Expand all | Collapse all

I am the 2nd youngest of 5 boys born to a mother who began having children in 1962 when she was just 15 years old herself. I am the first in my extended family to finish high school. I am a twice-honorably discharged Army Infantry and Desert Storm veteran. I am a first-generation college graduate, graduating with honors in 2010 at the age of 42 with a bachelor's degree in economics. I worked my way through graduate school school as a high school math teacher, completing a master's degree in economics in 2013 and a doctoral degree in educational leadership in 2018. I currently work as an adjunct professor of economics and teach college math at a local high school. I have been married for 16 years and I am the proud father of a young boy, Jackson.
  • We must do everything in our power to secure the border. A nation without a border is not soverign.
  • As an educator, I am an advocate for school choice.
  • If I am fortunate to have the opportunity to represent the voters of TXHD99, I commit to going to Austin and do what the voters want me to do, not what I think is best. I am constrained only by our Constitution and my faith. I will advocate on behalf of my constituents, not on the behalf of the lobbyists that have been invaded Austin.
I am passionate about education. I know first-hand that education has the power to utterly transform lives, as it has mine. I want to work to ensure every student has an opportunity to reach their full potential.

As a veteran, I am passionate about veteran issues. For example, we have a state law (Chapter 657) related to veterans employment preference, but there is no real enforcement mechanism. It's passage was little more than legislative virtue-signaling. I want to put teeth into that law. Otherwise, it should simply be repealed.

I am also an economist and I want to ensure that our state's economy is protected from the federal government's continued encroachment.
Milton Friedman and Thomas Sowell.
Basic Economics by Thomas Sowell.
Honor and trustworthiness are the most important characteristics, in my estimation. The most important principles are those codified in the Bible and in our Constitution.
I am honorable and trustworthy. There is little we can control in this world, but we get to choose to be true to our word.
To listen to their voters and be accountable to them.
I have long held the belief that the best legacy we can leave is a well-raised child. As a father, I can think of nothing more important than being a good father to my son.
The Challenger explosion in 1986. I was a senior in high school about to turn 18 and it was announced over our loud speaker at the school.
When I was in high school, I worked at a fast food restaurant. I joined the military not long after I graduated, so I only have the job for just under 2 years.
The Road Less Traveled, by Dr. M. Scott Peck. It helped me realize that life is hard and that is rarely anybody's fault.
I do not think I would ever want to be a fictional character.
"Ain't Gotta Dollar," by Oliver Anthony. (Also, most anything by Tom Petty & the Heartbreakers.)
After I left the Army in 1991, I floundered for a number of years. I was able to find work in Austin in the budding IT industry at the time, but eventually those opportunities dried up. I have had my car repossessed. I have been evicted from my home. I have been homeless. I struggled to make ends meet.
A partnership.
Education, economics, border security - all three of these are related.
No, quite the opposite. I believe our nation and state would be better served by citizen representatives who adhere to term limitations.
Of course relationships are important but the most important relationship I will have is with my constituents, not with other legislators.
Not really. I just want to effectively represent TXHD99.
I doubt it, but I would never say never.
I had a voter share with me how he lost his son. As a father myself, that has stayed with me.
Why don't skeletons fart? Because they don't have the guts. (Okay, this is my son's favorite joke, but I like it, too.)
Yes, constrained by the Constitution.
Under certain circumstances, of course. But I do NOT believe in compromise for compromise sake.
Term limitations.
I have big endorsements pending. You can get the most up to date information at https://www.jack4texas.com/view-endorsements.
