I'm a businessman and conservative activist who was appointed by Governor Greg Abbott as Chair of the Sulphur River Basin Authority. I've been endorsed by Governor Abbott and Commissioner Sid Miller.
If we have no border, we have no country! Our nation is being invaded! If the current administration refuses to secure our border, Texas must. That means completing the Texas border wall, arresting, detaining, and returning all illegal aliens attempting to enter Texas, and using the full resources of the Texas Department of Public Safety and National Guard to repel those entering Texas illegally.
I'll fight to empower parents to make the best educational choices for their kids, to put a stop to woke, leftist indoctrination in our schools, to allow teachers to restore discipline to our classrooms, increase teacher pay, and allow them to focus on what they do best, teach! A one-size-fits-all approach doesn't work. I will empower local school districts to do what's best for their schools.
As a Christian, I believe in the sanctity of all innocent human life, am staunchly pro-life, and opposed to abortion. As State Representative, I'll fight to defend and maintain our state's current restrictions on abortion which are some of the strongest in the nation. I will fully support increased funding for crisis pregnancy centers and support adoption alternatives so all children are wanted.
The climate change hoax has resulted in leftist policies that harm Texas businesses, cost jobs, and increase prices on virtually all consumables. We love Texas and want to preserve it for future generations. That doesn't mean taking actions encouraged by woke, leftist climate warriors which hurt the Texas economy, kill jobs, and harms Texas' robust oil and gas industry which is number 1 in the US.
The people of Texas demand fair, secure, and fully transparent elections where only lawful, United States citizens and Texas residents are allowed to vote. As State Representative, I will fight to ensure that it is a crime for an illegal alien to vote in our state or federal elections, to strengthen our voter ID laws, restore paper ballots, and increase the penalties for engaging in voter fraud.
