My father and I fled Vietnam during the Fall of Saigon with nothing but the clothes on our backs as communism destroyed our homeland. Adrift for three days without food or water, we were rescued by the U.S. Navy. America saved our lives and gave us a future I will never forget.

I repaid America the only way I knew how. I put on the uniform.
 and fought for us in three separate wars.

After the military, I spent 12 years in the Oil & Gas industry, advancing energy independence while empowering thousands of veterans to find healing and successful reintegration.

I swore an oath to defend our country from all enemies, foreign and domestic. Now I'm stepping up to save the America that saved me by facing our enemies destroying us from within.
In TX08, the two issues I hear most from families are border security, illegal immigration, inflation, energy costs, jobs, and infrastructure strained by our rapid growth.

First, border security. As a combat veteran, I will fight to finish the wall, reinstate Remain in Mexico, end catch & release, fully fund ICE and Border Patrol, cut federal dollars to sanctuary policies, and protect our communities from crime.

Second, jobs, the economy, and growth. We will unleash American energy by slashing regulations to lower fuel and grocery prices, create good-paying jobs, curb wasteful spending, and deliver federal funding for vital road expansions in booming areas in TX08, all without raising taxes.
