I am a common sense conservative that is running to put a stop to the liberal left agenda. I am a retired combat veteran, current Covid nurse, former businessman, father, and a husband.
  • We must put an end to illegal immigration. They are overwhelming our healthcare system, our schools, and our social services. They don’ t pay federal taxes since most work for cash under the table. They pull money from the US and Texas economy by sending money to their families in the foreign countries where they came from.
  • We must get tough on crime and replace the District Attorneys that do not prosecute criminals. We must defund sanctuary cities that defund the police.
  • Our children’s education must be a priority. We must get the CRT agenda out of education. School board members that fail to listen to the will of the parents must also be replaced.
Illegal immigration because of the overwhelming effect it has on our healthcare system, education, and social services. If we could just put an end to illegal immigration, we could save millions in tax payer dollars that we are wasting on educating illegal immigrants and on the free healthcare they receive.
Our children are being indoctrinated in public schools. When Trump was President, my kids would call me a racist for supporting him. In my opinion, they were getting their views from school. Fortunately they have matured since then and realize what I had been telling them the entire time was true. They too see the liberal left agenda now.
Integrity. An elected official must have the best interests of their constituents in mind regardless of their own personal interests.
Integrity, Honor, Passion, Dedication, Loyalty,
I would like to be remembered for saving tax payers millions in tax dollars through illegal immigration reform.
If I could be anybody, I would be Ironman. I’ve always wanted to fly and I love fast cars. I would fight for truth and justice.
I have struggled getting my oldest son to graduate high school. He is a smart and loving son, but he is so defiant. It is an ongoing struggle I deal with everyday.
The governor is there to set an agenda and the legislature is there to support it and produce legislation. The legislature is also there to push the governor to make sure he is working for the people.
Illegal immigration is going to bankrupt our state and country. We must cut funding to programs rewarding illegal immigrants for being here. We must pass laws that reserve state services for American citizens.
I do believe experience is a benefit, but is not a requirement. Some politicians take things for granted and have become part of the swamp.
I believe in having a good working relationship with the other side, but it can be difficult when the holler racism when they don’t get their way. That automatically throws a monkey wrench into any kind of negotiations.
Party in charge gets to pick. As has been said, elections have consequences.
Immigration. Healthcare. Business. Education.
Donald J Trump.
I would like to run for the US Congress in the future.
The legislature should be able to grant as well as revoke emergency powers.
Compromise is necessary, but you must have strong values and backbone and say no to certain issues. Wrong is wrong, and can not be justified when it comes to compromise.
