I have strong leadership, integrity, and accountability, ensuring I represent my constituents faithfully. Effective communication and collaboration skills, I am able to work across party lines when needed while staying true to my conservative principles. Being a parent of 3 grown children, I have a deep understanding of suburban families’ concerns, with a focus on parents’ rights, education, and public safety and the resilience, empathy, and the determination, qualities essential for navigating the challenges of Congress.
Ending drug and human trafficking in Houston by seeking out violent criminals and getting them off Houston streets. Getting the unemployed back to work and being productive members of society.

I bring both public and private sector experience. I've seen broken processes inside the beltway and in global companies, and I've worked to fix both. For years in Houston, I've served as a consultant resolving distressed situations for major companies. We move fast to assess problems and put out fires. We think practically, not theoretically. This pragmatic skill set translates directly to Congress—our country needs someone who can mend divisions and solve real problems. Lastly, I grew up here. I love Houston and poignantly feel the pain of illegal entry, frequent crime, and mediocre public education. My Christian faith, strong work ethic, and collaborative nature enable me to work with anyone to make a meaningful difference in TX-07.
Curbing Crime: Houston has one of the highest crime rates in America. I'll fight to secure the federal resources needed to catch criminals, solve crimes, and empower local law enforcement to do their jobs effectively. Our state / local authorities need support, and not obstacles. Reducing Govt Spending: Well-intentioned, federally funded programs are too easily exploited for fraudulent purposes. I've spent years in my current role auditing and examining distressed organizations and exposing inefficiencies. I'll bring that same rigor to Congress—establishing stronger oversight and auditing processes to root out waste and fraud before taxpayer dollars disappear. Every dollar lost to fraud is a dollar stolen from hardworking Texans.
