AMERICA FIRSTWe have a once-in-a-generation chance to create real, lasting change in Washington that will make life better, safer, and happier under President Trump’s leadership. I have stood shoulder-to-shoulder with President Trump and the America First movement to secure our borders, defend our Constitution, and put American workers and families first. In Congress, I will never apologize for prioritizing Texas and America before global elites and career politicians.

I have the experience and a proven America First conservative record to help President Trump finish the job.

PROTECT OUR WAY OF LIFEEvery day, America and Americans are under attack from those who want to destroy what we hold dear. That’s why Texas needs a fighter and protector in Washington. From the courtroom to the Department of Justice, I have spent my life defending what makes this country great — freedom, safety, and opportunity. I will stand up to the Democrats, stop Washington’s overreach, and protect the Texas way of life from those who want to tear it down.

I’ve pushed back against the Biden Administration’s woke policies and led investigations into higher education’s DEI practices. I’ve defended the religious-liberty rights of our military, representing 36 members of the United States Air Force in their lawsuit against the Biden Administration’s COVID-19 vaccine mandates. I’ve defended the First Amendment rights of high school track and field athletes who spoke out against boys in girls’ sports and the government’s Title IX violations and were sidelined.

We must fight to protect the American way of life and ensure our country continues to be a “shining city upon a hill.”

PROTECT CHILDRENS & FAMILIESStrong families are the foundation of a strong nation. At the Department of Justice, I led the fight against human trafficking — protecting the most vulnerable and standing up for victims. As Director of the Office of Victims of Crime under President Trump, I oversaw nearly $9 billion and awarded over $2.5 billion in 2020 to support victims of crime. My office provided the largest federal funding to combat domestic human trafficking.

As a mother, Christian, and conservative, I will defend parental rights, protect children from radical agendas, and keep Texas a stronghold for faith, freedom, and traditional values. I brought a lawsuit all the way to the Supreme Court when a school district attempted to indoctrinate 12-year-old children into their radical gender agenda, telling them they must

be transgender. I will continue to fight for parents — not the government — overseeing the upbringing of their children.

STAND UP FOR GIRLS IN SPORTSThe Democrats have weaponized Title IX — a law created to protect girls. Today, girls are being pressured to stay silent rather than speak the biological, biblical, and legal truth. I will continue to fight for the next generation of girls.

At the America First Policy Institute, I led the legal fight to keep boys out of girls’ sports — taking on the Biden Administration’s radical Title IX agenda in court. As a mom and constitutional conservative, I know what’s at stake and won’t back down from defending fairness, truth, and opportunity for the next generation. Working with Riley Gaines, I sued the state of Oregon after it allowed a biological male athlete to compete in girls’ track and field. Based on our lawsuit, the U.S. Department of Education launched an investigation into the state.

STOP THE LAWFARE & WEAPONIZATION OF GOVERNMENTOur country must return to law and order. I will continue fighting to end lawfare and government weaponization.

We’ve seen the Democrats use the courts as a tool of political warfare, weaponizing institutions to target their opponents. To fight back, I sued Manhattan District Attorney Alvin Bragg, exposing his office’s connections with senior Biden officials in his unprecedented prosecution of President Trump. I also defended President Trump’s rights all the way to the Supreme Court and fought the Biden Administration’s unconstitutional executive orders — from election interference efforts to COVID-19 vaccine mandates on our military and citizens.

I’ve fought alongside President Trump and Attorney General Pam Bondi, pushing back at the Democrat’s efforts to turn the law and courts against Americans; I’ll continue to do so.

ELECTION INTEGRITYFree and fair elections are the cornerstone of our Republic. I’ve fought to protect them and I’ll continue this fight in Congress.

In 2021, I helped draft Texas’s landmark election integrity law, which drew national attention when Democrats fled the state in protest. At America First Policy Institute, I led lawsuits across the nation to protect election integrity leading up to the 2024 election. I fought against the Biden Administration’s unconstitutional executive order weaponizing federal agencies to boost Democrat turnout. I sued the Arizona Secretary of State for trying

to block election monitoring at drop boxes and polling places, violating citizens’ First Amendment rights. I also led an investigation into ActBlue for fraudulent donations and defended election integrity in Fulton County, Georgia.

Since President Trump took office, I have worked to further his efforts to secure our elections. After his Executive Order 14248 to safeguard elections, I launched a multi-phase accountability campaign against state officials. I will continue to stand with him to protect American elections.

UNLEASH AMERICAN ENERGYReliable, abundant, and affordable energy is the lifeblood of our economy. Growing up in Houston, where my father worked in the oil and gas industry, I know how critical energy independence is for our state and nation.

Under President Trump, the U.S. became the world’s leading producer of oil and natural gas. Now, we must end crippling restrictions and unleash American energy to make America the dominant energy producer in the world and protect our national security.

SECURE THE BORDERI will fight to finish President Trump’s wall, end catch-and-release, and restore law and order at our southern border. Under Biden’s open-border policies, we’ve seen record illegal immigration, crime, human trafficking, and deadly drugs pouring into our communities.

As Director of the Office of Victims of Crime at the Department of Justice under President Trump, I oversaw nearly $9 billion and directed record funding to fight human trafficking. I’ve met families whose children were murdered by illegal immigrants. I know the true cost of an open border for Texans and our Nation.

I have led lawsuits pushing back against Biden’s failed immigration policies. In Congress, I will continue to fight to end the border crisis and put Texans’ safety first.
