Jay Fondren
For nearly twenty years, I have advocated for Veterans, first responders, and their families. I have helped thousands navigate the VA’s bureaucracy, using my experience to cut through red tape and fight for those who sacrificed for our freedoms. I have counseled Warriors battling PTSD, pointing them toward healing through faith and community. I’ve mentored men and boys to be leaders in their homes, churches, and communities.
These experiences have shown me both the power of private, faith-driven compassion and the destructive weight of government overreach.
My beliefs are simple and deeply held: shrink government, empower the individual, protect constitutional liberties, and return authority to families, churches, and local communities.
My top priorities are securing the border and restoring economic freedom. Cartel crime, fentanyl trafficking, and weak enforcement in sanctuary states and cities are spilling into Texas and straining our communities. I’ll fight to finish the wall, mandate E-Verify, strengthen coordination, and disrupt cartel pipelines. I’ll also cut federal regulations and government overreach, defend parental rights, and unleash American energy to lower costs. As a Veteran who’s battled federal bureaucracy, I know limited government protects families.
