Texans want it simple - secure the border, election integrity, medical freedoms, end abortion, low taxes, limited government, jobs, protect 2A rights, school choice, and the ability to raise their family in safe communities. Government overreach has reached an all time high as Texans have become frustrated with politicians more worried about their own bank account and scoring political points rather than providing constituents with opportunities. I want to head to Austin to stand up for conservatives and defend the America/Texas first agenda against the Career Politicians.
Jesus, I would love to follow in his footsteps and perform miracles and wonders, walk in his perfection, and love unconditionally.
The Bible and The Doctrine of the Lesser Magistrates: A Proper Resistance to Tyranny and a Repudiation of Unlimited Obedience to Civil Government.
The ability to build coalitions, delegate, and lead with integrity and moral ethics.
The core responsibilities are to take care of the constituents and the state of Texas and pass straight forward constitutional laws and actually enforce the laws that are on the books.
I would like to be known for championing true and pure election integrity bills, securing our borders, and ending abortion.
My first job was working in a public setting in a department store for Christmas to help my parents when I was 15 or 16 years old.
The Bible, because its the living WORD of God that gets us through everyday of our life. I also love "The Help" because it highlights women overcoming the challenges of life and shows the boldness and braveness it took to stand up and stand out for what was right even if it was not popular or welcomed. History Makers!
Lize Hadassah Wild "Its All About You" "Born for such a Time"
The balancing of being a mother, homeschooling, and still being able to fight for this country through my activism.
The ideal relationship would be to actually govern righteously. Ideal for constituents would be to have legislatures that actually go to Austin and do what they promise to do while on the campaign trail.
One of the greatest challenges in Texas is Securing the Border, dealing with the illegal immigration invasion coupled with the drug and cartel terrorists who are terrorizing our state and country. The greater challenge of all is to take away the power from the politicians and return it back to the people.
There are no benefits from a unicameral legislature, this type of structure creates a tyrannical government with no checks and balances.
No, our founding fathers had no experience in government or politics and yet wrote the most precious document ever written: the U.S. Constitution.
Yes it is good to have good working relations with colleagues, but not if they compromise or try to corrupt your work ethic and stature.
Veteran Affairs and Border Security

Senate Higher Education Committee
Health and Human Services
Nominations Committee

Local Government
The most impactful stories are from those who have lost their livelihood from hurricanes, failed electric grid, and medical tyrannical mandates.
Why did the potato run across the road?
So it would not get mashed!
Our country is in turmoil due to politicians that compromise our values and principles. We are literally experiencing the communist agenda be implemented because of the career politicians that continue to compromise. I will not compromise my values or principles.
