In their own words

Who are you? Tell us about yourself.

I am a Texas attorney of 30 years, raised in Canyon, BA from Texas Tech, JD from UT Law. I’ve served as an assistant city attorney, a prosecutor, and a former Constitutional, law professor. I have worked the last 20 years as an organizational development specialist and a federal consultant. As such, I have brought Fortune 50 companies and federal agencies into compliance under federal mandate. I've worked to draft and implement federal legislation in all 50 states. I’ve worked with state bar associations, set up master courts, reduced welfare expenditures and raised state revenues. I currently own the premier legal AI implementation consulting firm supported by CLIO cloud computing and vLex.

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?

I will work to make Austin affordable again, by lowering the cost of housing and eliminating property taxes which continue to rise while the quality of education in Texas continues to plummet. I will lower the cost of healthcare by forcing out the ridiculous federally mandated regulations covering illegals, misgendering and non life affirming “healthcare.” I will ensure AI implementation creates high paying jobs and stimulates Austin’s economy while respecting our water, energy and land. AI can slash government costs and taxes making life in Austin truly affordable again. AI will upend the corrupt, local patriarchal system in favor of accountability, transparency and lightning speed efficiency.Janet is a passionate, life-long, child advocate. While in Washington DC, as the Director of the National Institute for Child Support Enforcement, Janet turned child support in Texas into a state profit center, cleared family court backlogs, and stopped wasteful welfare expenditures.

​Janet was one of Austin’s first child advocates who actually went to the border. Janet fought the sex trafficking of unaccompanied minors, built a State Bar liaison program for Spanish-speaking advocates, and helped Texas senators in Washington DC to close dangerous loopholes which empowered the cartels.

​Janet marches with Moms for Liberty for school choice, vouchers, parental rights, moral values, gender safety — and against the mutilation of minors.I champion the Constitution and oppose judges and prosecutors who do not. I support the rule of law and stand strong for federal, state, and local law enforcement. With the Elon and Vance, I’ll work to create a secure, digital voter ID system to protect our most basic right as an American citizen, our vote. ​As a federal consultant, I brought Fortune 50 companies and Federal agencies alike into compliance under federal mandate. I have stopped fraud, waste, and abuse, and modernized broken systems. I recently testified before the SBA Senate committee, exposing billions in SBA COVID relief fraud under the prior administration. I will work to reduce the national debt by downsizing the bloated, post Covid agencies and corrupt non profits.

What areas of public policy are you personally passionate about?

Reducing the cost and size and inefficiency, fraud, corruption and waste in government. Protecting the Constitution, one nation under God, the rule of law, freedom of speech, freedom of religion, citizen voting, and the right to own property, create wealth and prosper. I’m a life long pro child advocate. I fought for 30 years to reverse Roe. As Director of the National Institute for Child Support Enforcement, I turned child support in Texas into a state profit center, cleared family court backlogs, and stopped wasteful welfare fraud. I fought sex trafficking of unaccompanied minors, drafted bills to help Texas senators close dangerous cartel loopholes. I march with Moms for Liberty; for school choice, parental control, gender safety.
