Who are you? Tell us about yourself.

I am the only attorney seeking this position. I bring a legal education and nearly 20 years of experience practicing law to this position and will be ready to serve the people of Wise County on day one! Experience and dedication to the law matters because the Constitution never takes a night off.

Please list below 3 key messages of your campaign. What are the main points you want voters to remember about your goals for your time in office?

• I am the only candidate running for this position who is licensed to practice law in Texas and who has real-world experience practicing law. I am licensed in Texas, Georgia, Colorado and the District of Columbia. I am licensed to practice before the U.S. Supreme Court and numerous other federal appellate and trial courts.
• My law practice experience has included both civil and criminal work. The duties of a justice of the peace are broad: they are more than just traffic tickets and weddings. Civil claims up to $20,000 can be heard by a justice of the peace and the consequences of a judgment can be devastating. The people deserve a judge who understands both civil and criminal law.
• I have unmatched conservative credentials having been an attorney representing conservatives my entire career and advocating for conservative causes since I was a teenager.

What areas of public policy are you personally passionate about?

I am extremely passionate about protecting everyone's right to due process and fair treatment under the law. My personal pet projects relate to protecting 1st Amendment, 2nd Amendment, and hunting rights.
