blow guy like you \u2014 and can get out and do something.\u201d
\nAfter Thornberry, who\u2019s held the seat in the 13th District for 25 years, announced his retirement, Snider fully committed the run and he\u2019s had 100% support from his wife, Christy, and the rest of his family.
\nHis platform includes a commitment to being pro-life and defending Second Amendment rights. He also counts rail safety as an issue in his campaign, which sets him apart from others in his party and has led to the backing of his campaign by SMART TD PAC and others associated with rail labor.
\nThe number of co-sponsors show that current incumbent Republicans have been slow to come around in supporting the two-person freight crew legislation (H.R. 1748 in the House and S. 1979 in the Senate). Thornberry has not signed on to the Safe Freight Act, and so far only 10 GOP reps have signed on as co-sponsors compared with 124 Democrats.
\nBut Snider sees hope that rail safety and having two on the crew will eventually be recognized as a non-partisan issue that goes beyond red or blue.
\n\u201cWe need to get Republicans aboard,\u201d he said. \u201cI\u2019ve had national support from all over the country \u2013 I\u2019ve got donations from Democrats and Republicans. It\u2019s about being working class, a working person \u2013 making sure we\u2019re all taken care of.\u201d
\n\u201cWe need to give the honest truth \u2013 make the public aware of it. A lot of them think we still have five people on the train,\u201d he said.
\nThe public also does not recognize that there are safety and environmental factors to railroad accidents that would be worsened by going from two to one person in the cab, he said, pointing out that a Jan. 1 derailment into the Kootenai River in Idaho could have easily resulted in a fatality had there not been two people aboard to assist one another to survive in their BNSF locomotive that was partially submerged during the accident.
\n\u201cIt\u2019s about informing the public. It\u2019s about safety. And public awareness \u2014 that\u2019s what it comes down to,\u201d he said.
\nMoreover, the work schedule of a railroader does not help matters when it comes to rail safety, and having two aboard is an important check, even with Positive Train Control.
\n\u201cWhenever you\u2019re working an extra board, you\u2019re fatigued,\u201d he said. \u201cThere\u2019s been issues where a signal drops from clear to red\u2014there\u2019s more going on out there than people think. When you have those instances when you have to have someone out there, two sets of eyes are better than one.
\n\u201cThere have been times when guys have missed a signal, and you have to speak up.\u201d
\nThere are a number of ways rail workers and union members can speak up \u2013 one of them is by running for public office, as Snider is.
\n\u201cIt took me two weeks to get through the red tape. If I can do it, you can do it too,\u201d he said. \u201cOnce you get through the red tape, find a good campaign consultant and an election lawyer who can tell you what can and can\u2019t be done \u2013 those are the two key things. Then put your nose to the grindstone and start campaigning.\u201d
\nA second way that isn\u2019t as time intensive, but helps just the same is by donating to the TD PAC.
\n\u201cI would encourage people to donate to PAC. You really can help by donating to the PAC fund, no matter what the level,\u201d he said. \u201cIt really helps out and allows candidates like me to go forward. It is bipartisan and goes to both Republicans and Democrats. This money doesn\u2019t come from union dues.\u201d
