| Collapse all
- I want to give the government's power back to the people of TX-08. I will always seek their input in all of my decisions. They will always come first. I believe in putting people before politics.
- We have to stop sending money to countries that hate us. We need to use American taxpayer dollars to invest in our own country. Also, hard-working Americans should be able to keep more of their paychecks.
- We need to stop the federal government from overreach, protect the U.S. Constitution and ensure the state of Texas can operate without interference from DC.
