My Priorities are Republican Priorities.

​

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, tax them out of their homes, or rule their families.

 

HD-5 Pocketbook Priorities

 

Real relief. Real limits. Real accountability.

 

House District 5 is made up of families, retirees, veterans, and teachers 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 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 — primary residence only.

 

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/Pay

​

Stop punishing the people who manage 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.

 

Federal actions that exceed those limits should be opposed, refused, and nullified.

 

Unconstitutional acts are void.

​

Rights Belong to the People

​

Government does not grant rights.

It exists to protect God-given, unalienable rights:

 

Life. Liberty. Property.

Including the unborn.

 

The State is not sovereign over the family, the church, or the individual.

​

Parents Direct Education

​

Parents — not bureaucrats — direct their children’s education.

 

• Real educational freedom;

• No federal or state mandates, to include funding strings;

• Government out of private and home education;

• Full financial transparency in state and local school spending.

 

Defend Biblical Family Structure

​

• There are two sexes — law should reflect reality,

• Secure the border to stop human and drug trafficking,

• Make it easier for parents to protect their children from sexualized content and ideological indoctrination, by statutorily punishing those who engage in sexual vices at children's expense.

​​​

100% Pro-Life

Equal protection for all human life, from conception to a natural death.

​

The Second Amendment

Our rights are not given, they are inherent, and by Constitutional limitation are not to be regulated in any way.

 

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.​
