Submitted Biography:  "I’m Timothy Mabry, a sixth-generation Texan, Navy veteran, Eagle Scout, former fire lieutenant, husband, father of two, and business consultant. I was born and raised in San Antonio, and every step of my life has centered around service. Whether standing watch aboard a U.S. Navy destroyer, leading fire crews into burning buildings, or now coaching small business owners on leadership, growth, and resilience, my mission has always been to protect, serve, and strengthen the communities I love. Faith, family, and freedom are the foundation of who I am. I give all credit to God for my life and recovery from a mental health crisis that nearly took me out. That battle made me stronger, and it made me a fighter for those without a voice. I’m not a career politician. I’m a man who grew up around guns, working people, and biblical values. and I’m stepping into the arena because Texans are being sold out by elites who’ve forgotten who they serve. I’ve worked closely with city leaders, served briefly as a precinct chair, and remain involved in the Comal County GOP. My hobbies include fishing, gardening, and raising my family in the Texas Hill Country. This campaign is about restoring leadership with integrity, for God, for our families, and for Texas."

Key Messages

To read this candidate's full survey responses, click here.

---

Abolish Property Taxes: Texans should never fear losing their homes because of skyrocketing property taxes. We are not free when we’re forced to rent our land from the government. I’ve seen firsthand how this broken system punishes homeowners, my own property’s valuation jumped from $26,000 to $125,000 in just two years. This is not just unsustainable, it’s un-Texan. When elected as Lieutenant Governor, I will lead the charge to eliminate property taxes and replace them with a fair, transparent consumption-based model that protects families, restores ownership, and puts power back in the hands of the people.

---

End the Corruption – Power to the People: For too long, Austin has been run by backroom deals, bought-out politicians, and special interest sellouts. SB3, the THC ban, was a clear example, pushed by elites, not Texans, and it nearly crushed farmers, veterans, and small businesses. That’s not leadership, that’s betrayal. I’m running to expose the corruption, drain the swamp at the state level, and return power where it belongs, to WE THE PEOPLE. No more catering to lobbyists. No more silencing the working class. This is a campaign for the people, not the powerful, and I intend to prove it.

---

Put Texas First, Restore Control & Protect Our Communities: Texans are tired of being pushed around by out-of-touch elites in Austin and in D.C. We must take our power back. That starts with securing our border, stopping human trafficking, defending the Second Amendment, restoring common sense to our schools and communities, and rejecting federal overreach at every turn. It’s time to stand up for Texas values and Texas families. No more waiting on others, we lead, we protect, we decide. I’m running to put Texas first, and give the power back to you.

Timothy Mabry (R)

Abolish Property Taxes:

Texans should never fear losing their homes because of skyrocketing property taxes. We are not free when we’re forced to rent our land from the government. I’ve seen firsthand how this broken system punishes homeowners, my own property’s valuation jumped from $26,000 to $125,000 in just two years. This is not just unsustainable, it’s un-Texan.

When elected as Lieutenant Governor, I will lead the charge to eliminate property taxes and replace them with a fair, transparent consumption-based model that protects families, restores ownership, and puts power back in the hands of the people.

End the Corruption – Power to the People: For too long, Austin has been run by backroom deals, bought-out politicians, and special interest sellouts. SB3, the THC ban, was a clear example, pushed by elites, not Texans, and it nearly crushed farmers, veterans, and small businesses. That’s not leadership, that’s betrayal.

That starts with securing our border, stopping human trafficking, defending the Second Amendment, restoring common sense to our schools and communities, and rejecting federal overreach at every turn.

It’s time to stand up for Texas values and Texas families. No more waiting on others, we lead, we protect, we decide. I’m running to put Texas first, and give the power back to you.

What areas of public policy are you personally passionate about?

Timothy Mabry (R)

I’m passionate about defending those who defend us; veterans, first responders, and our farmers. We’re losing six farms a day in Texas, and our agricultural backbone is under threat. I’m committed to building a statewide resiliency program for transitioning military and first responders, focused on mental health and long-term stability. I also care deeply about infrastructure, our grid, water, and transportation systems are outdated and vulnerable. We must secure them now to protect Texas for generations to come.

Who do you look up to? Whose example would you like to follow, and why?

Timothy Mabry (R)

I look up to King David from the Bible. He was a flawed man, but he was also a man after God’s own heart. He ruled with wisdom, courage, and humility. When he made mistakes, he repented and took accountability. He faced giants, both literal and political, and led with honor. That’s the example I strive to follow in my life and leadership: standing firm in my convictions, seeking wisdom first, and leading by serving others.

Is there a book, essay, film, or something else you would recommend to someone who wants to understand your political philosophy?

Timothy Mabry (R)

The Bible.

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

Timothy Mabry (R)

Integrity, honor, courage, and commitment are essential. Without honesty, elected officials lose the trust of the people. Without courage, they avoid the hard truths. And without commitment, they fail to follow through on promises. Texans deserve leaders who serve the people, not lobbyists or political insiders, but who fight boldly for their constituents, even when it’s unpopular.

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

Timothy Mabry (R)

I bring a steady hand and a servant’s heart. I’ve led men and women through chaos as a Navy veteran and fire lieutenant, and I’ve guided businesses through crisis as a consultant. I listen to understand, not just respond. I have the courage to take heat when I need to, the integrity to do what’s right when no one’s watching, and the commitment to serve all Texans, not just the ones with power or influence.

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

Timothy Mabry (R)

The Lieutenant Governor is the President of the Texas Senate, responsible for steering the legislative agenda and maintaining order in debate. But more importantly, the role demands leadership that builds consensus, bridges political divides, and ensures that every voice urban and rural, left and right is brought to the table. It’s not about power; it’s about principled leadership and effective results for Texans.

What legacy would you like to leave?

Timothy Mabry (R)

I want my legacy to be simple: wherever I’ve gone, I’ve left things better. Whether it’s in my family, my business, my community, or public service, I want people to say, “He stood up when it mattered. He did the right thing, even when it was hard.” I want to be known as a man after God’s own heart who helped restore honor and common sense in leadership. Not for glory, but for our children and the future of Texas.

What do you perceive to be your state's greatest challenges over the next decade?

Timothy Mabry (R)

Texas is expected to double in population over the next 20 years. Our roads, water systems, and energy grid are already under pressure. If we don’t start preparing now, acquiring land, securing resources, and thinking 50 to 100 years ahead, we’ll face major breakdowns. The greatest challenge isn’t just infrastructure, it’s changing the mindset of our leaders to think generationally, not politically.

Do you believe that it’s beneficial for state legislators to have previous experience in government or politics?

Timothy Mabry (R)

No. Experience can help, but career politics is not what the founders intended. Our early leaders were farmers, tradesmen, and everyday citizens who understood service. Today, too many politicians know how to work the system for themselves. We need citizen-leaders who bring real-world experience, passion, and integrity, not more insiders addicted to power.

Do you believe it’s beneficial to build relationships with other legislators? Please explain your answer.

Timothy Mabry (R)

Absolutely. Relationships are the foundation of effective leadership. You can’t lead or influence without first building trust and understanding. It’s through relationships that we find common ground, even when we disagree. When legislators know, like, and trust one another, we’re far more likely to get things done for the people of Texas. The strongest change always begins with strong relationships.

Are you interested in running for a different political office (for example, the U.S. Congress or governor) in the future?

Timothy Mabry (R)

Right now, my focus is solely on serving Texans as their next Lieutenant Governor. I believe in being fully present where I am called. If a greater need arises and it's clear that I can serve the people more effectively in another role, I will follow where God leads. But today, I’m committed to fighting for Texas in this race.

Both sitting legislators and candidates for office hear many personal stories from the residents of their district. Is there a story that you’ve heard that you found particularly touching, memorable, or impactful?

Timothy Mabry (R)

I met a retired couple in the Hill Country who had built their dream home, only to be forced out due to rising property taxes and insurance. They lost the home they’d planned to live in for the rest of their lives and had to return to work just to stay afloat. Sadly, this isn’t an isolated story. I’ve heard it again and again. No Texan should lose their home simply because they can’t afford to pay taxes on what they already own.

What is the first bill you would introduce if elected?

Timothy Mabry (R)

While the Lieutenant Governor cannot introduce bills directly, my first legislative priority will be to co-sponsor and advance a bill to abolish property taxes and replace them with a fair consumption-based tax system. Texans should never be forced to rent their land from the government or lose their homes due to rising assessments. This will be a cornerstone of my agenda.

What organizations or individuals have endorsed your campaign?

Timothy Mabry (R)

College Station Fire Union.

What are your views on financial transparency and government accountability?

Timothy Mabry (R)

Every dollar spent by the government belongs to the people. We must have complete transparency in budgeting, responsible spending practices, and honest communication. Just like any household or business, we must budget wisely, investing in what matters, reserving for what’s next, and never hiding the truth. Accountability and transparency aren’t options, they are duties.

Would a state ballot initiative process be good or bad for your state?

Timothy Mabry (R)

In theory, a ballot initiative process empowers the people, and that’s a good thing. However, in practice, it opens the door for misinformation and manipulation by well-funded lobbyist groups that can sway public opinion and push self-serving agendas. While the idea supports democratic engagement, without safeguards and an informed electorate, it risks bypassing legislative checks and doing more harm than good. Texas must be careful not to trade representative governance for reactive policymaking.
