Where I Stand on the Issues

A Proven Conservative Ready to Fight for Texas, Not Talk About It.

Every Life is Precious

Every life has value — from the unborn child to our senior citizens, from our brave first responders to the neighbor rebuilding after disaster. I believe life is sacred and worth protecting at every stage. That means:

Standing firmly for the unborn and defending the sanctity of life.
Supporting strong public safety policies that hold criminals accountable and keep our communities safe.
Ensuring FEMA and emergency response programs deliver fast, effective relief when Texas families face floods, wildfires, or storms.
Using the strength of our military responsibly and always with the goal of protecting innocent life at home and abroad.

When we say “Every Life is Precious,” it’s not just a slogan — it’s a guiding principle for how I will vote, lead, and serve.

Respect the Military

Freedom isn’t free — it’s secured by the courage and sacrifice of the men and women who wear the uniform. I will always:

Defend the promises made to our service members, veterans, and their families.
Protect military retirement benefits and ensure access to top-quality healthcare.
Prioritize military readiness and funding to keep our nation safe.
Encourage our communities to show daily appreciation for those who defend us.

Our military deserves more than words — they deserve action, respect, and unwavering gratitude.

Families First

Strong families build strong communities — and strong communities build a stronger Texas. I believe every child deserves opportunity, and no family should be left behind. My priorities include:

Expanding access to quality education and parental choice in schooling.
Supporting programs that lift Texas families out of poverty and empower parents to provide for their children.
Ensuring working parents have access to affordable childcare and fair wages without over-taxing small businesses.
Backing community organizations and faith-based groups that support children, the elderly, and struggling families.

Putting Families First means defending the values that make Texas great: faith, hard work, and neighborly love.

Make Texas the Best

Texas should lead the nation — not follow it. We can and must be first in education, job growth, and public safety. As your representative, I’ll work to:

Make Texas #1 in education by empowering parents, rewarding teachers, and ensuring classroom excellence.
Reduce crime by supporting law enforcement and cracking down on repeat offenders.
Tackle homelessness with accountability, compassion, and real solutions — not endless handouts.
Strengthen our economy with policies that create jobs, attract business, and keep Texas the best place to live, work, and raise a family.

We’re not just the Lone Star State — we’re the Leadership State, and I’ll fight to keep it that way.

Protect the 2nd Amendment

The right to keep and bear arms is not negotiable. It’s fundamental to freedom, self-defense, and the Texas way of life. I will:

Oppose any attempt by Washington to infringe on our constitutional rights.
Stand with responsible gun owners, sportsmen, and law-abiding citizens.
Support firearm education and safety initiatives rooted in personal responsibility, not government control.

Texans don’t need permission to protect their families — the Constitution already grants that right.

Protect Our Borders

A nation without borders is not a nation. Texas is on the front line of a national crisis, and we must act with strength and resolve. I will fight to:

Finish securing the border with technology, manpower, and infrastructure.
Support our Border Patrol and local law enforcement who put their lives on the line.
Stop the flow of fentanyl, human trafficking, and illegal crossings that endanger our communities.
Hold Washington accountable for failing to enforce existing immigration laws.

Protecting our borders is about more than politics — it’s about protecting our families, our jobs, and our way of life.

Support LEGAL Immigration

America was built by immigrants who came here legally, worked hard, and contributed to their communities. We should continue to welcome those who respect our laws and share our values. I believe in:

A fair and efficient immigration process that rewards those who follow the rules.
Strong border enforcement paired with legal pathways for those who seek to contribute to America’s success.
Prioritizing the safety and prosperity of American citizens first.

We can be a nation that values compassion and the rule of law — both are part of what makes America exceptional.
