Hear from the candidate
1. Please tell voters about yourself.
- Bachelor’s degree, many technical certifications
- Former Texas Real Estate Commissioner
- Texas-licensed Mediator and Arbitrator

2. Briefly describe your top policy priorities.
The only way for us to keep America First is by keeping Texas 1st. My policy priorities are: Secure Elections, Secure Border, Solve Water Crisis, and Mobilize youth—secure Trump Executive orders by putting them into law. Further, we must eliminate Radical Islamification of our country.
3. What should Congress be doing to rein in inflation and/or stabilize/boost the economy?
Put America First, Slash Wasteful spending, unleash American Energy, secure the border, and get our fiscal house in order without raising taxes. Our National Debt is a ticking time bomb of over $35 trillion and it’s crushing families. I have worked to balance State Agency budgets as a former Texas Real Estate Commissioner. I have successfully found fraud waste and abuse in the private and public sector. We must identity more fraud waste and abuse to remove. I recently talked to a veteran family who found $14,000 dollars of catheter supplies charged to their Tricare account.
4. What should Congress be doing to reform immigration laws?
Make Immigration laws efficient and effective. Eliminate illegal aliens ability to have birthright citizenship, regarding new immigrants who intentionally are caught defrauding the American Tax payer we need to create the Divest, Denaturalize and deport act. This would make it clear those who steal from taxpayers will have assets seized, lose their citizenship and be deported.
5. At a time when the White House is asserting more control over national security and spending without Congress’ input, how would you handle disagreements over the division of power?
Our Founding fathers made a great government system, and we must ensure that stays intact. Trumps Actions in Venezuela have been constitutional and have focused on putting America First.
6. The past year has brought tremendous uncertainty to many Americans surrounding rising health insurance premiums and lack of access to medical care near their homes. What do you believe Congress should be doing to make health care affordable and accessible to residents in your state?
As father of 5 and a business owner we have to put Americans first, eliminate improper use by stopping illegal aliens from accessing the same benefits as citizens and stop those people from abusing our systems. Make VA benefits clear and concise so that Veterans and Doctors can know they will receive care and how much payment will be given to doctors for services.
