My Priorities Are YOUR Priorities
Principles Before Party
These principles do not come from a political party.
They come from the Texas Constitution, the United States Constitution, and the principles the Founders put in writing.
Government exists to serve the People — not manage them, not tax them out of their homes, and not rule their families.
House District 5 Pocketbook Priorities
Real Relief. Real Limits. Real Accountability.
House District 5 is made up of families, retirees, veterans, teachers, and small landowners who work hard, own their homes, and expect government to live within its means.
Rising property taxes and rising health care costs are not accidents.
They are the direct result of unchecked spending and misplaced priorities.
These policies deliver permanent relief, not temporary gimmicks.
End Property Taxes on Homes
Ownership Means Ownership
If you live in your home, you should not be taxed out of it.
Permanent property taxes turn ownership into government rent.
100% Homestead Exemption on the Primary Residence
Applies to homes, not:
-
Investors
-
Rentals
-
Corporations or LLCs
-
Businesses
-
Second homes
No loopholes. No games.
Homes for Texans — not portfolios.
Fix Teacher Health Care and Pay
Stop Punishing the People Who Run the Classroom
Teachers educate our children, yet many are forced to absorb crushing health insurance costs while being underpaid.
Right now:
-
The State pays $75/month
-
Districts pay $150/month minimum
-
Teachers pay the rest
That is backwards.
My position:
-
Increase the State’s contribution
-
Cut administrative bloat first
-
Protect teacher pay and classrooms
Freeze Spending. Cut the Budget.
Discipline Comes First
Texas does not have a revenue problem.
It has a spending problem.
-
Freeze baseline spending
-
Cut bloated bureaucracies
-
End gimmicks and temporary “relief”
Permanent relief requires permanent discipline.
Texas First — Constitutional Limits Matter
Texas retains the right of self-government.
The federal government has limited, delegated powers — no more.
Likewise, the State of Texas exists only by and through its Constitution.
It's powers are defined, limited, and constrained by that written charter.
Any act — federal or state — that exceeds constitutional authority is void and of no force.
Unconstitutional acts do not become legitimate through repetition, funding, or political convenience.
They should be opposed, refused, and nullified.
The Constitution is not a suggestion.
It is the law.
Parents Direct Education

-
Real educational freedom

No federal or state mandates, including funding strings

Government out of private and home education

Full financial transparency in state and local school spending
Defend the Biblical Family Structure

-
Statutorily punish those who exploit children through sexual vices
100% Pro-Life
Equal protection for all human life, from conception to natural death.
The Second Amendment
Our rights are inherent, not granted by government, and by constitutional limitation are not to be regulated.
-
No red-flag laws
-
No surveillance
-
No disarmament without full due process
-
No federal infringements
The right to keep and bear arms shall not be infringed.
