- I’m running for Congress because Washington should work for the people. As a geophysicist, I look at data, and it shows our federal budget is lawless. We currently have hundreds of unauthorized programs spending billions on autopilot. I’m not a career politician; that’s why I firmly support term limits. I will use my technical background to advocate for zero-based budgeting, requiring every agency to account for every dollar. This isn't just about cutting waste, it’s about using the power of the purse to bring transparency and oversight to a broken system. By requiring data-driven justification for all spending, we can finally rein in unelected bureaucrats, end the cycle of lawless spending, and restore trust in our government.
- For families in TX-22, national security starts with border integrity and a stable economy. Life is getting too expensive for our community, from young couples buying their first home to seniors planning for retirement. My approach is simple: we must properly maintain and modernize our physical and technological defenses while ensuring the consistent enforcement of national immigration laws to keep our towns safe from crime and trafficking. At the same time, we have to tackle the regulatory hurdles that drive up everyday costs. By removing the bureaucratic barriers that stall our local businesses and focusing on policies that support a solid living wage, we can ensure every Texan has the opportunity to build real financial security and live
- Energy independence is the backbone of a strong economy and a secure nation. I will work hard to unleash our oil, gas, and nuclear resources to lower utility bills and end our reliance on foreign adversaries. I am committed to fast-tracking federal reviews and reducing the bureaucratic delays that stall pipelines and reactors, ensuring Texas remains the global leader in energy exports. By removing the barriers that stifle innovation, we can spark long-term economic growth that creates high-paying jobs right here in our district. Defending our foundations, from our Second Amendment rights to our individual freedoms, ensures that Texas remains a place where businesses can thrive and families can prosper for generations to come.

Accountability Government and elected officials should work for the people, not for themselves. Texans in Congressional District 22 deserve leaders who are honest, transparent and straightforward about how decisions are made. This means sharing information clearly, making choices with integrity, and having strong oversight so power is not abused. Part of real accountability is knowing that no one should make a career out of holding office. Supporting term limits and working to get them enacted will bring fresh perspectives and new leadership. This will help prevent corruption, keep officials focused on serving their constituents, and ensure that power doesn’t stay in the same hands for too long. When leaders are held accountable—both by the people and the limit of time in office—trust is restored and people feel confident that their voice truly matters. It’s about making government work the way it’s supposed to: of the people, for the people, and by the people. America First Affordability & Economic Growth Life is expensive, and many Texans in Congressional District 22 are struggling with the basics—buying their first home, raising kids, saving for the future, and planning for retirement. We need policies that grow the American economy by creating good-paying jobs, supporting local businesses, and helping make everyday costs more manageable. This means cutting unnecessary regulations that slow down opportunity and encouraging innovation that helps families and communities grow. When people can earn a solid living wage, afford a home and build real financial security, everyone prospers. A strong economy isn’t just about numbers—it’s about people being able to live well, take care of their families, and have confidence in the future. National Security Keeping our country safe isn’t just about having a strong military—it’s also about protecting our families, our communities, and the American way of life. This means maintaining a secure border, consistent enforcement of national immigration laws, supporting law enforcement, and using smart foreign policy to keep dangers far from our towns and cities. Taking on crime, human trafficking, and other emerging threats keeps Texas Congressional District 22 families safe at home and builds a more secure Texas. Focusing on national security ensures parents can raise their children without fear, and future generations inherit an America that’s stable and ready for whatever challenges lie ahead. American Energy Independence Affordable and reliable energy is essential for families, businesses, and schools. Ensuring that we continue to unleash America’s own oil, gas, and nuclear resources will help keep energy bills lower, reduce reliance on foreign countries, and strengthen our national security. We must get rid of all Green New Deal type mandates that make energy more expensive for families. By taking a smart, practical approach to energy policy, we can make sure that homes are powered, businesses can operate, and future generations have the energy they need to grow and thrive. Energy independence isn’t just a policy—it’s a way to protect Texas Congressional District 22 families and the economy. Education Every child deserves a safe school and a quality education that truly prepares them for life. Education should be student-focused and parent-guided, with an emphasis on learning, practical skills, and strong academics that reflect the values our country was founded upon. This includes teaching American history, traditions, and civic values in an honest and age-appropriate way—ensuring students understand where our nation came from, what we stand for, and the principles that have guided generations of Americans. Schools should also offer programs that lead directly to real careers—vocational, technical, and trade pathways that give students skills they can use right away. A strong education system benefits everyone: it opens doors for students, supports local businesses with a skilled workforce, and helps Texas Congressional District 22 communities grow stronger and more resilient. Fiscal Responsibility Our government doesn’t have a revenue problem—it has a spending problem. Families have to budget responsibly, and government should too. Taxpayers deserve clear, straightforward information about where their money goes, without hidden agendas or confusing bureaucracy. Fiscal responsibility also means focusing on policies that truly help families—like lowering everyday costs, improving access to quality healthcare, and supporting financial stability. Instead of pouring taxpayer dollars into wasteful or unnecessary initiatives and programs, we should be investing in the people who are the backbone of America. When government lives within its means, families feel less financial burden and future generations aren’t stuck paying for today’s overspending. This isn’t just about cutting waste. It’s about making sure Texas Congressional District 22 has a strong foundation—so our families flourish, our schools produce successful students, and public services truly support the hardworking citizens who rely on them. American Values Our country is strongest when we protect life, support families, and defend the individual freedoms that allow Americans to build a prosperous life. The things many of us rely on every day—small businesses that keep our towns running, the ability to freely speak our minds, the freedom to practice our faith, and the Second Amendment right to protect ourselves and our families—are not just political ideas. They are the cornerstones of America. Our nation has made it through tough times because we stayed true to these beliefs: working hard, helping our neighbors, taking responsibility for our own lives, and believing that every person deserves a fair chance. If we want people today—and our kids tomorrow—to have the opportunity to live the American Dream, we must preserve the foundations that made this dream possible in the first place. Honoring our history and teaching it to the next generation isn’t about looking backward—it’s about defending the Constitution and keeping alive the principles that made America strong. These values hold our communities together, open doors for people to succeed, and ensure our country remains a place where freedom and opportunity are within reach for everyone. |
