I bring leadership from military service, entrepreneurship, and work in energy and transportation, plus years helping organizations manage change—grounded by raising three daughters along the way.
As the father of a former public school teacher in Texas I am convinced, the Legislature should fully fund public schools, pay and retain great teachers, reduce class sizes, and ensure resources follow student needs—not ideology. Strong public schools are essential to opportunity, workforce readiness, and healthy communities across Texas. Choice only works if our public schools are strong.
Texas should pursue an all-of-the-above energy strategy that prioritizes reliability and affordability while reducing environmental risk. That means investing in grid resilience, modern transmission, energy efficiency, and a diverse mix of energy sources—guided by data, not special interests. Texas is the energy state, and families should see lower utility costs because of it.
The state should promote public health by reducing the number of uninsured Texans, lowering healthcare costs, and expanding access to care. Nearly one in five Texans lacks coverage, contributing to poor preventable outcomes and workforce challenges. As Texas grows, we must ensure affordable care so families, communities, and our economy can thrive.
Texas should protect voting rights by expanding access while maintaining election integrity. That means clear, consistent rules, adequate polling locations and staffing, secure voting systems, and removing unnecessary barriers so every eligible voter can participate confidently and fairly. And most importantly we should thank our poll workers on election day! Just like our teachers!

Our schools are shutting down and the state refuses to fund public education. We must raise the basic allotment, reform recapture to keep local dollars here, increase teacher pay, and roll back vouchers. Public dollars belong in public schools. Every student deserves better but it starts with the Legislature choosing to invest in our kids.
Texas must modernize the grid, invest in renewables, and protect consumers. That includes building microgrids around nursing homes, schools, and hospitals to keep the lights on in a crisis. Data centers and growing demand strain our outdated system. We need real planning, grid upgrades, and oversight so Texans aren’t left in the dark again.
It takes months to see a doctor in HD 47, and too many go without care. Texas needs more healthcare providers. Expand Medicaid to improve access and affordability. Lower drug prices, protect IVF and reproductive care, and invest in prevention and mental health. Legislation, budget amendments, and creative solutions are all needed to fix this crisis.
We must undo SB1 and restore access to voting. That means bringing back drive-thru and 24-hour voting, allowing online registration, and protecting vote-by-mail. Texas must end gerrymandering and establish an independent redistricting commission. Every eligible voter must be able to make their voice heard in a fair and accessible democracy.
