Campaign websitesHerrera's campaign website stated the following:Solving the Border CrisisTexas deserves secure borders. Brandon will oppose any spending bill that does not fund comprehensive border security through innovative technology, increased Border Patrol presence, and strategic infrastructure where appropriate. He will fight to reinstate the "Remain in Mexico" policy and end the abuse of the asylum system. Our communities deserve safety, security, and the rule of law.Texas's 23rd District spans 843 miles along the Texas–Mexico border, from western San Antonio to El Paso. It includes urban neighborhoods and remote rural counties. Rural voices—families, farmers, and ranchers—deserve a representative who actively shows up, listens, and fights for strong border security and a fair say in Washington.Cutting Taxes, Spending, and RegulationBrandon has taken the "No New Taxes" pledge and will fight to rein in wasteful government spending that fuels inflation. He’ll sponsor the REINS Act to ensure Congress reviews and approves major federal regulations. Texans deserve a government that works for them, not against them.Improving Veterans’ HealthcareBrandon will make sure America keeps its promise to our veterans. He will work to expand Tricare so every veteran can see the doctor of their choice, and he will have two full-time staffers, one in the district and one in Washington, dedicated to helping veterans get the care and benefits they’ve earned.Defending Gun RightsAs a strong defender of the Second Amendment, Brandon will fight for national concealed carry reciprocity and block any attempt to pass Red Flag laws or impose new firearms restrictions. He will also work to increase funding for firearm training for school staff, ensuring our children are better protected.Protecting LifeBrandon is committed to defending life at every stage. He will oppose all government funding for abortion and, on day one, sponsor the Infant Born Alive Act to protect the lives of children who survive attempted abortions.Enacting Term LimitsBrandon has signed the US Term Limits Pledge and will co-sponsor a constitutional amendment to limit members of the House to three terms and Senators to two. Now more than ever before, the need for term limits is crystal clear. Polls show that one issue that unites all Texans regardless of political affiliation is the need for congressional term limits. For many, serving in Congress has become a lifelong entitlement rather than a public service. Term limits will help improve accountability, diversify Congress, and make government work better for all Americans. It’s time to restore the citizen legislature our Founders intended.School Choice and Protecting HomeschoolingParents, not bureaucrats, should decide how their children are educated. Brandon will sponsor legislation ensuring education dollars follow the student, whether they attend public, private, or parochial school, and will defend the God-given right of parents to homeschool.Opposing Endless WarsBrandon will not support sending billions to defend foreign borders while our own remain open. He will vote to bring our troops home from places like Syria and Iraq where we have no clear national interest.Protecting Social Security and MedicareBrandon will oppose cuts to Social Security and Medicare benefits that seniors rely on. He supports expanding investment options for younger workers so these programs remain strong for future generations.Standing with President TrumpBrandon proudly endorses Donald J. Trump for President and worked on his campaign in 2016.— Brandon Herrera's campaign website (May 20, 2026)Herrera's campaign website stated the following:Solving the Border CrisisTexas deserves secure borders.
