I am running for the 30th district seat of the US House of Representatives. Our district needs accurate and proper representation. I have lived in this district for most of my life, growing alongside my neighbors and community, experiencing firsthand the challenges and triumphs that define us. Now, more than ever, I want to stand up for all of my friends and neighbors who live here. In our great state of Texas, a place rich with diversity, tenacity, and resilience, it is crucial that we have leaders who understand our unique values and needs. As someone who has walked the same streets, attended the same schools, and faced the same issues as many of you, I am committed to ensuring that our voices are rightly heard in Washington.

  • We cannot continue to use band-aid bills for national symptoms. Our best strategy for the future is to attack the root-causes of our national issues. Eliminate unnecessary spending, reform Immigration, revamp how we handle mental health issues, and institute term limits. We can't kick the can down the road forever.
  • I am not a politician. I'm an IT guy. I have made a career out of finding the problem, fixing the problem, then returning to my desk. That is my goal for my time in Congress. This is not meant to be a lifetime career. I want to find the problems in Washington, do my part to fix those problems, then go home to live in the environment that I helped to create.
  • I grew up in District 30, spending my formative years in Lancaster, TX. At 16, my family moved to California, where my parent's were born. They had hoped to live in the land of beauty and opportunity that they remembered growing up. Sadly, California had drastically changed in the years they had been gone. As I grew into an adult, starting my own career and family, I found I missed my home in Texas. At the first opportunity, I moved back to Texas. I bought a home in Grand Prairie 10 years ago. I love this district. I love the people here, the opportunity here. And I would be honored to serve as a voice on the national stage for my neighbors.

Our national debt, our national security, and term limits for Congress.

Honesty, integrity, wisdom, strength.

There is an old saying, that only crooks and crazy people become politicians. The problem is that we have ended up with just that. We have forgotten that it is our duty, as American citizens, to find and raise up those among us that are worthy of being our voice on the national stage. We must find those of good moral standing, wise counsel, an honest heart and the strength to stand against those who would try to control and corrupt them.

To safeguard our constituents from bad policy and to listen to the will of the people when making informed decisions regard new legislation.

Yes. We are a nation of many thoughts and perspectives. It is only when we come together, compare our ideas and fit everything together, that this grand experiment, our Constitutional Republic, can work.

The U.S. House incorporates the multitude of voices from all corners of our great country. Where it's not just one voice from a particular state, but representatives of ideas and walks of life from many parts of those states.

Yes. It provides enough time to get their bearings, and for the public to evaluate if they're doing a good job or not.

While gathering signatures at a grocery store, a young man stated that our politics probably weren't the same. I told him that was fine and that it takes all of us coming together and talking to make this thing work, and to have a nice day. A few minutes later, he returned with an intense look in his eyes. He stopped me and told me that my words had touched his heart. That we don't stop and talk enough, before resorting to hate and violence. He signed my petition and said he would vote for me, even though he was a Democrat.

The government is not a for-profit enterprise. As representatives of the American people, we should be lowering costs and cutting taxes.

RiteAid pharmacy/convenience store in Elk Grove, California. I was a supervisor for 3 years.

Ronald Reagan, Jimmy Stewart, Mr Rogers.

Reagan was a man of wit and wisdom. He didn't always make the right decision, but he owned his mistakes and worked to make better decisions going forward.

Jimmy Stewart was a quiet man, but a giant in the golden age of Hollywood. He was credited with being a man who was not conquered by the traps and pitfalls of the film industry, but was the conqueror of Hollywood. A man who kept his character and good name throughout his lengthy career.

Mr Rogers. The preacher, the teacher, the neighbor. The man who always had a sweater ready in the closet, and a pearl of wisdom and comfort for all who watched him. He was the sort of person who welcomed all into his neighborhood, and we are all better off for it. He taught us to love each other and to find the wonder in the mysteries of our world. And most of all, he was our friend.

That I was able to give God the glory for anything I might have done. For it is through Him that I have anything, and it is to Him that I dedicate all I have.

End all electronic voting, institute paper ballots and hand counting/verification of votes, mandate single-day voting and limit the use of mail-in ballots to those overseas and non-ambulatory.
