Briefly describe your spiritual beliefs and values.
I was raised Catholic, but walked away from the Church due to events that occurred at the Church that I attended. Recently, I have been attending a Christian church in Austin. As a father I raise my children to believe in values of life, liberty, and opportunity so they can be successful members of society.
ABOUT YOU
I support using a party caucus to nominate my party's candidate for Speaker of the Texas House of Representatives, and I pledge to vote for my party's nominee.
Yes
I voted in these primaries and general elections:
2010 General Election, 2012 General Election, 2012 Republican Primary, 2014 General Election, 2014 Republican Primary, 2016 General Election, 2016 Republican Primary
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?
Conservative
Please provide publicly available information validating your answer to the previous question.
Please review my time on the Trailer Park Show. https://www.youtube.com/user/TrailerParkRights I was also a founding member of a social media site called Be First In Media, where I worked with community leaders (Craig Bushon and Terry Littlepage) to discuss conservative issues.
What education or experience qualifies you to hold the office for which you seek election?
I have been involved in the grassroots movement since my arrival to Travis County. This involved working with other leaders to help build a platform to help spread the conservative message. I have also spoken with other members of the community to help raise awareness of conservative values in heavily minority communities through outreach events. This includes working with our County Party at local events. As a community leader, I have created events to help bring our community closer together with local law enforcement, I volunteer with local groups and the school districts that I work at and in my community.

Is there anything else you would like voters to know about you?
As a leader and activist, you get the opportunity to speak to a large group of people that elected officials don't share similar views with. This has allowed me to understand the community and the district residents that I want to represent and create a platform that would benefit all while still maintaining my conservative beliefs.

I support the death penalty.

Mandatory minimum sentencing should be required and enforced for violent crimes.
Agree
