Hillsdale College has courses which should give you an idea where my mind is about government. Hillsdale College will not take government money and no government student loans. So they will teach the true values without the woke policies mandated to other institutions of higher learning.

What characteristics or principles are most important for an elected official?

Be the public servant of the Sovereign People. Not self serving.

What qualities do you possess that you believe would make you a successful officeholder?

Great listener. With years of team building skills, I will walk into the job on day one and form a great team to project the same message, help our Constituents.

What do you believe are the core responsibilities for someone elected to this office?

Patrick Gillespie (R)

You are hired by the Sovereign People to do their bidding because Millions of Sovereigns can't go to Washington to vote on issues themselves. 750,000 +/- souls are depending their elected servant to keep this nation safe, and prosper. Not to sell them to the highest bidder.

Patrick Gillespie (R)

According to the Constitution for the United States, the House of Representatives have the power of the purse.

Do you believe that it's beneficial for representatives to have previous experience in government or politics?

Patrick Gillespie (R)

No. Representatives must have real world knowledge of what a cause and effect loop their policies have on We the People. Make the representatives work at minimum wage jobs first. Make a business and be saddled with heavy regulations. Then to threaten them with eviction.

What do you perceive to be the United States’ greatest challenges as a nation over the next decade?

Patrick Gillespie (R)

Stay away from becoming overt Communist. The Democrat Party under the first Democrat president elected after the Civil War was Grover Cleveland in 1884. He lost his re-election in 1888. Read Cleveland's State of the Union address of 1888 and it would read like the Communist Manifesto which was translated into English in 1888. Lame Duck Cleveland signed the Communist Manifesto into law before leaving office on March 4, 1889.

Evidence to my pronouncement comes when you buy a home, car, any tangible item with value. Buy a home, you get only a warranty dead instead of a land grant. Warranty Dead is the Title just like the State is giving first refusal to pay the property taxes. You buy a car. You pay T.T. and L Tax, Title and License and You are giving the State a new car which they will allow (ENTITLE) you to drive with conditions.

Do you believe that two years is the right term length for representatives?

Patrick Gillespie (R)

No. Four Years. It takes 18 months just to get the feel of Congress.

What are your thoughts on term limits?

Patrick Gillespie (R)

I am committed sponsoring Term Limits. Term Limits are good if You also make the law where the lame duck cannot make laws detrimental to the Liberty of, We the Sovereign People of these United States.

It was because FDR broke the tradition of 2 terms as President that we have term limits for President. Serving more than three terms as Congressman and two terms as Senator would give the impression You want to be King instead of a Public Servant.

I am 66 years old, so I have my own term limit.

Is there a particular representative, past or present, whom you want to model yourself after?

Patrick Gillespie (R)

First Ron Paul would come to mind. Then the original conservative Senator Berry Goldwater.

Do you believe that compromise is necessary or desirable for policymaking?

Patrick Gillespie (R)

The Democrats wants all their bills to pass without compromise. That is why no bills have passed the Congress since the Republicans took power in the House of Representatives in 2022. Just continuing resolutions (CR).

The Constitution says that all bills for raising revenue must originate in the House. What role would this power play in your priorities if elected?

Patrick Gillespie (R)

Be conservative with raising revenue. Claw back money which has been foolishly passed in the previous Congress like 80 Billion Dollars for the IRS Hiring 80,00 gun toting agents to harass the Citizens.

How should the U.S. House use its investigative powers?

Patrick Gillespie (R)

There are people that have abused their power. In previous Congresses have impeached former President Trump over a phone call. Over January 6th and destroyed all records when subpoenaed by the current Congress.

True wrong doers need to be investigated and prosecuted.

Any person abusing the investigative powers need to be sanctioned and voted out of Congress.

What committees interest you?

Patrick Gillespie (R)

Air and Space

What are your views on financial transparency and government accountability?

Patrick Gillespie (R)

In my view, financial transparency is sharing accurate information about our nation's financial performance.

Citizens demand accountability in our American Government.

When researching the government's accountability, you can't get a clear answer even through the GAO (U.S. Government Accountability Office). With around 10,000 government programs, I believe only a few programs have accountability metrics.

General election race ratings

Ballotpedia provides race ratings from four outlets: The Cook Political Report, Inside Elections, Sabato's Crystal Ball, and DDHQ/The Hill. Each race rating indicates if one party is perceived to have an advantage in the race and, if so, the degree of advantage:

• Safe and Solid ratings indicate that one party has a clear edge and the race is not competitive.
• Likely ratings indicate that one party has a clear edge, but an upset is possible.
• Lean ratings indicate that one party has a small edge, but the race is competitive.
• Toss-up ratings indicate that neither party has an advantage.

Race ratings are informed by a number of factors, including polling, candidate quality, and election result history in the race's district or state.

Post-filing deadline analysis

The following analysis covers all U.S. House districts up for election in Texas in 2024. Information below was calculated on 1/29/2024, and may differ from information shown in the table above due to candidate replacements and withdrawals after that time.

In 2024, 164 candidates filed to run for Texas’ 38 U.S. House districts, including 63 Democrats and 101 Republicans. That was 4.3 candidates per district, the lowest number since 2016, when 3.5 candidates ran.

In 2022, the first election after the number of congressional districts in Texas increased from 36 to 38, 5.8 candidates ran per district. In 2020, 6.4 candidates ran, and 5.8 candidates ran in 2018.

The 164 candidates who ran in 2024 were also the fewest total number to run since 2016, when 127 candidates ran. One hundred candidates ran for Texas’ then-36 districts in 2014, the fewest in the decade, while 231 ran in 2020, the decade-high.

Three seats were open. That was the fewest since 2016, when two seats were open. Six seats were open in 2022 and 2020, and eight were in 2018—the decade-high.

Reps. Kay Granger (R-12th) and Michael Burgess (R-26th) retired from public office. Rep. Colin Allred (D-32nd) didn't seek re-election in order to run for the U.S. Senate. Fourteen candidates—10 Democrats and 4 Republicans—ran for the open 32nd district, the most candidates who ran for a seat in 2024.

Thirty-nine primaries—16 Democratic and 23 Republican—were contested this year. That was the fewest since 2016, when 33 were contested. There were 44 contested primaries in 2022, 50 in 2020, and 46 in 2018.

Nineteen incumbents—six Democrats and thirteen Republicans—faced primary challengers this year. That was the same number as 2022, and one more than in 2020.

Three districts—the 9th, the 20th, and the 30th—were guaranteed to Democrats because no Republicans filed to run. Five were guaranteed to Republicans because no Democrats filed to run—the 1st, the 11th, the 13th, the 19th, and the 25th.
