Expand all | Collapse all

I am an independent Conservative and small business owner living in North Texas, originally from the community of Humble, Texas. I am an advocate for rural Texas and rural Texas issues running on a platform that puts the needs of rural Texans on a level platform of the population centers. I believe in a free market, secure border and strong, new, innovative ideas to old problems that should have been dealt with a long time ago.

  • Rural Texas Is Equal To Urban Centers.
  • New revenue streams in Texas such as legalized cannabis and gaming.
  • Represent All Texans With Fairness and Balance

I am focused on creating a place where true conservative principals can flourish and benefit all Texans. I believe in a balanced budget, finding new revenue streams such as legalized cannabis sales, expansion of horse racing and legalized gaming in Texas. I am also open to ensuring that we enact policy that creates jobs and protects small business owners now and in the future.

I look up to innovators and dreamers. People like our astronauts and researchers that are looking to make humanity better through innovative solutions and priorities. I also admire strong business leaders like H. Ross Perot and Ed Whitacher, Jr, both of Texas. I admire their leadership abilities and their being able to find new and innovative solutions to very complex problems.

Govern with balance and fairness for all Texans and be free from special interest groups and their influential money trail

I would like people to KNOW that I left Texas a lot better than what our two established parties have given us.

Texas State Historical Commission—Rural Revitalization Campaign

The Bible. It has changed my life entirely.

My biggest struggle has simply been keeping my mouth shut about things that bother me.

It means that he or she must come to the table with new ideas and ways to get them through the legislature. It means that they must stand firm to their convictions while being willing to adapt, improvise and overcome the challenges set out before. I believe that the leader of a state must show poise and stand strong during times of crisis—not caving into pressure from special interest groups and national party leaders.

Simple: Creating new revenue streams such as legalized gaming and recreational cannabis. One of my top priorities is that we ensure the money collected from existing industries is equally spread out to our rural areas and ensure that our hospitals, medical clinics, schools and other vital services and resources are within access to our rural residents.

I believe that the governor should have more involvement into the state budget process and allowed more input into how state funds are administered. However, I feel that he should also be limited in his power to direct those funds unless the state legislature grants him the privileges to do it outside of a session. During a crisis our Governor has far too reaching of power and has proven that it can be taken advantage of.

I think the Governor of TExas has a lot of authority over the legislature. However, in our state the legislature only meets once every two years and when the legislature is out of session the Governor has nearly complete authority to act on their own unsupervised. We cannot allow this. We need a group of bipartisan legislators available full-time to ensure that the Governor is making the best decisions for all Texans.

I love our natural resources and I believe in protecting them to the fullest.

A lack of creative revenue and overcoming establishment politics.

Q: What do Texans call OPEC?

A: Oil Pricing Evil Cartel! 

Terrorist attacks. Natural Disaster. Detailed and documented civil unrest.
