What speci c policies or initiatives do you propose to address the issues you’ve identi ed? I have funded over $6.5 million in law enforcement projects to combat crime in Houston. I have never taken a single vote to increase decit spending, which has led to hyperin ation. And this year, my bill [House Resolution] 7377, which will lower energy prices, passed the House and Senate.
U.S. House, District 38
What is your top priority, if elected?
In the 42 years I have been alive, this is the worst in ation I have ever seen. My top priority is making life more aordable again for everyday Houstonians, Texans and Americans, which starts by unleashing American energy.

First things rst: elect a Speaker (on the rst try) and pass a budget (which the 118th has been unable to do). After that, we need to address health care for women, children, veterans and the elderly, reduce housing costs and x the border situation.
Codify Roe and protect physicians. Our health care quality is suering because of the state abortion ban. Extend veteran health care coverage to problems that arise beyond the ve-year separation of duty. Reduce housing costs by freeing up supply with tax incentives, such as tax breaks for widows and widowers. Fund the border.

Guest Speaker Chad Robichaux – USMC Force Recon Veteran In 2021, Chad notably led the e ort to rescue Americans, our allies, and vulnerable individuals stranded during the US withdrawal from Afghanistan. What began as a personal quest to rescue a long-time friend and Afghan interpreter evolved into a full-edged humanitarian operation. Under Chad’s leadership, he and his team have successfully evacuated over 17,000 people from the hands of the Taliban. Since Afghanistan Chad has continued to organize and lead humanitarian e orts around the world.
