- Secure the Southern Border.
- Provide Quality Public Education to Texan Students.
- Encourage Pro-Growth Policies and Accountability for Government Spending.
My second area of focus is public education. Texas is constitutionally required to provide public education, and I believe that quality public education is the key to our growth and prosperity as a state. I want to see financial literacy courses added into high school curriculum, which would give students an edge in navigating our expanding economy. I would also like to see a focus on career and technical skills by partnering with local junior colleges and businesses. Every investment made in Texan students is an investment in Texas's future.
Public Education
