| Collapse all
- Government has gone outside its bounds. It is no longer for the people by the, people and we must return to less intrusive government and restore law and order to our state and country. This can only be achieved by citizens re-engaging in government.
- My endorsements are from Grassroots leaders and organizations, not lobbyists. I have been endorsed by State Representative Doc Anderson who is retiring from the position I'm running for, Texas Attorney General Ken Paxton, Lt. Col.(ret) Allen West, Col (ret) Jon Ker, Grassroots American "We the People", Texas Right to Life, Texas Eagle Forum PAC, Citizens for Pro-Life Action of McLennan County. I have also been recommended by True Texas Project and Texans for Vaccine Choice. I've received the highest candidate rating from the Nation Rifle Assn of AQ and an A rating from Gunowner's of America.
- My motivation for the active role I have played and for running for House District 56 is our children and grandchildren. We must leave a free country where they can thrive.
Property Tax - Texas has become unaffordable to citizens.
Healthcare - return to privacy and affordability. Pharma and insurance companies should not be in control of the care our citizens receive.
Improve education and stand firmly behind parental rights.
