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?

• Curb the Rapidly Increasing Cost of Living: Often, the families who struggle to make ends meet are the most affected by government spending, certain government regulations, and inflation. Prudent fiscal policies can enable Americans to prosper without being dictated to by politicians or bureaucrats. There is a financial crisis looming over the United States. Time is still on our side to change the course of events.
• Improve Access to Quality Health Care We need to stop the drive toward a government takeover of health care. As reported by the Texas Health Institute, the uninsured rate in Southwest Houston (45%) is roughly double that of greater Houston (23%), the state (19%), and the nation (9%). Politicians in our newly drawn District 7 should not accept donations from insurance companies while our people die and cannot afford healthcare.
• Defend against the attack on Conservative Values We cannot replace family with government! Every human being has the right to life from the moment he or she is conceived. Pregnancy is not oppression, abortion is not liberation, and having a nuclear family is not obsolete. We must safeguard constitutional rights, such as free speech, religious liberty, and gun rights, and limit government interference in our private lives.

What areas of public policy are you personally passionate about?

A fundamental reform of the US tax system aimed at reducing taxes would reduce the harm caused by the faulty and broken US tax system and contribute significantly to economic growth. A good tax policy should stimulate and incentivize economic growth and prosperity for individuals and businesses.

Who do you look up to? Whose example would you like to follow, and why?

I look up to my mother, who singlehandedly ensured that all her six children had a college education in a country without student loans.

What legacy would you like to leave?

A meaningful life is a life lived in service to others.

Campaign website

Omoruyi’s campaign website stated the following:

“	Curb the Rapidly Increasing Cost of Living Prices are rising for needy families, and there is one clear reason. The federal government printed money over the last eight years in an irresponsible way. We can’t just keep printing money and giving it away. That can get a politician re-elected in the short run—but the long run has now confronted us. Often, the families who struggle to make ends meet are the most affected by government spending, certain government regulations, and inflation. Prudent fiscal policies can enable Americans to prosper without being dictated to by politicians or bureaucrats. There is a financial crisis looming over the United States. Time is still on our side to change the course of events. Improve Access to Quality Health Care We need to stop the drive toward a government takeover of health care. As reported by the Texas Health Institute, the uninsured rate in Southwest Houston (45%) is roughly double that of greater Houston (23%), the state (19%), and the nation (9%). Politicians in our newly drawn District 7 should not accept donations from insurance companies while our people die and cannot afford healthcare. Reduce Taxes A fundamental reform of the US tax system aimed at reducing taxes would reduce the harm caused by the faulty and broken US tax system and contribute significantly to economic growth. A good tax policy should stimulate and incentivize economic growth and prosperity for individuals and businesses. Restore Trust, Integrity, Accountability, and Fiscal Responsibility in Government The American people are experiencing a crisis of trust in their leaders. Our government must restore public trust to carry out its missions, which include enforcing rules and regulations, regulating markets, and protecting citizens. Leadership in government should focus on building and maintaining citizen trust by focusing on humanity, transparency, capability, and reliability. Defend against the attack on Conservative Values We cannot replace family with government! Every human being has the right to life from the moment he or she is conceived. Pregnancy is not oppression, abortion is not liberation, and having a nuclear family is not obsolete. We must safeguard constitutional rights, such as free speech, religious liberty, and gun rights, and limit government interference in our private lives. Combat Increasing Crime A growing number of violent crimes are impacting a wide range of our communities, regardless of political affiliation. Residents of Texas Congressional District 7 have the right to be concerned about violent crime in their communities. It is estimated that the bulk of crimes aren’t reported to the police, and most crimes that are reported don’t get solved. Thus, most victims of the criminal justice system are not receiving justice and are at risk of becoming targets again in the future. A justice system that ensures that our American dream can be realized by all is a basic right for victims, and a basic right for our communities. Curb Immigration Challenges Neither the immigration system nor the borders of America are under control. We must strengthen our border and streamline the lawful migration pathways. The good news is that Congress can take action to strengthen the US immigration system through practical, comprehensive immigration reforms – Pre-Entry & Post-Entry.	”
