Q: Why did you decide to run for this office in 2022?
A: I am concerned about the longterm health of Texas and want to hold Austin accountable to our conservative values. We can't let politicians take Texas down the same dead-end road traveled by California.
Q: If elected, what will be your top three priorities in office?
A: Reduce the size and scope of government, secure the border, reduce property taxes.
Q: What is an issue you believe has gone overlooked in your race and how will you address it if elected?
A: The oil and gas industry, which provides countless good-paying jobs for Texans, is increasingly under attack from radicals who want to shut down fossil fuels. Currently, no member of the Texas Senate has experience in this vital part of our economy. If elected, I will defend Texas jobs and fight job-killing regulations that do more harm than good.
Q: Why are you the best candidate for voters to support for this position?
A: I believe we need more business-minded patriots and less professional politicians serving in government. I am committed to our conservative values and will work every day to prevent Texas from going down the same dead-end road traveled by California.
