The office of Lt. Governor of Texas does not affect the US Tax code. Also, the state of Texas does not have state income tax for individuals. For the state of Texas, I am a proponent of phasing out Property Tax Revenues as currently designed and replacing me that revenue with a consumption tax. and reduced spending.

The Lt. Governor in Texas is a member of the Legislative Budget Board which sets the mission for the state's budget and the parameters by which the agencies file their Legislative Appropriations Requests. Since the Legislative Budget Board sets the standards for the agencies, one could weed out wasteful and redundant agencies. The Texas legislature may not allocate funds to spend that exceed the biennial revenue estimate which leads to spending cuts. Some examples of those spending cuts would be subsidies to renewable energy sources and Texas Enterprise Fund, both which have had a terrible return on investment for tax-payers.

Requiring businesses to provide services that violate their moral or religious beliefs flies in the face of liberty and freedom of conscience.

Medicare and Medicaid are complex and engrained into government-provided healthcare for certain individuals such as our senior citizens, children, and low-income families. With the growing population of Texas and projections of growth over the next 20 years, we need to reduce the % of budgeted revenues assigned to Medicaid and Medicare. Frankly, we need to reduce our dependency on federal government payments to Texas with strings attached and enable insurance companies to provide attractive medical programs to all Texas citizens. With less insurance regulations and a more competitive landscape, citizens can purchase affordable healthcare programs. Healthcare is not a right but rather a choice of investment by citizens. By enabling the marketplace to provide custom policies and citizens to be more active in managing their out-of -pocket cost, their insurance coverage, the cost of healthcare will go down.

On the federal level un-redacting the training manuals for the FBI would be a start. As it pertains to the state level on this issue, Texas' immediate concern would be preventing those terrorists who are using the opportunity to cross our open border with Mexico. If we do not protect our border we are allowing the movement of not only cartels who Traffick drugs, weapons and humans but also terrorists as well. Understanding the threat for our state will help us be more prepared. Training of local and state law enforcement is paramount to understanding how organizations within the larger terrorist networks operate. The need to understand the funding mechanisms that provide material support for groups such as Hamas are also critical for our state agencies to recognize.

Strongly Disagree

Serving as the president of a state wide organization I actively supported anti-bds legislation in the 85th Texas Legislature which did pass.

Strongly Agree

As a border state this particular issue is of paramount importance and we have a federal government that is derelict in its duty to protect our border. Taking actions allowed in both the US Constitution and our own state constitution, we need to take back the land we ceded along the border and instead of receiving those crossing illegally they should be should be arrested, remove non-governmental organizations (NGO) tax-exempted status, finish the real wall and declare cartels as terrorist org.

Anyone that can come through the legal process and meet the requirements.

I am a christian who believes that I am saved by the redemptive power of Jesus Christ. My walk as a christian is to be one that models Jesus, to love mercy, act justly and walk humbly. When it comes to my values, they are aligned with biblical values and love, faith, goodness, kindness, gentleness and much more, make up how I will view and respond to the world. Love and kindness, forgiveness and charity does not mean one must accept what ever culture tells you is the way to "think" or to "behave", I can disagree with someone vehemently without being harsh, attack someones character or be hateful. I believe the truth found in Jesus Christ is the most relevant aspect of living.

No, to be clear, acts of racism do still occur, but the aspect of this issue that is a threat to the domestic security of this country is "identity politics" and it is heartbreaking and sickening. Dividing us into groups in efforts to prove one race is better than another is the absolute definition of racism - which is what those that are using identity politics are participating and propagating, to makes matters worse they want to teach our children to judge each other by their skin color. Racism must be called out whenever and wherever it occurs but so must identity politics, those using identity politics have actually harmed those that truly do suffer.

Stricter environmental laws and regulations cost too many jobs and hurt the economy that does not mean however that we cannot be good stewards of this planet without going "green new deal."

Strongly Agree

Government is a framework, it is not the total of what we do or who we are. Whether national, state or local, government is to never be substitute for the people or overtake the people. It should serve as as a way to keep up infrastructure, safeguard our liberties, mobilize resources in a national disaster and provide for our common defense.

Very Conservative

I have had the opportunity by leading both state and local organizations to work on public policy over the last 14 years. I understand our Texas legislative process and I will continue to work on issues that matter to the conservative voters. Some of those issues are securing the Texas border, securing our grid( something I have worked on over the last decade) prohibiting gender modification to children (actually had model legislation for Texas in 2019) fighting human trafficking, increased election integrity, ending taxpayer funded lobbyists, no medical mandates, property taxes are just a few. One thing I must include, children need to be protected, when children are in school they are there to be taught fundamentals such as math, reading, writing, history and science. This is not a time to ask them what gender they would like to be or see how many ways we can divide them among race, sex, etc. Teach children critical thinking skills, teach them to read and love of learning and they will search out answers and be life long learners, that is the job of education. We should not be burdening teachers with new social constructs and mental health analysis as part of their classroom responsibilities.

Can we legislate public safety? It seems we could do better if we did more to understand the rights we do have with the second amendment and what that looks like for us as citizens than trying to find ways to make gun ownership more onerous for law-abiding citizen while criminals will simply ignore the restrictions.
