Bring Conservative values back to local government.
Q: In what cases would you support efforts to raise property taxes? Please explain.
A: I would look at all aspects of the budget and see where items can be cut in order to save money and prevent the taxpayers further grievance. Currently Canyon ISD has the highest tax rate in the Amarillo and Canyon area at $1.28 per $100. I would work to prevent and vote against all future tax increases.
Q: What is an issue you believe has gone overlooked in your race and how will you address it if elected?

Q: Why are you the best candidate for voters to support for this position?
A: I have been fighting for conservative values since the beginning of my political career. I don't talk the talk, I walk the walk. Shortly after the working as the Regional Field Director for Trump Victory - Texas, I left my wife and kids for two months to serve the people of Georgia in the U.S. Senate run-off elections to maintain Republican control of the U.S. Senate.
