I’m a proud gun owner and lifetime member of the NRA. I spent 20 years serving our nation abroad to keep American families safe, and the last thing I want is for them to be defenseless at home.

Every life is a precious gift from God. As a father and a Christian, I 100% support the right to life as the first and most vital right. 

The Biden-Harris Administration’s dangerous open border policies have created one of the worst humanitarian crises in our nation’s history, letting criminals, fentanyl, and human traffickers freely pour across the border and putting our communities at risk. We must support President Trump in his efforts and pass real legislation to secure the border, finish the wall, and give Border Patrol agents the resources they need to keep our families safe.

Your property is just that—yours. Washington sometimes forgets that. As your Congressman, I have protected the rights of Texans to keep, manage, and use their own property. Pet projects like the proposed high-speed rail are made by out-of-touch bureaucrats who have forgotten whose land it really is. In a time of global food shortage, we cannot allow our farmland to be destroyed, and taxpayer dollars squandered for unsustainable and unnecessary land grab projects like this.

Regulations are threatening draconian “protections.” We need someone who will stand up for us and our families against Washington. Many regulations are touted as environmental or workers’ protections are cover for big businesses and special interests looking to get an edge in the market.

Our schools should be places to equip the next generation of leaders, not run social experiments on our children. As a father with two children in public school, I’m committed to ensuring our public schools are as strong and as well-equipped to tackle the tough job of teaching our kids. 

We have seen the stark contrast between the Make America Great Again economy versus the Build Back Better economy that has been touted by the Biden-Harris Administration and legacy media. Despite efforts to convince hardworking Americans that inflation is not real, the people spoke on November 5th with a resounding roar that we will not continue down the same path.

Those who service us at home and abroad deserve our support. I have nothing but respect for those who choose to dedicate their lives to service in uniform. I was honored to work alongside many fine men and women over my 20 years in the Navy, and I have never forgotten what it takes to make the decision to serve. The personal, physical, and other sacrifices that must be made in order to serve in our law enforcement and armed forces can’t be summed up. 

Anyone who has ever run a business or even balanced a household checkbook knows this simple rule—DON’T SPEND MORE THAN YOU HAVE. It’s time Americans stopped footing the bill for Washington’s tax-and-spend policies. 

Elections are the cornerstone of our republic and the liberty of our nation. Texas has some of the most secure elections in the world, but even one case of voter fraud is one too many and other states have not held themselves to our standard of excellence.

Israel has been our strongest supporter and constant ally in the war against terrorism. As a trade, defense, and global partner, Israel has strengthened American interests on all fronts. We can’t turn our back on them now, especially after the horrific attack on their people on October 7th.
