| Collapse all
- As a legislator, I will fight shoulder-to-shoulder
with President Trump and Governor Abbott
to secure the Texas border, finish the wall and support Border Patrol and ICE. He will also work to stop liberal cities and activist judges from sheltering illegal immigrants. - I will fight to lower costs for our families and taxpayers by permanently cutting property taxes and continuing the Texas economic miracle. By eliminating the M&O property tax, capping appraisal growth and lowering insurance costs by stopping frivolous lawsuits, we can make Texas more affordable.
- If elected, I will make government work for you, not against you. I'll work to reform school finance, so our tax dollars stay in our school districts and aren't sent off to other cities. I'll file a bill to ban taxpayer funded lobbying so government isn't using our tax dollars to lobby government. We will protect our kids by ended taxpayer funded DEI programs and woke indoctrination.
