Election

*INCUMBENT

Texas State Representative, District 44, Republican Party

What is the most important issue facing residents and how would you address it?

What issues outside of the most important one already mentioned are a high priority for you?

Border security. We’ve increased spending at the border by billions of dollars but will have to take additional strong conservative steps if the federal government won’t act. I’ll continue to support any bill that sends much-needed resources to the border and keeps trackers and criminals out of our communities.

Property taxes. Voters approved $18 billion in property tax relief, but I’m reminded all the time, everywhere I go, that we in Austin have to keep working toward a meaningful, lasting reduction. Homeowners need to feel like they own their property and aren’t stuck renting it from the government.

The security of the southern border is the foremost issue to the residents of HD 44. Fentanyl and crime are impacting communities all over Texas. To address this issue, I am committed to ghting for border security by drafting comprehensive legislation aimed at securing our border.

I believe in empowering parents in our community. I stand with Governor Abbott and support parents’ ability to make the decisions about their child’s education. I want to ght for this in Austin to ensure that children receive the best possible education.

Closing the border is the single most important act to protect all Texans. The legislative branch of government is equal in its authority and does not need the governor to act alone. There are 42 good constitutional candidates who would pass a bill to close the border.

Taxes. There are 63 taxes that have been brought to my attention. These taxes include property tax— exist solely to separate Texans from their money. Repealing these taxes, and eliminating toll roads. Government should not be proteering from the citizenry.

The most important issue is repelling the invasion of our southern border because, without sovereignty, nothing else matters. As your next state representative, I will support any legislation that will assist in completing this mission. Additionally, I will work to eliminate incentives that drive illegal aliens to cross our border.

The other three major issues I would like to address are the empowerment of parents (passing school choice), cutting government spending (Texas can do its part to help the ination problem), and passing term limits for all oceholders because a comfortable representative is an ineective representative.
