Who are you? Tell us about yourself.

I am a wife and mother, a West Pointer and combat veteran, a Harvard JD/MBA, a former oil & gas finance executive, and now a small business owner. I’m proud to be raising the next generation of Texans here at home.After graduating from the United States Military Academy at West Point, I volunteered and was ultimately selected to serve as an Explosive Ordnance Disposal officer in the U.S. Army. I led soldiers in combat and defused bombs in Afghanistan, experiences that tested my judgment, strengthened my resolve, and proved I can lead in moments of crisis.Following my service, I earned my MBA from Harvard Business School and my law degree from Harvard Law School, where I was active in the Federalist Society and the Adam Smith Society. I then moved to Houston to pursue a career in energy finance, advising public and private companies on billion-dollar mergers, acquisitions, and capital markets transactions. Today, as a small business owner, I continue to apply that experience in leadership, law, and finance to strengthen our community and fight for Texas families.

Please list below 3 key messages of your campaign. What are the main points you want voters to remember about your goals for your time in office?

Passing President Trump’s America First Agenda to tackle the issues that matter most to families by (1) keeping the border secure (2) keeping men out of women’s sports (3) unleashing the private sector to create high-paying American jobs by reducing government spending, taxes, and regulations and (4) investing in the critical infrastructure for our district (the Port and our roadways) to support continued economic growth.Make America Safe Again – As a combat veteran and a mom of two young children, I understand the importance of public safety and the risks / challenges of trying to enforce the law. I am fully committed to ensuring that our law enforcement are fully resourced and have the tools they need to protect and serve our communities.Protecting the Economic Engine of Texas – I will be the most effective champion of our Houston Port, Industry and Labor by ensuring we remain the Economic Engine of Texas and our great country so we can continue to generate jobs for the entire region. The Houston Ship Channel complex is responsible for over $1 trillion of GDP (the size of Saudi Arabia) and I am committed to making sure we have the federal support required to maintain our commercial competitiveness and will go toe-to-toe with the D.C. swamp to fight for our very special part of Texas because we are the most important district to the overall U.S. economy and play a critical role in our country’s national security.

What areas of public policy are you personally passionate about?

Limited government, liberty, strong families, and personal responsibility. I have an unparalleled public service background (deployed to Afghanistan in the Army bomb squad) and have a differentiated private sector skillset as a former oil & gas finance executive and now small business owner of a welding supply business focused on the Houston Ship Channel complex. I understand the critical industry and businesses in TX-09 and I am extremely passionate about putting my skillset to work in order to support continued American job growth.

Campaign websiteMealer's campaign website stated the following:The newly drawn TX-09 is the FUTURE OF THE REPUBLICAN PARTY and how we deliver PRESIDENT TRUMP’S AMERICA FIRST VISION

I know how to tackle extremely complex problems and I have the track record to prove it. Whether DEFUSING BOMBS in Afghanistan or fighting to take back Harris County as a political outsider, I LEAD when others RUN AWAY

I Will Use the Full Weight and Power of this Office to:FIGHT FOR PRESIDENT TRUMP’S AMERICA FIRST AGENDA – Under President Trump’s leadership, America is on the verge of a new Golden Age. Now, Congress MUST do its job and pass legislation. I am committed to joining the fight with House Republicans so we can unleash the full power of American industry and the American worker

PROTECT THE ECONOMIC ENGINE OF TEXAS – Be the fiercest advocate for crucial infrastructure projects to protect and grow the Houston Ship Channel and Port Houston—the largest petrochemical complex in the U.S. and collectively responsible for 20% of Texas GDP and thousands of jobs for Texans in our region

SECURE THE BORDER – Colony Ridge is a constant reminder of weak leadership: LEADERS FIX PROBLEMS, THEY DON’T MAKE EXCUSES for a development of over 40,000 illegal aliens. I will leverage every federal resource to support our state and local law enforcement as they combat cartel activity in our region

MAKE AMERICA SAFE AGAIN – The war on law enforcement must end and I am committed to fully supporting our federal partners to make our cities safe again – everyone has a right to be safe in their neighborhood

REDUCE FLOODING – LEAD THE DELEGATION of regional leaders to target the state and federal funds required to complete flood mitigation projects around Lake Houston. Over 7 years since Hurricane Harvey and our region is still not prepared for the next major flood

SECURE OUR ELECTIONS – Elections should be EASY TO VOTE, AND HARD TO CHEAT. As I learned firsthand during the Harris County 2022 election, our elections are often hard to vote and easy to cheat. I am not interested in bumper sticker wins—we need election integrity legislation with real teeth and safeguards— Alex Mealer's campaign website (December 3, 2025)Note: This text is quoted verbatim from the original source.
