Infrastructure
What is your approach to federal infrastructure investment, and how would you prioritize funding for energy, transportation, flood mitigation, and resilience needs in your district?
Federal infrastructure investments should focus on projects that improve public safety and strengthen our economy. I will work with local municipalities and state officials to address the infrastructure needs of Texas 38, prioritizing transportation improvements, flood mitigation, and resilient infrastructure. Additionally, we must invest in American industry by expanding energy infrastructure, supporting domestic energy production, and creating good-paying American jobs. Infrastructure should serve the communities it represents and ensure that Texas 38 remains competitive, secure, and economically strong.
Inflation
If elected to office, what will you do to address rising costs, especially with regard to groceries, childcare, and housing?
With over two decades of combined experience in real estate, my wife, Laura, and I understand the challenges families are facing. Rising housing costs, groceries, and childcare are downstream effects of broader economic and tax policies. As a mortgage banker, I’ve seen how burdensome regulations and property taxes make homeownership harder to afford. My background in oil and gas has shown me how American energy dominance helps lower the cost of producing and transporting everyday goods, including groceries. I will fight wasteful spending, reduce unnecessary regulations, support American energy dominance, and pursue tax policies that make housing and everyday life more affordable for working families.
Immigration
What is your position on federal immigration enforcement and detention policies? What specific changes, if any, would you support to how those policies are implemented?
Federal immigration enforcement is essential to protecting our nation’s sovereignty, security, and rule of law. A secure border requires more than physical barriers; it requires consistent enforcement of the laws that govern who enters and remains in our nation. I will support policies that empower federal agencies to enforce immigration laws, detain individuals who enter or remain in the U.S. unlawfully, and prioritize the removal of those who pose a threat to our communities. A nation’s laws only have meaning when enforced. When enforcement is abandoned, sovereignty is weakened, public trust declines, and law-abiding Americans are left to bear the consequences.
Voting
What changes, if any, to current laws related to voter registration, voter ID, and mail-in ballots would you support and why?
Securing our elections starts with strengthening our voter registration process and protecting the integrity of our ballots once they are cast. Non-citizens have been found on voter rolls across the country, and some have even voted in past elections. These instances undermine confidence in our elections and highlight the need for stronger safeguards to ensure only eligible voters are participating. We must protect the integrity of every ballot and ensure our election systems are secure, transparent, and accountable. Every legal vote should count, and every American should have confidence that our elections are secure and administered with integrity.
