| Collapse all
I was born and raised near Los Angeles by my hardworking single mother, a dedicated nurse who instilled American values of hard work, faith, and patriotism. She sacrificed to provide me with a Christian education, laying the foundation for my lifelong dedication to service and love for this country.
My public service began early in a junior fire academy, where I later became an instructor. Driven by a call to serve my country, I joined the U.S. Army as an infantryman and paratrooper in the 82nd Airborne Division. While deployed to Kandahar, Afghanistan, I led an infantry team and earned an Army Commendation Medal and the Combat Infantryman’s Badge.
After an injury ended my military career, I turned to community service, volunteering at my church and building a successful career in real estate. I moved to Texas with my wife, Cory, in 2017, where we’ve raised four wonderful children and deepened our connection to this great state.
In Texas, I found a community that values resilience, faith, and freedom. We deserve leadership that reflects their values and fights for their interests—not D.C. elites.
My campaign platform focuses on America First policies:
-Permanently securing the border -Fighting government waste -Fixing veterans’ healthcare -Protecting Texans’ liberties
I’m ready to bring real conservative leadership to Washington—for Texas, and for you.- I am going to support the AMERICA FIRST agenda by permanently securing our border, protecting our liberties, and fully supporting DOGE recommendations to gut the bureaucracy and cut senseless spending.
- I am going to work to fix veterans’ healthcare to ensure veterans get the highest quality care without delays or red tape.
- I'm going to work to end green energy subsidies to bring more high quality oil and gas jobs to Texas families and drive down energy costs for everyone.
The VA is bloated and efficient. It's filled with red tape and bureaucrats that have no interest in working with veterans to deliver excellent health care outcomes. We need to radically reform the VA: get rid of the bureaucrats and the administrators, facilitate more virtual appointments for mental healthcare, and most importantly, we need to allow every veteran to see any doctor of their choosing without needing to first ask the VA's permission or fill out extra paperwork.
Above all other characteristics, the voters must set the expectations for the elected official, and the elected official ought to act in their fullest capacity to meet those expectations.
Among other things, the House also originates all spending bills and impeachment proceedings. These are powerful tools that Members should be using to go on the offense to get results for their voters.
"Experience" is what got us most of the problems that we have today.
Voters of all stripes are exhausted of seeing their representatives go on FOX News and talk a big game and never taking action that represents the voters' will.
