Campaign websiteTijerina's campaign website stated the following:ON THE ISSUESBorder Security & Immigration ReformSouth Texas lives the reality of the border every single day — this isn’t a talking point, it’s our home.Tano Tijerina believes we must secure the border, enforce the law, and restore order to a broken system. That means stopping illegal crossings, supporting law enforcement, and ensuring immigration happens legally and responsibly.At the same time, Tano understands that immigration reform must be practical and bipartisan. Many South Texas families came here the right way — and they deserve a system that respects that process.Washington has failed on this issue for decades. Tano will bring real-world experience and fight for solutions that actually work.Lowering Taxes & Cutting D.C. Red TapeTano believes government should work for the people not the other way around.As Webb County Judge, he lowered property taxes five times in ten years while still delivering results. He knows how to manage taxpayer dollars responsibly and get more done with less.In Congress, Tano will fight to:Lower taxes for working families and small businessesCut burdensome federal regulationsStop wasteful spending and bring fiscal responsibility back to WashingtonIt’s simple, families should keep more of what they earn.Putting the District First — Above PoliticsFor too long, Washington has been focused on politics instead of people.Tano believes leadership means representing everyone — not just one party. As County Judge, he worked for Republicans, Democrats, and independents alike, and he’ll bring that same mindset to Congress.This campaign is about South Texas not political games.Tano will always put the people of TX-28 first.Making D.C. More Like TexasWashington is broken because it’s out of touch.Tano believes we need to bring Texas values to D.C: accountability, hard work, faith, and common sense.That means:Less bureaucracy, more actionMore accountability, less politicsLeadership that delivers results — not excusesTano isn’t going to Washington to become part of the system — he’s going to fix it.Supporting CryptoTano supports innovation and believes America should lead the world in emerging technologies like cryptocurrency.He will fight for:Clear, fair regulations that encourage growthProtecting financial freedom and privacyKeeping innovation in the United States — not pushing it overseasCrypto represents opportunity — and South Texas should be part of that future.PRO-INNOVATION. PRO–SOUTH TEXAS.South Texas has the potential to become a major hub for innovation and job creation.Laredo is one of the top three inland ports in America; a critical gateway for trade and commerce. With the right leadership, we can build on that strength and turn South Texas into a center for technology, logistics, and economic growth.But innovation should never come at the cost of our water, our land, or our rural way of life. As the technology boom brings a wave of data centers across Texas, Tano knows these projects can drain scarce water, consume massive amounts of power, and swallow up the land our rural communities depend on.Real leadership means getting all the facts first and putting South Texas families ahead of outside interests. As Webb County Judge, Tano has stood up to protect our land and water, insisting that any project prove it will strengthen our communities, not strain them. He will bring that same fight to Congress: we can lead in technology and still refuse to trade away the water, land, and affordable power our children will inherit.Tano will fight to:Attract new industries and high-paying jobs that put South Texans firstInvest in infrastructure and workforce development so our people fill these jobsPosition South Texas as a leader in AI, tech, and logisticsProtect our water, land, and rural communities from data centers and developments that take more than they giveStand with ratepayers so families and small businesses aren't stuck paying for big tech's power demandsDemand transparency and the full facts before any project moves forwardThe future is being built now and South Texas should lead it, on our terms.Foreign Policy: America First, Peace Through StrengthTano believes in an America First foreign policy rooted in strength, security, and common sense.That means:Standing with our allies, including IsraelConfronting hostile regimes that threaten American securitySecuring our borders and protecting critical infrastructure, including our portsPeace is achieved through strength — and weakness invites danger.Tano will support policies that keep America safe while protecting our interests at home and abroad.— Tano Tijerina's campaign website (August 19, 2026)Note: This text is quoted verbatim from the original source.

WATCH: I'm not a career politician. I'm a leader who delivers. As Webb County Judge I cut property taxes five times, delivered millions in utility relief, and expanded meals for our seniors, and I'm running for Congress to keep making life more affordable for South Texas. pic.twitter.com/vLyPxkiPpB— Judge Tano Tijerina (@JudgeTano) August 11, 2026

Last night’s launch was powerful.
