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?
America First:
Secure the Border & Enforce Immigration Laws
I stand firmly with President Donald J. Trump and will work to pass President Trump’s executive actions into permanent law. Congress must help President Trump fully secure the southern border, finish the wall, end catch-and-release permanently, and deport illegal aliens who violate our laws. I will fight to crush the cartels, ensure they remain designated as foreign terrorist organizations, and end the chaos threatening Texas communities once and for all.Tackle Inflation:
Making District 22 and Texas Affordable for Families
I am committed to rebuilding an economy that puts American workers, families, and taxpayers first. While Democrats played political games and shut down the government without delivering results, I will focus on real solutions to tackle inflation and advance policies that lower the cost of groceries, gas, housing, and everyday necessities. I support lower taxes, fewer regulations, and a pro-growth agenda that strengthens the American economy and makes life more affordable for Texas families.Energy Independence:
Making America Prosperous Through Energy Independence
I support President Trump’s agenda to unleash Texas oil, gas, and nuclear energy to restore full U.S. energy dominance. I will fight to end any remaining Biden anti-energy policies and focus on legislation that expands domestic production and cuts burdensome regulations that drive up gas prices for families. A strong energy sector means a strong America—with more jobs and greater national security.
What areas of public policy are you personally passionate about?
I am deeply passionate about public policy that protects families, strengthens communities, and upholds our constitutional freedoms. I believe in securing our nation’s borders and enforcing immigration laws to protect public safety. I’m committed to advancing economic policies that lower the cost of living for families and promote prosperity through lower taxes, fewer regulations, and American energy independence. I also care intensely about empowering parents in education and protecting children from harmful ideologies, supporting law enforcement to keep neighborhoods safe, and investing in critical infrastructure that improves mobility and disaster resilience in our communities.
