| Collapse all
- America First:
Secure the Border & Enforce Immigration Laws
I stand firmly with President Donald J. Trump and will work to pass President Trump’s executive actions into permanent law. Congress must help President Trump fully secure the southern border, finish the wall, end catch-and-release permanently, and deport illegal aliens who violate our laws. I will fight to crush the cartels, ensure they remain designated as foreign terrorist organizations, and end the chaos threatening Texas communities once and for all. - Tackle Inflation: Making District 22 and Texas Affordable for Families I am committed to rebuilding an economy that puts American workers, families, and taxpayers first. While Democrats played political games and shut down the government without delivering results, I will focus on real solutions to tackle inflation and advance policies that lower the cost of groceries, gas, housing, and everyday necessities. I support lower taxes, fewer regulations, and a pro-growth agenda that strengthens the American economy and makes life more affordable for Texas families.
- Energy Independence: Making America Prosperous Through Energy Independence I support President Trump’s agenda to unleash Texas oil, gas, and nuclear energy to restore full U.S. energy dominance. I will fight to end any remaining Biden anti-energy policies and focus on legislation that expands domestic production and cuts burdensome regulations that drive up gas prices for families. A strong energy sector means a strong America—with more jobs and greater national security.
Speaker of the House Mike Johnson
Governor Greg Abbott

Fund & Support Law Enforcement

Focusing On
Critical Infrastructure: Mobility, Flood Mitigation, & Finishing SH-99 Through Brazoria, Fort Bend & Harris Counties
Trever is committed to delivering the critical infrastructure District 22 needs to grow and stay safe. He will support studying real solutions to improve mobility in the greater Houston area while working to promote flood-mitigation systems that protect neighborhoods from major storms and natural disasters. A top priority is finishing and expanding SH-99 through Brazoria, Fort Bend & Harris Counties. Trever understands this is a vital project for reducing congestion and ensuring long-term connectivity for families and small businesses across the eastern portion of District 22.
