Kuempel is a member of the Republican Party.[3]

The Republican party of Guadalupe County, Texas, (Kuempel's home county in Texas) voted to censure Kuempel for his failure to represent the values of his constituents. Specifically, his vote in favor of the Paxton impeachment, his support of appointing Democrat Chairmanships to critical committees, and for his vote to kill funding for school choice.[4]

However, his decision to stand for his principles on voting in favor of Paxton's impeachment were applauded by the Libertarian Party of Guadalupe County. [5]
