I am a native Texan and a resident of Waxahachie, Ellis County Texas. As a businessman and strong conservative I have become disgruntled, more accurately fed up with the current political climate. There are only sound bites and dramatic antics with no serious debate or attempt to arrive at simple and reasonable solutions.

With this special election being called on August 6th for August 31st, I concluded this was a typical rush to favor another crony. When I asked myself who is going to run against this guy -- I heard God say "you are". I trust He has His reasons -- winning may or may not be His purpose. I am confident we will understand His purpose in hind sight. I have entered this race at His call and trusting His outcome.

I need to be able to look my grandchildren in the eye and say "I am doing everything possible to protect your future".
  • 'States Rights' is the key to bringing about real and meaningful 1776 Constitutional Rule and limiting the Federal Government overreach and unconstitutional ruining of America.
  • I will support and press forward to abolish abortion -- in particular, take this issue out of Federal jurisdiction and back in the hands of the states.
  • The Federal Government has no authority to regulate (in an attempt to thwart the 2nd Amendment) the manufacture, distribution, sale or ownership of arms of any kind.
Reclaiming the rule of law as contained in the Constitution of 1776 along with the Bill of Rights and Declaration of Independence. We MUST stop the slide down the slippery slope. We the People must reclaim our rightful place, and stop being the governed. We must return to laws being legislated and end the rule by fiat of agencies not empowered to do so.

Above all Jesus, as I believe our being human is about becoming divine.

Teddy Roosevelt, he knew himself and used it in powerful ways to overcome many personal and political challenges.

Leonardo Di Vinci, was not afraid to try and fail and was not limited by a label.
Atlas Shrugged under the light of the Bible -- there is an oxymoron for you!
To reconcile the will of the constituents with care and reason, and then within legislation. Find balance, and know thyself!
Faith and patience! I believe acceptance is powerful and tolerance is the measure of failure.
Deliver excellent solutions!
Less government
I was on the first Highjacked airliner, I was 10 years old -- shortly after was the assignation of JFK.
Began as a Stocker ended as a Cashier. For three years while in High School.
Generations, The history of America's future 1584 - 2069 by Strauss & Howe

It completely changed the way I looked at our politics and society, and gave me insight as to how to bend minds.
Merlin
Something my granddaughter was singing and I have no idea what it was!
Saying 'please'.
The Governor must have a clear vision, and then effectively convey it to the people in such away that the legislature become determined pass supportive or limiting legislation and to find the means and resources to allow the Governor (administration) to carry out the peoples' will. The legislature is obligated to go to the people with an alternate vision if required, so then the governor is obliged to re cast the vision to the will of the people.
Stopping Federal overreach and incompetence!
I believe this is irrelevant as Texas has a bicameral legislature.
We need less lawyers, career politicians and appointed persons in government and more business people, medical professionals, homemakers, etc. We need term limits.
Absolutely! God is less interested in our righteousness than He is for us to be rightly related to one another. I have had to do it in business to achieve a goal -- it should be the same in legislation.
Over simplified -- overlay a xy grid and aggregate connective sections until a district of plus or minus 3% is achieved. The quadrants would be small enough that in connecting them it will require a minimum of two sides for a connection. We need to end gerrymandering based on two parties.
My first goal is to understand, and as a freshman I will do all I can to be effective on any committee -- they all need work.
I hope I become the one future generations want to model!
No
Have you ever noticed that all the small towns are named after the water tower?
Yes
No, compromise is for people who believe they are right -- the holder of the truth. I strongly believe that two people who have widely varying views, when are able to actually listen and debate (without the limit of having to be right) can and will arrive at a third maybe even fourth alternative that exceeds either of the first two premises. If you want to be understood then first understand. The question is are you looking for a solution or to be the winner?
