Healthcare
Texas has the highest uninsured rate in the nation. What steps would you take as a state representative to ensure access to affordable healthcare, including mental health services, for residents who are currently uninsured or underserved in your district?
Allowing insurance companies to sell health plans across state lines to foster competition is a foundational pillar of free-market healthcare reform. By lifting these cross-state regulatory barriers, a national competitive marketplace would emerge, giving individuals the freedom to purchase cheaper, more flexible plans tailored to their specific needs. This free-market approach relies on consumer choice and corporate competition—rather than top-down government mandates and subsidies—to naturally lower health insurance premiums across the country.
Education
What measures would you support to ensure adequate state funding for public schools and accountability for taxpayer funds used in voucher or education savings account programs?
School funding relies on fiscal responsibility, parental rights, and local governance rather than throwing endless taxpayer money at a broken system. Pouring more cash into bloated school bureaucracies has failed to improve academic outcomes; we must instead fund students, not systems, by allowing educational dollars to follow children to the school of their parents’ choice. By slashing administrative waste, capping property taxes, and returning budget decisions to local communities, we protect taxpayers while focusing resources where they matter most: in the classroom with high-quality teachers.
Issues
What are the two most pressing issues unique to your district, and what specific, measurable actions would you take to address them during your term?
Securing our community requires a bold commitment to making life affordable, protecting our neighborhoods, and enforcing the rule of law at every level. Families are being squeezed out of their own homes by skyrocketing costs, making historic property tax relief an absolute necessity to provide immediate financial breathing room. True affordability is impossible without safety, which is why we must fully fund our police departments to ensure they have the training, technology, and personnel required to combat rising crime effectively.
