Who are you? Tell us about yourself.

I am a 7th-generation Texan and self-employed small business owner who loves my God, country, and family. With deep roots in Texas, I profoundly appreciate our state's unique history and values. My experience as a small business owner has equipped me with a firsthand understanding of the challenges and opportunities facing our local businesses and economy.

I am deeply committed to constitutional conservatism, advocating for limited government, individual liberty, and fiscal responsibility. My involvement in local community initiatives reflects my dedication to grassroots engagement and effective leadership.

My vision for our state and nation is one where the voices of ordinary citizens are heard and respected. I believe in upholding the rights and freedoms that define us as Texans and Americans, ensuring a prosperous and secure future for all.

Driven by a desire to serve and make a meaningful difference, I am committed to representing the true spirit of Texas – resilient, independent, and forward-looking.

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?

YOU HAVE A VOICE: In a political landscape where many feel unheard, my campaign dedicates itself to ensuring your voice is heard and influential. As a 7th-generation Texan with deep roots in our community, I understand the issues that matter to you. My commitment is to bring your concerns to the forefront, advocating for policies that reflect our collective needs and values. I pledge to represent the people through active listening and grassroots engagement, ensuring that your voice drives the legislative process. Together, we can ensure that government decisions are made 'of the people, by the people, for the people', restoring faith in our Constitutional Republic.SELF-GOVERNANCE: I advocate for your fundamental liberties - medical liberty, parental rights, school choice, and the right to bear arms. Fighting for minimal government interference, I advocate for your health, education, and self-defense autonomy. This commitment means less bureaucracy, more personal choice, and upholding our constitutional rights. Ensuring these liberties are not just preserved but expanded, my focus is on empowering individuals and families in Texas to make decisions that are best for them, reflecting the core values of our state and nation.ACCOUNTABILITY: We must restore fiscal and ethical accountability in government. Addressing our $33 trillion debt, I oppose sending funds abroad for foreign interests at your expense. My stance is firm against unnecessary foreign wars that do not serve American interests. I advocate for the FairTax, replacing the income tax, outlawing insider trading in politics, and enforcing term limits. These measures will go a long way to ensuring other issues like election integrity, securing our borders, and returning government control to the American people become a reality.

What areas of public policy are you personally passionate about?

I am deeply passionate about various public policy areas, primarily fiscal responsibility, which involves advocating for prudent financial management to address our national debt and ensure long-term economic stability. A core part of my policy drive is upholding constitutional rights, including gun rights, free speech, and religious freedom. These are non-negotiable tenets that define our nation's character.

Another critical focus is on enhancing government transparency and accountability. I am a strong proponent of implementing term limits and outlawing insider trading in Congress. These steps are vital for restoring public trust in our political system. Additionally, I advocate for the FairTax system to replace the current income tax structure, simplifying our tax code and making it more equitable.

National security and effective border control are also high on my agenda. It's crucial to have robust policies to secure our borders and maintain our sovereignty. This agenda includes a firm stance against unnecessary foreign wars and entanglements that do not serve American interests.

Lastly, I am committed to educational liberty, particularly advocating for school choice. Parents should be free to choose the educational paths that best suit their needs, ensuring a more personalized and effective learning experience.

What is the first historical event that happened in your lifetime that you remember? How old were you at the time?

Several significant events have happened in my lifetime – the end of the Cold War, the fall of the Soviet Union, the Berlin Wall coming down, the Desert Storm operation, and the scandal involving President Clinton. But the one event that sticks with me is 9/11.

At the time, amidst a surge of patriotism and a unified call to protect our nation, the government enacted the Patriot Act. While the intention was to strengthen national security, this legislation also marked a significant overreach, infringing upon the constitutional liberties it aimed to protect.

The event and its aftermath were a turning point, reminding us of the delicate balance between ensuring security and upholding the freedoms we cherish as Americans.

It reinforced my belief in the importance of vigilance in guarding our liberties, even in times of crisis.

What was your very first job? How long did you have it?

My first job was at Loews Theater, where I worked during the summer months between my Sophomore and Junior Years of high school. This position lasted for a few months, offering me a valuable initial experience in the working world. It was an opportunity that taught me the importance of teamwork, customer service, and responsibility early on in my career journey.

Do you believe that it's beneficial for representatives to have previous experience in government or politics?

No, representatives don't have to have previous experience in government or politics. While some see experience as valuable, other prerequisites exist for effective service.

The current state of our political system suggests that relying solely on experienced politicians has not served our best interests. The system, as it stands, is corrupt, and bringing in individuals from diverse backgrounds can introduce fresh perspectives and new approaches to problem-solving.

Our country faces critical challenges, and continuing with the status quo, where career politicians dominate the landscape, might not be the best way forward. We need representatives who deeply connect with the everyday realities of their constituents and who can bring innovative ideas to fix the existing political framework that many see as corrupt.

Actual change often comes from outside the established system. It's about commitment, understanding the issues, and the determination to serve the people effectively, not just political experience.

We've been looking for experience in our representatives for decades, but it's time to consider new criteria, focusing more on integrity, fresh ideas, and a genuine connection with the community.

What do you perceive to be the United States' greatest challenges as a nation over the next decade?

Over the next decade, one of the United States' most significant challenges is our escalating national debt, particularly to foreign entities. This debt not only undermines our economic stability but also compromises our sovereignty. Being indebted to foreign powers can influence our foreign policy and national security decisions.

Furthermore, the government's ability to print money at will fuels this debt. It leads to irresponsible spending, weakening our financial integrity and burdening future generations.

Another critical challenge is the invasion at our southern border. The ongoing influx of individuals, including a significant number of military-aged men, poses a security risk. This invasion requires immediate and decisive action.

Without proper border control, we risk our citizens' safety and our nation's sovereignty.

It's essential to address these issues promptly and effectively to ensure the continued prosperity and security of the United States.

What are your thoughts on term limits?

I firmly believe in term limits as a critical measure to combat government corruption. As stated on my campaign website, career politicians have increasingly turned to self-serving agendas, often losing touch with the constituents they are supposed to represent.

The accumulation of power and influence over extended periods in office has led to a culture where promises made during elections are forgotten once in power. Term limits would disrupt this cycle, ensuring fresh perspectives and preventing the entrenchment of power that breeds corruption.

Term limits are not just a theoretical solution but a practical requirement to restore accountability and ensure our elected officials remain faithful servants of the people.

By implementing term limits, we can reduce the likelihood of behind-the-scenes dealings and the influence of special interests, bringing the focus back to serving the public interest. This aligns with the spirit of our Constitutional Republic, where the government derives its powers from the consent of the governed.

My commitment to fighting corruption includes advocating for term limits, as this is a crucial step toward maintaining the integrity of our republican institutions.

Do you believe that compromise is necessary or desirable for policymaking?

Negotiations in policymaking can be valuable, but we must approach it discerningly.

There should be no compromise on essential principles such as limiting government growth, controlling spending, and upholding the Constitution. These are non-negotiable tenets that guide my decision-making process.

I am open to dialogue and negotiation for issues that fall outside these core principles. Each non-essential matter will be evaluated on its own merits, considering the best interests of my constituents and the broader impact on our community and nation.

My primary role as a representative is to protect my constituents from legislation that could harm their liberty or well-being. This means standing firm against bills not aligning with our fundamental values while remaining open to constructive discussions on other policy areas where Congress can achieve practical and reasonable compromises.

Campaign website

Ellis’s campaign website stated the following:

ECONOMIC PROSPERITY

Jameson Ellis believes in driving the economic prosperity of TX-2 through innovative tax reform and energy policies. By advocating for the FairTax and repealing the 16th Amendment, Jameson will fight for a fairer tax system, boosting local businesses and individual financial health throughout the district.

His commitment to harnessing American energy resonates deeply with constituents, promising job growth and energy affordability in a region pivotal to the nation’s energy sector.

These strategies are central to Jameson’s vision for a thriving, economically robust America without increasing tax burdens.

SECURE THE BORDER

Jameson Ellis is deeply concerned about the unprecedented influx of over 8 million illegal aliens since President Biden took office, viewing it as a glaring failure of the federal government to uphold its constitutional duty outlined in Article IV Section 4.

This surge directly threatens the safety and well-being of communities in East Montgomery County and NE Harris County, including New Caney and Huffman, TX. Jameson notes the challenges in Colony Ridge, Plum Grove, and the Colonias bordering Harris, Montgomery, and Liberty Counties.

To address this, Jameson proposes a comprehensive plan:

A moratorium on immigration to reassess and strengthen border policies.

A lockdown of ports of entry to prevent illegal crossings.

Discontinuation of welfare, healthcare, and benefits for illegal aliens, removing incentives for unlawful entry.

Ending the ‘catch and release’ policy to ensure that those who enter illegally are not allowed to remain in the country.

Deploying more boots on the ground to actively repel and prevent illegal border crossings.

Jameson emphasizes that these measures are crucial for restoring order, ensuring the safety of TX-2 constituents, and upholding the integrity of America’s borders.

GUN RIGHTS

Jameson Ellis strongly supports the Second Amendment, recognizing its crucial role in the context of the American Revolution. Jameson understands that an armed populace was vital to securing America’s independence and protecting against government tyranny.

He emphasizes that the Second Amendment restricts the federal government, not citizens.

The issue of mass shootings, while grave, should not be politicized to erode gun rights. Jameson argues that addressing such tragedies falls within local and state jurisdiction, not federal.

He stresses the importance of adhering to the rule of law, noting that additional gun control laws, including red flag laws and regulations on ammunition or firearm licenses, are violations of the Second Amendment.

While advocating for gun training, Jameson believes in a free-market approach without making it mandatory, preserving citizens’ rights without unnecessary government intervention.

MEDICAL FREEDOM

Jameson advocates for a healthcare system driven by free-market principles, opposing government-run healthcare. This principle stems from the belief that competition and consumer choice are crucial to improving quality and reducing costs in healthcare.

He also stands firm on medical liberty, particularly against forced vaccinations. Jameson argues that medical decisions are between individuals and their healthcare providers and should not mandated by the government.

This stance is rooted in a commitment to personal freedom and the belief that medical choice is a fundamental right for preserving individual autonomy and privacy.

PARENTAL RIGHTS

Jameson is a staunch advocate for unregulated school choice, emphasizing that funding should follow the child without government conditions.

This approach empowers parents to choose the best educational path for their children, ensuring educational liberty and diverse opportunities.

He upholds that while parents have the fundamental right to raise their children as they see fit, this does not extend to abusive practices or making irreversible decisions for the child like gender transitioning.

Jameson proposes abolishing the U.S. Department of Education to allow states and local communities to tailor education to their needs, enhancing diversity and innovation while eliminating federal overreach.

MILITARY & VETERANS

Jameson is deeply concerned about the impact of the woke agenda and DEI policies on military morale and recruitment. He believes that rewriting history and teaching anti-American sentiments diminishes patriotism, which is crucial for a strong military.

For veterans, Jameson recognizes the high rates of suicide and the inadequacies of the VA system. He advocates for removing red flag systems that unfairly target veterans and supports providing access to alternative treatments like neurofeedback therapy.

Ensuring that veterans’ rights and liberties are respected and protected is his top priority, particularly given their sacrifices.

TERM LIMITS

Jameson advocates for implementing term limits in Congress through a Constitutional amendment. He believes this change is critical for preventing the long-term entrenchment of politicians and fostering a healthier democratic process.

Enacting term limits encourages fresh perspectives in legislative decision-making and curb the influence of career politicians.

This reform aims to enhance the effectiveness of Congress by ensuring continual renewal and responsiveness to the changing needs of the American people—Jameson views term limits as a step toward more dynamic and accountable governance.

Jameson has signed the Term Limits Pledge

RESTORE ACCOUNTABILITY

Jameson’s commitment to restoring accountability in Congress includes a strong stance on outlawing members from owning and trading stocks while in office. He sees this as a crucial step in eliminating conflicts of interest and maintaining the integrity of legislative decisions.

By preventing members of Congress from engaging in stock transactions, Jameson aims to ensure that elected officials focus solely on the interests and welfare of their constituents rather than personal financial gain.

This policy is part of a broader effort to foster transparency and trust in government operations.

Additionally, Jameson supports repealing the 17th Amendment to return the appointment of U.S. Senators to the state legislatures.

Doing this would make senators more accountable to state interests, as interacting with state officials is more accessible for constituents than interacting with federal officials is.

LEGISLATIVE TRANSPARENCY

Jameson’s commitment to legislative transparency focuses on enacting single-subject bills in Congress. This approach ensures each bill addresses only one main issue, increasing clarity and accountability.

It benefits constituents in TX-2 and across America by making legislative processes more understandable and transparent, allowing citizens to track and engage with specific policies easily.

Single-subject bills also prevent the practice of ‘hidden’ riders or unrelated amendments, fostering honest and straightforward governance.

By advocating for legislative transparency, Jameson aims to enhance public trust and ensure that legislation genuinely reflects the will and needs of the people.[3]

Who are you? Tell us about yourself.

Jameson Ellis is an accomplished entrepreneur, public speaker, and family man. Like many hardworking Texans, his faith in Jesus Christ has always seen him through every obstacle.

As a lifelong Texan and a resident of Conroe, Jameson comes from a first responder and military family, and so he has witnessed first-hand the hardships and sacrifices made by those that serve and protect.

Believing that God gave him a specific set of gifts, talents, and abilities, Jameson teamed up with a police officer to start a nonprofit called Bridge The Blue, where he’s fighting to bridge the gap between law enforcement and community.

Jameson and his wife of 13 years, Donna, attend Hope City where they serve as Connect Group Coaches and have helped dozens of couples strengthen both their faith and marriages. Together, they started One Nation Project, a charity whose heartbeat is to unite people through missions and education to preserve our rights to life, liberty, and the pursuit of happiness.

After watching our government leaders sit on their hands as law enforcement across America fell victim to countless attacks in 2020, Jameson had enough.

Jameson proudly stands behind President Trump’s Save America agenda and will work tirelessly to make sure we have a limited federal republican form of government that is of the people, by the people, and for the people.

Is there a book, essay, film, or something else you would recommend to someone who wants to understand your political philosophy?

The Bible and the Foundations of Freedom series by David Barton

What characteristics or principles are most important for an elected official?

Someone with a great understanding of the U.S. Constitution and its foundations in Judeo-Christian values. They need to understand that it is those values alone that recognize our unalienable rights come from God and not from government; it is the foundation of liberty.

Furthermore, we need someone that is willing to stand up for those values with conviction. A servant leader; someone that will lead from the front and not manage from behind.

What qualities do you possess that you believe would make you a successful officeholder?

I try to think critically, objectively, creatively, and always begin with the end in mind. I value principle over policy and people over politics. I'm transparent, walk in integrity, and always do the right thing regardless of expediency or cost. I do not give up and I fight until the bitter end. I believe the Bible is divinely inspired, infallible, and that it is the foundation on which our constitution was founded.

What do you believe are the core responsibilities for someone elected to this office?

To be loyal to America first and to their constituents second. Furthermore, constituents must be represented in Washington with the utmost integrity and commitment. Principle over policy and people over politics.

What legacy would you like to leave?

Knowing that I fought to preserve our rights to life, liberty, and the pursuit of happiness for generations to come.

What is the first historical event that happened in your lifetime that you remember? How old were you at the time?

I'll never forget that hot, muggy September morning. I was 19 years old, getting ready for my morning shift at Chick-Fil-A, and listening to P.O.D.'s latest hit song, Alive, on the radio. I had just finished brushing my teeth when I heard my mom in the living room. I ran downstairs, and my mom was staring at the television in disbelief.

The first plane had hit the North Tower of the World Trade Center.

We sat there, watching the news... listening... praying.

My dad, a Captain with the Houston Fire Department, was not home at the time. He was at work and had just begun a 24-hour shift a few hours earlier.

And then right there, on the air, the second plane crashed into the South Tower of the World Trade Center.

September 11, 2001, is a date that is forever engraved into the uttermost of my mind... and it will always be a day I will never forget.

What is your favorite book? Why?

Besides the Bible, I would say Start With Why by Simon Sinek. It has helped me be a better communicator, leader, and vision-caster. It has allowed me to consult business owners in their marketing to see results that exceeded expectations.

If you could be any fictional character, who would you want to be?

Captain Jean-Luc Picard. He was a great diplomat but never sacrificed his principles or values.

What was the last song that got stuck in your head?

The Patriot by Topher

What is something that has been a struggle in your life?

Knowing when to give up and quit.

Do you believe that it's beneficial for representatives to have previous experience in government or politics?

It depends on the individual and the results of their experience. Unfortunately, evidence shows that conservative voting records on policy decline drastically after 8 years in office. This is why I believe we must set term limits and end career politics.

What do you perceive to be the United States' greatest challenges as a nation over the next decade?

Our sovereignty as a nation, the integrity of our elections, and the fight against a globalist/Marxist/socialist agenda that seeks to defund, disarm, and dismantle our law enforcement.

In other words, there's a battle raging for the heart and soul of America, and we have to win the culture war.

If we don't end the indoctrination going on inside our classrooms, we'll only be one generation away from a re-imagining of the U.S. Constitution... a re-imagining of America.

Ronald Reagan said it best when he said:

"Freedom is never more than one generation away from extinction. We didn't pass it to our children in the bloodstream. It must be fought for, protected, and handed on for them to do the same."

Do you believe that two years is the right term length for representatives?

Absolutely. Furthermore, I fully support term limits of 4 terms, which is 8 years. After that, voting records begin to decline drastically.

Do you believe that compromise is necessary or desirable for policymaking?

Maybe (and I say that lightly) on a local or state level, but never on a federal level. The federal government exists only to protect the unalienable God-given rights of the people.

I believe that compromise is often a shortcut taken so that parties don’t have to engage in great negotiation.

There’s an old saying that tells us that the person who offers to meet you in the middle is a poor judge of distance.

Cutthroat negotiators know to ask for way more than they want so that they can offer to compromise, meet you in the middle, split the difference, and end up where they wanted to be all along.

In a book I was reading, it talked about the “black shoe–brown shoe” analogy, that went something like this...

I think I should wear black shoes with a suit, and you think I should wear brown shoes. We compromise, and I wear one black and one brown.

The Constitution says that all bills for raising revenue must originate in the House. What role would this power play in your priorities if elected?

My goal is to propose bills and grants that help provide more funding to police departments and agencies at all levels. However, that funding must come with reasoning and mandates to where the funds go.

Campaign website

Ellis' campaign website stated the following:

REFUND THE POLICE

Law enforcement represents the thin blue line between order and chaos. I will fight to make sure our police departments have more funding available for consistent training and continuing education.

STRENGTHEN NATIONAL DEFENSE

I will support and defend the Constitution of the United States against all enemies, foreign and domestic. This is why I will fight to see ANTIFA & BLM, inc. labeled as domestic terrorist organizations.

FIGHT SOCIALISM

The hard-working American people are overtaxed and businesses are immorally regulated. I will fight to save free-market capitalism in order to preserve our right to life, liberty, and the pursuit of happiness.

SECURE THE BORDER

The border wall must be finished and the “catch and release” program terminated. We must do more to protect our citizens from dangerous drug cartels, human traffickers, and illegal immigrants.

PROTECT THE UNBORN

I stand against abortion and will defend against the taking of innocent life. The right to life is our most basic of unalienable God-given rights. The government did not give us that right, and they cannot legally take it away.

SAFEGUARD OUR GUNS

According to the 2nd amendment, you have a right to defend your life, liberty, and property. This is why I stand against any and all forms of gun control, including “Red Flag” laws.

PRESERVE OUR GOD-GIVEN RIGHTS

An accurate reading of the constitution reflects a belief in God and absolute truth. And it is these absolute truths that give us our rights, freedoms, and liberty. I will fight to protect the rights of all people to practice their faith freely without government interference.

COMBAT VOTER FRAUD

After the theft of the 2020 election, I will fight to make sure yo
