Husband, father of 4, God-fearing Christian, America First patriot, parental rights advocate, local conservative leader.
  • Achieve zero illegal border crossings per year and deport all these illegals - and then don't apologize for doing it.
  • End the covid virus hysteria and medical tyranny.
  • Root out critical race theory and "social emotional learning" and educate children properly.
I am very passionate about the First Amendment and the freedoms outlined within. I'm a direct descendant of (at least) 6 Mayflower passengers, countless American Revolutionaries, pioneers, and cowboys who settled the western frontier. Freedom of religion, freedom of speech, and the other rights in the 1A are non-negotiable..

I am also passionate about policies that are pro-family. The institution of marriage is in crisis and families in America are not strong. My view of public policy is through a lens of long-term health and well-being of families, as they are the foundation of a strong nation.

Lastly, elections must be secure and the public must believe they are secure.
Starship Troopers by Robert Heinlein
Someone who believes in being honorable and who fears God more than man.
I will push for what the voters want and I can not be bought. I do not fear any man and kneel only before God.
- Uphold the Constitution

- Protect the inalienable rights of Texans

- Represent the interests of the citizens of HD 98
My legacy will be that I never give up and do what is right, and as such, I will seek to secure our state from foreign invasion, end the harmful covid hysteria, secure our elections, and protect children by making schools educate children properly again.
My first job, beyond typical summer jobs for kids, was in my last semester of college as an intern in Oklahoma City working for Oklahoma County in corrections. I was amazed at the inefficiency and inflexibility of government. The things I learned that semester shaped my views as a conservative on the proper role of government.
The scriptures because they are true and have the information needed to understand who we are, where we came from, the nature of mankind, and the nature of God.
Lord, I Would Follow Thee
I do not give up even when others doubt.
A governor should provide encouragement and supplement the legislature's efforts, however, it is the legislature who should make the laws.
We have many people who have snuck into our state as illegal aliens or by other fraudulent means and they're not going to be allowed to stay.
It can be beneficial as long as you haven't caved to special interests.
Yes, this is obviously beneficial.
Republicans drawing the maps.
I am focused on winning this election right now.
n/a
I've been told I have the heart of Jonathan Stickland and the brains of Briscoe Cain.
I am focused on the task at hand, not interested in Washington DC.
I have heard countless stories of job loss over vaccine mandates (despite false claims the mandates are banned) and covid restrictions harming children and the elderly.
Joe Biden got 81 million votes campaigning from his basement.
Absolutely. They have a duty to oversee emergency powers.
Compromise can be good if it is done in wisdom and not at the behest of special interests.
