In dealing with Islam, I am the clear choice to stop it, having fought the jihad since 1991. My opponent allowed 8 pro-Islam resolutions through the committee he chairs and has 61 donors in common with the two Islamic members of the Texas House. He allowed the purchase and proposed development of an Islamic community to happen in district. He has no plan or desire to stop Islam and allowed 13 million taxpayer dollars to go to Islamic entities on his watch. The choice is clear. PROPERTY TAX ELIMINATION - VOTE BROCK LESS SPENDING IN AUSTIN - VOTE BROCK
ISLAMIFICATION STOPPED - VOTE BROCK- Senior citizens are being taxed out of their homes in this district. I will eliminate property taxes for senior citizens. Not freeze them, eliminate them. I will work to pass a law that no taxing entity can raise taxes without voter approval and a law that freezes your homes value at its purchase price. My opponent has seen taxes increase by 31% since he has been in office. Texans need real tax relief and they can have it by VOTING for BROCK.
- Spending in Austin has increased by 43% since my opponent has been in office. At the same time, the salary for the average Texan has only gone up by 5%. Austin needs to tighten its belt, not Texans. I will advocate for a 5% across the board spending cut and work to DOGE Texas thoroughly. Even accounting for growth and inflation, spending has increased by over 50 billion. This is unacceptable growth endangering the Texas economic miracle. If you want less government spending, VOTE BROCK.
- Islam must be stopped. 13 million taxpayer dollars went to fund Islamic entities. Texas must not spend one dollar on this bankrupt ideology. I will start by passing legislation banning the waqf and forced zaccat, two Islamic financial instruments. I also want the burqa, hijab, niqab and abaya banned in public due to security. Further, ZERO recognition of any Islamic holidays or Islamic practices should make it through our legislature. My opponent allowed 8 resolutions celebrating Islam through the committee he chairs and has 61 common donors with the two Muslim state representatives. He is soft on Islam and I will be as hard as the titanium in the A-10 I flew.
Republicans need to vote and act like Republicans and do the will of the Republican party. I will work to pass all GoP legislative priorities and prioritize the roads, power and water the citizens of House District 106 in Denton county so desperately need.
