Carmona's website highlighted the following campaign themes:[5]
Economic Growth, Budgeting, Jobs
- Excerpt: "Increasing taxes on Texans is not an option. Likewise, fees disguised as taxes are also off the table. Texas has become an economic beacon by not imposing a state income tax, while also exercising fiscal responsibility when it comes to spending."
Parental Choice in Education
- Excerpt: "I strongly support Parental Choice in Education. I believe choice and competition make our schools better and our communities stronger. Texas should offer parents Opportunity Scholarships so they can send their children to the schools they feel will best educate their children."
Community Empowerment
- Excerpt: "Texas needs to do a better job of empowering communities. Texas is growing too big to be single-handedly managed by a state government. We always see in times of turmoil, that communities can act more quickly than the state or federal government. Whether it is a church, charity or neighborhood organization, local people are always “in the know” about how to best care for their communities."
Reduce Property Taxes
- Excerpt: "Texas should eliminate property taxes for all property owners. It is time to reform the education funding method, which could be better accounted for via a consumption tax rather than the current funding formula."
Transparency
- Excerpt: "As online technologies and tools like cloud-hosting get better and better, governments have started opening their books to the public. We need to encourage this trend to continue until we have complete transparency in state government."

Carmona was a district-level delegate to the 2016 Republican National Convention from Texas. Carmona was one of 48 delegates from Texas bound by state party rules to support Donald Trump at the convention.[6] As of July 13, 2016, Trump had approximately 1,542 delegates. The winner of the Republican nomination needed the support of 1,237 delegates. Trump formally won the nomination on July 19, 2016.
Delegate rules
At-large delegates from Texas to the national convention were selected by a state nominations committee and approved by the Texas State GOP Convention in May 2016. District-level delegates were elected by congressional districts at the state convention and then approved by the convention as a whole. At the national convention, all delegates were bound on the first ballot unless their candidate withdrew from the race or released his or her delegates. A delegate remained bound on the second ballot if his or her candidate received at least 20 percent of the total vote on the first ballot. On the third and subsequent ballots, all delegates were to become unbound.

Delegate allocation
Texas had 155 delegates at the 2016 Republican National Convention. Of this total, 108 were district-level delegates (three for each of the state's 36 congressional districts). District-level delegates were allocated on a proportional basis; a candidate had to win at least 20 percent of the primary vote in a district in order to be eligible to receive any of that district's delegates. If only one candidate met the 20 percent threshold in a district, he or she won all of the district's delegates. If two candidates met this threshold, the first place finisher received two of the district's delegates; the second place finisher received the remaining delegate. If no candidate won 20 percent of the vote, the top three finishers in a district each received one of the district's delegates. If a candidate won more than 50 percent of the vote in a district, he or she received all of the district's delegates.[7][8]
Of the remaining 47 delegates, 44 served at large. At-large delegates were allocated on a proportional basis; a candidate had to win at least 20 percent of the statewide primary vote in order to be eligible to receive any of the state's at-large delegates. If only one candidate broke the 20 percent threshold, the second place finisher still received a portion of the state's at-large delegates. If a candidate won more than 50 percent of the statewide vote, he or she received all of the state's at-large delegates. In addition, three national party leaders (identified on the chart below as RNC delegates) served as bound delegates to the Republican National Convention.[7][8]
