Cain's campaign website stated the following:
Briscoe Cain on the Issues
Border Security
President Trump has restored law and order to our border, virtually shutting down the disastrous illegal immigration and trafficking crisis encouraged under Joe Biden.In the Texas House, I proudly stood with President Trump by joint-authoring legislation that dedicated $1.5 billion to build the border wall right here in Texas. I also helped allocate $5.1 billion to secure the border, co-authored a law creating a state-level offense for illegal entry into Texas, and I fought to classify Mexican drug cartels as foreign terrorist organizations.
Now, I’m ready to take that same fight to Washington. In Congress, I will support President Trump by voting to fund ICE fully, expand border security and deportation operations, and finish building the wall.
Jobs & Economy
As a State Representative, I have been a strong supporter of Texas’s oil and gas industry, recognizing it as the backbone of ours for families across our region. In the Legislature, I’ve fought against policies that favored wind and solar at the expense of traditional energy sources, making it clear that “oil and gas is king in Texas” and ensuring that veterans and workers could continue to find opportunities in the industry that built this state. I co-authored legislation regulating natural gas systems, supported grid and energy market rules that protect fossil fuel producers, and consistently stood against federal-style overregulation that threatens Texas’ energy independence. I have also fought for investments in the Port of Houston, a key hub for our state’s energy economy and a gateway for American oil and gas to reach global markets. My record demonstrates that I understand the vital importance of the oil and gas sector not only to Texas but to America’s strength, and I will carry that same fight to Washington to ensure our nation continues to produce, refine, and export the energy that powers our state’s economy and a source of good-paying job future.
2nd Amendment
I’m a staunch defender of the Second Amendment and committed to upholding the U.S. Constitution. As your State Representative, I’ve voted to protect your right to carry—supporting legislation that allows firearms in places of worship, reduces License to Carry fees, and advances Constitutional Carry in Texas. I also authored and filed legislation to ban so-called “red flag laws,” standing firm against any attempt to erode Texans’ Second Amendment freedoms.
Sharia Law
Islamic fundamentalism and Sharia law are incompatible with Western civilization and represent an existential threat to our values and way of life. Full stop.That’s why I coauthored House Bill 45 in 2017, ensuring Texas courts may only enforce American law and must reject any foreign legal system - including Sharia law - when it conflicts with the United States or Texas Constitutions. I also proudly voted for House Bill 4211 (2025), which stopped the development of Islamic enclaves like the proposed “EPIC City” in Plano, where property ownership and community participation would have been restricted to Muslims, enforcing religious and cultural compliance.I also voted against House Resolution 34, which sought to officially recognize the holy month of Ramadan in the Texas House.
I also stopped an effort by the left to require the Five Pillars of Islam to be displayed in Texas classrooms. Our children deserve an education rooted in academic excellence, not ideological indoctrination.
I applaud Governor Greg Abbott for designating the Muslim Brotherhood and CAIR as foreign terrorist organizations, preventing them from owning land in Texas and empowering the Attorney General to pursue criminal investigations.The fact that these votes, laws, and executive actions were even necessary proves the urgent need to overhaul our federal immigration and asylum system. In Congress, I will work to codify President Trump’s policies to revoke visas and deport non-citizens who support extremist or terrorist causes, and to fix the broken asylum process so claims are resolved quickly—not years later. Those who do not qualify must be returned promptly, and those granted protection should receive only temporary status until it is safe to return home.Anyone chanting “death to America” or supporting terrorist or extremist ideologies must be deported immediately.As your Congressman, I will always defend our values, protect our classrooms, and stand firm against extremist agendas that threaten the safety and future of Texas and America.
Faith & Family Values
Religious liberty is a foundational American right, and it must be fully restored—ensuring that all individuals, including pastors, teachers, and government employees, are free to express their faith without fear or restriction. In Austin, I’ve led the fight to uphold and strengthen traditional Christian values, and I remain fully committed to protecting the autonomy and integrity of Texas families.
I believe the traditional family is the cornerstone of a healthy society, and that marriage should be defined as the union of one man and one woman. As a husband and father of five sons, I know firsthand the importance of strong families built on personal responsibility and accountability.
As your State Representative, I supported the “Chick-fil-A” bill to stop government discrimination against businesses based on religious beliefs. I also co-authored legislation to protect girls’ sports by ensuring that biological males cannot compete in female athletic events.
Sanctity of Life
I am a proud and unapologetic supporter of the Right to Life movement—and I have the record to prove it. Life must be respected and protected from conception to natural death. As a committed pro-life advocate, I am determined to lead the charge to fully end the abortion industry in Texas, including cutting off all funding to Planned Parenthood and its affiliates.
As your State Representative, I have consistently championed pro-life legislation. I authored the Texas Heartbeat Bill, which prohibits abortions once a fetal heartbeat is detected, and I co-authored the Texas “Trigger Law,” which banned abortion in our state following the Supreme Court’s decision in Dobbs v. Jackson, overturning Roe v. Wade.
I’ve also taken action to enforce the law—sending cease-and-desist letters to every abortion fund in Texas, reminding them that Texas law imposes felony penalties on anyone who knowingly provides the means to procure an abortion.
Protecting Girls
As State Representative, my job is to protect children, safeguard parental rights, and ensure that Texas remains a state where common sense and biological reality guide our laws. That’s why I cosponsored Senate Bill 8 (2025), which protects girls’ private spaces, keeping biological males out of sex-separated facilities on public property.I also coauthored House Bill 25 (2021) and cosponsored Senate Bill 15 (2023), which prevents biological males from competing against girls and women in high school and collegiate sports.I cosponsored Senate Bill 14 (2023), which stops “social” transitioning of our kids. It is now illegal for a woke Austin teacher (or public school anywhere else) to refer to children by the wrong name or gender pronoun behind parents’ backs.In fact, I coauthored House Bill 229 (2025), which completely defines “male” and “female” to mean biological sex.These common sense bills were opposed by virtually every Democrat in the House, demonstrating just how radical their party has become and why they can never be entrusted with the levers of power.
Crypto Currency
I'm fully aligned with President Trump on crypto and stablecoins: They're a massive opportunity to make America the global leader in innovation and financial freedom. We must end the regulatory war on crypto, establish a national Bitcoin reserve, and promote stablecoins tied to the dollar to strengthen our economy and outpace China. No more stifling red tape-let's unleash American ingenuity, create jobs, and secure our digital future!

Cain's campaign website highlighted the following issues:
| “ |
Border Security: With over 1,200 miles of border with Mexico, Texas must act to stop the detrimental economic and social effects that come with illegal immigration. I support the ending of sanctuary cities the ability of Texas law enforcement to enforce the rule of law and the will of the people. Jobs and the Economy: I believe the government cannot create jobs, wealth or grow the economy. This is the role of businesses and entrepreneurs. In Austin, I will fight to get government out of the way of the real job creators and wealth creators–small businesses and entrepreneurs. Faith and Family Values: I am fully committed to making sure Texas families stay strong and autonomous. I believe the traditional family unit is the backbone of society and that marriage should be only between one man and one woman. I am happily married with two sons and we are expecting our third child in late November. We can strengthen Texas families by returning to principles of personal responsibility and accountability. Transparency and Accountability: The larger the government, the smaller the individual. If we are to hold our elected officials accountable, we must have a government that answers to the people and not big businesses. As a conservative republican I believe that we must draw a line in the sand and say no more. No more political lip-service. No more budget and spending increases. No more accounting gimmicks and budget trickery. Sanctity of Life: As a pro-life advocate with a record of defending the unborn I will lead the fight to fully end the abortion industry in Texas. That means the total defunding of Planned Parenthood and its affiliates.[14] |

2014
Cain listed the following issues on his campaign website:[16]
- Budget: "I support moving to a zero-based budget system."
- Property tax: "I support a constitutional amendment to automatically lower appraisal district taxes to 5% or less."
- Voting: "Requiring a valid Texas issued photo ID to vote is essential to restoring fair elections and reducing voter fraud."
- Abortion: "I’m an unapologetic supporter of the Right to Life with a record to prove it."
- Same sex marriage: "I believe the traditional family unit is the backbone of society and that marriage should be only between one man and one woman."
- Tax reform: "I oppose all efforts to implement a state income tax and pledge to oppose all efforts to increase Taxes whatsoever. I also support significantly reducing or eliminating the Margins Tax."
- Immigration: " I believe that increased border security is critical for increasing job opportunities for Americans, and decreasing crime and taxes on Texas families. I also oppose blanket amnesty, the ending of sanctuary cities and support the ability of Texas law enforcement to enforce the rule of law and the will of the people."
- Natural resources: "A strong and deregulated energy climate in Texas means a stronger America."
- Education: "I support greater school choice and believe that the State Board of Education should have the authority to appoint the Commissioner of Education and textbook review committees."
- Healthcare: "I passionately support the defunding and repeal of Obama Care."

Scorecards
A scorecard evaluates a legislator’s voting record. Its purpose is to inform voters about the legislator’s political positions. Because scorecards have varying purposes and methodologies, each report should be considered on its own merits. For example, an advocacy group’s scorecard may assess a legislator’s voting record on one issue while a state newspaper’s scorecard may evaluate the voting record in its entirety.
Ballotpedia is in the process of developing an encyclopedic list of published scorecards. Some states have a limited number of available scorecards or scorecards produced only by select groups. It is Ballotpedia’s goal to incorporate all available scorecards regardless of ideology or number.
