A: If elected, my top three prioities would be the reduction of property taxes, limit government over reaching regualtions and restrictions and protecting Texas citizens' constituional rights, including gun right protections. Also I support gaming and the legalization of THC which would be a an immense revenue generator to be used for the reduction of property taxes and other burdensome governmental levies.
Q: What is an issue you believe has gone overlooked in your race and how will you address it if elected?

A: I believe I am the best candidate in that I have no prior political office experience, however, as a criminal defense attorney, I do have a working knowledge of the poliotical and the justice system ( or which I refer to as the "injustice" system. I, like former President Trump, believe what is needed can be done; it just takes a powerful personality that answers to the public not those thst wish to regulate our lives to the maximum.
