I am a Christian saved by Grace. My value system is deeply rooted in my faith in Jesus Christ.
When you consider your views on a wide range of issues from economic and social matters to foreign policy and immigration, which of the following best describes you overall?
Very Conservative
Please provide publicly available information validating your answer to the previous question.
I served on the Sachse City Council and helped implement E-Verify, ensuring all of our employees were in the country legally. I also helped implement conservative budget reforms like zero-based budgeting and pushed to have all city board meetings begin with a prayer and pledges of allegiance. Other public information includes endorsements by conservative groups like Texas Right to Life, Texans for Fiscal Responsibility, Young Conservatives of Texas, Texas Home School Coalition, Texas Values Action and AQ ratings by both the NRA and Texas State Rifle Association.
What is the best way to bring down unemployment?
Lower regulations and lower taxes expand economic freedom for all.
How would you promote healthcare coverage that is adequate, affordable and accessible for all?
Expanding health insurance for all is not the role of government.
What role should government play in boosting the economy?
Government should stay out of the way to boost the economy. Lower regulations and lower taxes will expand the economy.
What education or experience qualifies you to hold the office for which you seek election?
I hold a BS degree in Political Science from Texas A&M University. As for experience, I am the only candidate in the race who has held public office. I have served on meaningful city boards like the Planning & Zoning Commission and Economic Development Corporation and served on the City Council in Sachse, Texas. My last year on Council I served as Mayor Pro Tem and on the Executive Board of the regional North Central Texas Council of Governments. I have also served in the Republican Party as a Precinct Chair, three times, and as a delegate to the State Convention of the Republican Party of Texas, three times. I am ready, willing and able to serve in the Texas House.

Is there anything else you would like voters to know about you?
I am passionate about bringing conservative reforms to property taxes, ending in-state tuition for illegal immigrants, ending funding for sanctuary cities, fighting for Constitutional Carry and the lives of unborn. I have a history of advocating for and implementing conservative reforms and I'd be honored to have the opportunity to do that again, this time in the Texas House.
