I am a member of The Fraternal Order of Investigators and the Educational Chair for The Inland Northwest Private Investigators Association.
I am a Christian Conservative and hold those values dear.
- I'm dedicated to passing the Texas Privacy Act. Since California passed their privacy law in 2018, residents from the other 49 states are not allowed to remove their personal data from databases and sites that are utilized by the general public and debt collectors. This must change.
- I believe in repealing Texas residential property tax and replacing it with a solid plan for revenue. Doing this could lower rents which is something Texans need right now.
- House district 150 has been greatly neglected by our previous two state representatives. We have no time for old management, we need things, and I will not ignore constituents as the others have for so many years.
We can never do enough for our education system and legislation has not focused on this as it should. While I am pro-school choice, I'm also against the voucher system. This was tried in failed in the Houston area with widespread fraud. The accreditation of charter schools is a priority if the voucher system is to be tried again.
I would like to follow Andy Kahan's example. He's the Director of Victim Services and Advocacy at Crime Stoppers Houston. He fights for victims of violent crime in Harris County quite often exposing malfunctions of news outlets, our Harris County judges, and the recent extremely high crime spike. His high-profile position allows him to have a voice that is heard nationwide.
With my extensive experience in working fraud insurance cases and finding fugitives from justice, I see how our personal information is sucked into the universe of the internet and is used to hack into your accounts or steal your identity. I am determined to pass the Texas Privacy Act giving Texans the right to remove their information from databases and websites.
Having an alcoholic parent was a struggle for me and my brother. Our father was a functioning alcoholic and an engineer in the oil industry. He was such a bad alcoholic that he went to work intoxicated and his work was so important to his company that they let him. His faint footprint of love was lost with us as we continued to encourage him to try sobriety.
Texans have no privacy rights, not from the state nor globally, and I mean globally to be a company or site outside of the United States where personal data is compiled and sold as a commodity. Since Calfornia passed their privacy act in 2018, the other 49 state's residents have been refused when they attempted to remove their personal information from databases that cater to professionals and also to the general public. We must have constitutional privacy.
Getting our public school students to overcome the learning issues as presented by their teachers.
Increasing funding to all public schools and increasing the perks to attract new teachers.
There is also a video of the caseworker who came to take possession of the infants on a hot summer day arguing with the grandmother while the infants were locked inside a hot car with no windows cracked and the car was not running.
The infant's parents were both wrongfully charged with child abuse and neglect. A forensic examination determined the break was done at birth and the Harris County DA's office has so far refused to review the doctor's reports. Also, the same doctors were not allowed to testify to the injuries of the infants
before the grand jury. That's suppressing exculpatory evidence done by a Harris County prosecutor.
(Don't forget to duck because some people will throw things at you.)
