| Collapse all
Hullihan was raised in Montgomery County, Texas. With his foundation, Hullihan with bring real hometown values to D.C., leading the charge against establishment insiders and those that enable the erosion of Texas sovereignty and corrosive Marxism into American society.
Upon graduation from New Caney High School, Hullihan was awarded a football athletic scholarship to Texas State University, graduating cum laude with a Bachelor of Arts Degree, double majoring in Political Science and History.
After graduation from Texas State, Hullihan attended Loyola University College of Law, was awarded a Dean’s Merit Scholarship, was Loyola’s recipient of the Law League of Louisiana’s Taylor, Porter, Brooks & Phillips Law School Merit Award, and was President of the Loyola College of Law Federalist Society chapter. After graduation from Loyola with a Juris Doctorate, Hullihan was commissioned as a naval officer in the Navy Judge Advocate General's Corps.- Jonathan Hullihan is the American First candidate. The United States of America is the greatest country in the history of the world. Despite our historical scars, we live in the freest nation to have ever come into existence. Being born an American is a lottery ticket on life, where still today, you can achieve and dream and become anything you want if you have the grit, determination, and fortitude to go after it. It relates to me because I have seen tyranny around the world, and with a historical perspective, I see our American norms and the rule of law slipping away. Core issues of individual liberty, economic liberty, medical liberty, etc, are incrementally being chipped away and being replaced with dangerous centralized totalitarianism
- Jonathan believes the federal government should only be involved in those matters specifically enumerated in the US Constitution to create an environment that fosters healthy economic growth and protects the National Security of the United States.. The various states should exercise authority and a role of limited government that respects individual liberty, and only exercises police power to ensure society in not lawless, and that fosters an open and free civil society.
- The 2nd amendment means allowing individuals to secure their liberty and right to self defense of themselves and their families. I believe in the originalist and founders viewpoint, that governments will use standing armies and tyranny against their own people if allowed the opportunity. The right of the people to keep and bear arms should not be infringed, just like the right to free speech or the right to practice the free exercise of religion. This is a right rooted in natural law, and the government should not be allowed to remove a right that is already granted by nature and God our creator.
I would like to build coalitions of new political leaders that put the US constitution and “We the People....” above all else.
I would like to use my legal education as a weapon system and fight back against the socialist in our government.
I would like to review the statutes that created various federal agencies, remove unconstitutional authorities, and defund and descale the federal government agencies. This will result in liberty to the various states, or the people, as intended by the 10th Amendment.
I believe Congress has abdicated their duties for far too long, relying on the federal agencies and bureaucracies of their own creation.
The CCP is on the rise around the globe, marxism and socialism has infiltrated our public education system, our media, and many of our government institutions.
