As a father and fiscal conservative, I’ll fight corruption and cut waste in Austin by mandating forensic audits, capping taxes at inflation, and requiring voter approval for big spending. No more misleading taxes or pet projects—let’s redirect savings to real relief for families and businesses.Empower parents in education: Boost state funding to 45% of school budgets, ensure unbiased curricula with oversight, support school choice and focus on workforce training for Texas’s tech future. Raise teacher pay without raising taxes, transparency and efficiency first.Secure communities and freedoms: Hold rogue DAs accountable, fund police training and mental health, uphold Second Amendment rights with checks, and protect life from conception with health exceptions. Decriminalize small cannabis possession for personal liberty and local control.

I’m passionate about fiscal accountability to expose waste and lower taxes, education reform for parental rights and practical skills, and community safety through balanced criminal justice and mental health support. As a stay-at-home dad, family protections drive my fight against government overreach.
