​I was born in Jonesboro, Georgia, raised in Des Moines, Iowa, and currently reside in Austin, Texas. I wasn't born Texan but I reckon I'll die one. My parents moved to Poolville, Texas ten years ago. In these years, I frequented their ranch and small town Texas and became enamored.

​I was born with the two greatest privileges: being born in a God-fearing two-parent household and being born an American. To restore our Nation's glory, we must restore the family unit, pride for our Nation, and belief in God.

​My ancestors didn't build this great Nation, but when I was born an American, I inherited the rich tradition and history of the United States of America and Western Civilization. I'm honored to dedicate my life to preserving and restoring it - and I pray that our posterity will look back with pride of our valor and endeavor.
  • ​The invasion at the southern border is more than an illegal immigration issue, it is an existential crisis. This Nation will not survive if it doesn't respect its own sovereignty. Under the current administration, millions of illegal aliens have entered and it is encouraged. But this has been an issue for fifty years now. Every administration that has failed to build a wall at the southern border is responsible for the invasion we are witnessing now. This doesn't have to be an issue that we continue to deal with. BUILD THE WALL ONCE AND FOR ALL.
  • ​The experts and legacy media were wrong about the origins, wrong about the predictive modeling, wrong about the lockdowns, wrong about the efficacy of masks and vaccines - and yet, they still ask us to trust them. It was only 15 days. It was only a mask. It was only a vaccine. It was only a booster. It was only your liberty. They decided that worshiping the living God was non-essential.  They decided your livelihood was non-essential. They decided which information was allowed. These mandates could have been ended yesterday if our leaders possessed a political will to actual conserve our liberty. END THE MANDATES ONCE AND FOR ALL.
  • ​We need justice reform in this country, but it doesn't entail releasing violent criminals into free society. It doesn't entail being more lenient to criminals.  Sixteen US cities broke homicide records in 2021, including the capitol of Texas.  Since 2019, over 150 Houston residents were murdered due to bail reform. Mercy to the guilty is cruelty to the innocent. END BAIL REFORM. HARSHER SENTENCING FOR VIOLENT CRIMINALS. FUND THE POLICE.
Securing border. Immigration moratorium. Ending mask and vaccine mandates. Abolishing property taxes.

Campaign website

Ledezma's campaign website stated the following:

“

BORDER CRISIS

The invasion at the southern border is more than an illegal immigration issue, it is an existential crisis. This Nation will not survive if it doesn't respect its own sovereignty. Under the current administration, millions of illegal aliens have entered and it is encouraged. But this has been an issue for fifty years now. Every administration that has failed to build a wall at the southern border is responsible for the invasion we are witnessing now. This doesn't have to be an issue that we continue to deal with. BUILD THE WALL ONCE AND FOR ALL.

VACCINE MANDATES

The experts and legacy media were wrong about the origins, wrong about the predictive modeling, wrong about the lockdowns, wrong about the efficacy of masks and vaccines - and yet, they still ask us to trust them. It was only 15 days. It was only a mask. It's only a vaccine. It's only a vaccine passport. It's only a booster shot. It's only your basic liberty. They decided that worshiping the living God was non-essential. They decided your livelihood was non-essential. They decided which information was allowed. These mandates could have been ended yesterday if our leaders possessed a political will to actually conserve our liberty. END THE MANDATES ONCE AND FOR ALL.

CRIME

We need justice reform in this country, but it doesn't entail releasing violent criminals into free society. It doesn't entail being more lenient to criminals. Sixteen US cities broke homicide records in 2021, including the capital of Texas. Since 2019, over 150 Houston residents were murdered due to bail reform. Mercy to the guilty is cruelty to the innocent. END BAIL FOR VIOLENT CRIMINALS. HARSHER SENTENCING FOR VIOLENT CRIMINALS. FUND THE POLICE.

PROPERTY TAXES

We have the right to own property. If you are paying taxes to the government for your home, you do not truly own your home. Americans should never be priced out of their own homes and it is a disgrace that we have ever allowed this. Although property taxes are imposed on a local level, this issue merits federal action to defend our liberty to own property. ABOLISH PROPERTY TAXES.[3]
