Institute creative policies to enhance recruitment and retention efforts to staff our workforce vacancies, which will enable our ability to be tougher on crime and keep our communities safe.
Work with school districts to support House Bill 3 by ensuring that every school has a uniformed law enforcement officer on campus that has current and up-to-date ALERRT [Advanced Law Enforcement Rapid Response Training] certification.

Immediate administrative change, reduce crime through proactive policing and increased patrols. Street level drug interdiction, aggressive recruitment/retention, accountability and fair and equitable promotional processes. Eliminate the “Good ‘ole Boy” system.
As a former school district police chief, I have first- hand working knowledge and know the importance of safeguarding our schools and protecting our children. As sheriff, I will constantly maintain adequate staffing levels at our schools to maintain a safe learning environment for students to learn and teachers to teach.

Texas House, District 24, Republican Primary
What would you like to see prioritized in terms of Gulf protection projects?
What will be your top priority if elected?
I am proud to have Governor [Greg] Abbott’s endorsement for re-election to continue to protect and defend Texans and our freedoms. We have banned sanctuary cities in Texas, added over $6 billion to protect our southern border, passed the heartbeat bill to protect the unborn, and delivered record property tax relief.
I have always supported the Coastal Barrier System for protection against storm surge and further funding for flood mitigation along our numerous creeks and bayous. Every year I work with a coalition of coastal legislators to fight windstorm insurance increases, and this cycle will be no different.
