Campaign website
Corley's campaign website stated the following:
Defending West Texas Energy and Jobs
Energy is the backbone of the West Texas economy. President Trump understands that American energy independence is crucial—and Jason Corley will continue that legacy in Congress. He will fight tirelessly against federal regulations that kill drilling, raise costs, and push unreliable mandates on rural communities.
With firsthand experience in the oil and gas sector, Jason knows what these policies mean for real people—not just politicians in D.C.
Jason will:
- Oppose any future Democrat Presidential Administration’s anti-energy agenda
- Protect private mineral rights
- Support expanded production, pipelines, refining capacity, and American energy independence
- Block federal rules that raise costs on farmers, ranchers, and small businesses
In West Texas, energy policy is jobs policy—and Jason Corley will fight for both.
Securing the Border and Ending Illegal Immigration
Jason Corley will work to ensure that President Trump’s border policies outlast his second term in office. Texas is ground zero for the border crisis, and Jason believes we cannot have a secure nation without a secure border. Cartel-driven trafficking, fentanyl, and illegal immigration threaten our communities every day.
Jason supports:
- Finishing and strengthening the border wall
- Supporting law enforcement, Border Patrol, and Texas DPS
- Ending sanctuary city policies
- Deporting illegal immigrants
- Stopping all taxpayer-funded benefits for those who broke the law to come here
Jason will stand with Governor Abbott and President Trump to secure the border once and for all.
Cutting Federal Spending and Stopping Inflation
Washington’s reckless spending is crushing families with higher prices, higher interest rates, and higher taxes. As County Commissioner, Jason Corley built a record of cutting waste and protecting taxpayers—redirecting funds where they were needed.
He’ll take that same discipline to Congress.
Jason will fight to:
- Cut bloated federal spending
- Reduce the national debt
- Audit wasteful programs
- Oppose tax increases on working families and small businesses
- Restore fiscal sanity in Washington
The federal government should live within its means—just like West Texas families do.
Defending the Second Amendment
West Texans value their constitutional freedoms, and Jason will never back down in defense of the Second Amendment.
He will:
- Oppose red flag laws
- Oppose any new federal gun restrictions
- Support national concealed-carry reciprocity
- Ensure law-abiding citizens can protect themselves and their families
Jason believes a free citizenry must always have the right to keep and bear arms.
Empowering Parents and Strengthening Education
Parents—not bureaucrats, and not radicals—should have the ultimate say in their children’s education. Jason stands firmly for school choice, curriculum transparency, and protecting children from radical ideological agendas.
He supports:
- Expanding school choice and education savings accounts (ESAs)
- Banning gender ideology and CRT in K–12 classrooms
- Protecting girls’ sports
- Restoring discipline, basics, and accountability in public schools
Jason’s goal is simple: a world-class education grounded in West Texas values.
Protecting Faith, Family, and Traditional Values
Jason Corley is a Conservative Christian who believes America’s greatness begins with strong morals, strong families, strong communities, and strong faith. He will defend religious liberty and work to uphold moral and constitutional principles in Washington.
Jason is committed to:
- Protecting life
- Opposing taxpayer funding for abortion
- Defending religious freedom
- Opposing federal attacks on traditional values
- Supporting policies that strengthen families and local communities
West Texas deserves a representative who shares its values—and has the courage to defend them.
Standing With Law Enforcement and Fighting CrimeJason believes in law and order. Safe communities require well-supported law enforcement and tough consequences for criminals. He strongly supports our police, sheriffs, and first responders.
Jason will:
- Back the blue, not defund them
- Crack down on drug traffickers and cartel violence
- Strengthen penalties for fentanyl dealers
- Advocate for more rural law enforcement resources
As your Congressman, Jason will be the best friend that our sheriffs and other law enforcement officials have ever had. Families deserve safety and security, and Jason will work every day to protect it.
America First Foreign Policy
President Trump has proved that America is strongest when we put our own citizens first—secure borders, strong military, no more endless wars, peace through strength, and a foreign policy built around American interests.
Jason Corley believes deeply in that America First vision.
In Congress, Jason will support a foreign policy that:
- Keeps America out of endless foreign wars
- Ensures U.S. tax dollars benefit American citizens, not foreign governments
- Demands our allies pay their fair share
- Confronts China’s economic and military aggression
- Strengthens our military readiness and border security before giving a single dollar overseas
- Prioritizes American workers, American energy, and American families
Just like President Trump, Jason believes we should rebuild this country—not bankroll other nations while our own communities struggle.

Noteworthy events
Lubbock County Commissioner Precinct 2 seat dispute (2025)
On December 19, 2025, Judge Patrick Pirtle ruled in Corley's favor, reinstating him to his seat on the Lubbock County Commissioner's Court.[7][8]
On December 2, Corley filed to run in the 2026 race for U.S. House Texas District 19. On December 8, Lubbock County Judge Curtis Parrish removed Corley from his seat as Lubbock County Commissioner of Precinct 2, stating Corley violated the Texas Constitution's Resign-to-run law.[9] As of December 2025, Article XVI, Section 65 of the Texas constitution stated that if certain officeholders, including county commissioners, announce their candidacy for any Texas election or federal election with more than one year and 30 days remaining in their current term in office, the announcement acts as an automatic resignation of the current office.[10] During a December 8, 2025, commissioners court meeting, Parrish swore in Mark Meurer to fill the Precinct 2 vacancy.[11] Corley filed a lawsuit against Meurer, appealing his removal from office.[9] Corley's legal team's filing stated that his announcement did not trigger the automatic resignation provision of the state constitution, and therefore Meurer's appointment was unlawful.[12]
