It markets itself as “America’s only Christian conservative wireless provider” and pledges to donate a portion of users’ monthly bills to conservative causes; its founders initially said the beneficiaries would be groups and politicians who opposed abortion, defended religious freedom, protected gun rights and supported the military.

The company said its subscriber base doubled in 2021 and that it planned to give more than $1.5 million to conservative causes in 2022, about triple the previous year’s amount.

The committee’s funding was reported on several bases: according to filings with the Texas Ethics Commission, company executives funded it that year with about $650,000 in cash and in-kind contributions; according to campaign finance reports filed in April, the company had put $500,000 into it, and the committee had spent about $390,000 in four districts, Carroll, Grapevine-Colleyville, Keller and Mansfield; another tally put the company’s contribution at more than $600,000.

In the Tarrant County school board elections on May 7, 2022, 10 of the 11 candidates backed by Patriot Mobile Action won outright, across four districts: Grapevine-Colleyville, Keller, Mansfield and Carroll.

The committee’s campaign centered on opposition to “critical race theory” and “woke” ideologies; winning candidate Andrew Yeager said the committee’s help was useful but that he already had a base of supporters from an earlier special election.⁠[6][6][6][7][3][5]

On August 6, 2022, in an interview with Steve Bannon on the floor of the Conservative Political Action Conference (CPAC) in Dallas, Glenn Story said the company had supported 11 candidates in the previous election cycle, won every seat and “took over four school boards.” That month, the Grapevine-Colleyville school board voted 4–3 to adopt a sweeping policy revision on race, gender and sexuality; Tammy Nakamura, a trustee backed by Patriot Mobile, said the vote fulfilled her campaign promise, while a staff attorney with the American Civil Liberties Union of Texas said the policy went well beyond the requirements of state law. Some parents protested at the meeting in T-shirts that replaced the district’s name with “Patriot Mobile Action ISD.” The company did not respond to NBCNBCNBC (National Broadcasting Company) is an American national commercial broadcast television network.
