| Collapse all
- I am running because I believe that Texas can and must do better. We must fully address the border crisis, secure our elections, and protect our children from harmful policies and curricula. We must stand up for religious freedom and the right to homeschool, support natural health and alternative medicine, and foster a strong, Godly economy that lifts up all Texans. In contrast to Governor Abbott's more independent or neutral approach, I offer a clear, conservative vision for Texas – one that is grounded in Biblical principles, fiscal responsibility, and a commitment to limited government. I am not a career politician, and I am not afraid to challenge the status quo or stand up for what most conservative Texans believe in.
- Dr. Pete “Doc” Chambers is a retired U.S. Army Lieutenant Colonel, Special Forces Green Beret, and physician who has dedicated his life to defending freedom and serving others. From combat zones to the Texas border, Doc has always shown up where leadership is needed most. With over 30 years of service, multiple combat tours, and a proven track record of standing for truth—even under pressure—Doc is stepping up once again. This time, to fight for Texas.
- Why Doc Chambers? Proven in Crisis – Doc made life-and-death decisions under fire as a Green Beret and combat medic. He knows how to lead when it counts. He has experience as a statesman and a warrior diplomat. No Nonsense. No Compromise. – He stood up to government overreach during COVID—even when it cost him his career. Not a Politician – Doc’s loyalty is to the people, not party donors or political elites. Texas First, Always – He’ll secure our border, defend medical and parental rights, and protect our way of life. Texas doesn’t need another politician. It needs a warrior with integrity. That’s Doc.
