Husband, Father, Texan, Former U.S. Navy Seal, Congressional Candidate for TX-08
Our freedoms are under the constant threat of the socialist agenda. The radical left is waging a culture war on Texan's very way of life. Like you, I will not allow the conservative values we’re teaching our children to be threatened by DC. As our Congressman, I will bring bold leadership, put America first, fight to finish the Wall, stop radical indoctrination in our kids’ classrooms, defend from increasing cybersecurity threats, stand with Israel, and protect America from the threat of Russia and China and socialists here at home.
