Kenneth Hyde

Strongly Agree

As a committed Christian and grassroots Republican running for Governor, I believe taxpayer dollars—at the federal, state, or local level—should never fund organizations that perform abortions, including Planned Parenthood. Funds should prioritize true healthcare needs, family support, and alternatives that protect life, without subsidizing abortion services (even indirectly through programs like Title X). Texas families deserve better use of their hard-earned money.

Elective abortion should never be allowed. As a committed Christian, I believe life begins at conception and is sacred. Texas must fully protect the unborn with no exceptions for elective procedures. In rare cases threatening the mother's life, doctors should save both lives through treatment, not intentional abortion. Support mothers via crisis pregnancy centers, adoption, healthcare, and childcare—building a true culture of life.

Strongly Agree

Human life is sacred and deserves full legal protection from the moment of conception until natural death. As a committed Christian running for Governor, I will champion policies that defend the unborn, support mothers and families, and uphold the dignity of every Texan at all stages of life—no exceptions, no compromises. Texas must lead as a true pro-life state.

Strongly Agree

Human life begins at conception—whether naturally or through artificial methods like IVF—and deserves full legal protection from purposeful destruction. As a committed Christian running for Governor, I believe every embryo is a unique human being with inherent dignity. Texas must safeguard these lives, while supporting ethical alternatives and families pursuing parenthood. No exceptions for intentional destruction.

Strongly Agree

As Governor, I will fully support the enforcement of the Comstock Act without apology. Chemical abortions bypass oversight, endanger women, and end innocent lives. Enforcing it saves unborn children and protects mothers. Texas leads on life—no compromises.

No state minimum wage—free market sets fair pay. Good companies pay competitively to attract talent. Mandates kill entry-level jobs, hurt small businesses, raise prices, and drive automation. As Governor, I will veto any increase.

Strongly Agree

Free enterprise and private property are essential to prosperity. As Governor, I'll defend property rights, eliminate property taxes via the Freedom Fund, cut regulations, and unleash new industries. Texas succeeds when government stays out and individuals thrive.

Top 4 priorities to eliminate government waste: Eliminate property taxes via Freedom Fund (Cultivate Texas Act & Texas Freedom Act revenues). Full audit/overhaul of state agencies—cut redundants, sunset non-essentials. End corporate welfare and crony subsidies. Implement zero-based budgeting statewide.

"Separation of church and state" means government cannot establish an official religion, force religious practice, or favor one faith over others. It protects religious freedom—letting churches thrive without state interference and keeping government neutral. As a Christian Governor, I'll defend this: no state religion, but full protection for faith in public life, prayer, and religious expression. No secular censorship of belief.

Strongly Disagree

No Texan—individual or business—should be forced by government to provide services that violate their deeply held moral or religious beliefs. This is core religious freedom and free speech protection. As Governor, I'll defend conscience rights fiercely: no mandates compelling bakers, florists, photographers, or anyone to participate in events or messages against their faith. Compelled speech or action is tyranny. Texas stands for liberty.

C) Medicaid and Medicare should remain available, but no other taxpayer-funded programs are necessary. Medicaid and Medicare should remain for the needy and seniors. No new taxpayer-funded expansions. As Governor, I'll block any "Medicaid for All," cut waste in current programs, and lower costs through free-market reforms: competition, tort reform, price transparency. Affordability via freedom fund—not more government.

Strongly Disagree

Government should never create or maintain databases tracking citizens' ongoing medical illnesses for "economic burden" assessment. This violates privacy, invites abuse, and opens the door to rationing care, discrimination, or worse. Medical records stay between patients and doctors—period. As Governor, I'll fight any such overreach fiercely. Texans' health data is none of government's business.

Strongly Agree

The CCP poses severe military, cyber, IP, and economic threats to America. My Texas Sovereignty Acts will ban CCP-linked entities from owning Texas land or infrastructure. Texas won't fund or host our enemies—we'll lead against CCP influence.

Yes, the U.S.-Israel relationship is vital. Israel is America's strongest Middle East ally: shared democratic values, critical intelligence/counterterrorism cooperation, joint tech/military innovation, and a strategic counter to Iran and threats. As Governor, I'll support Texas-Israel ties—economic, security, faith-based—without apology. Texas stands with Israel.

Strongly Disagree

Sanctuary cities undermine the rule of law, shield criminal illegal aliens, and endanger Texans. As Governor, I'll ban sanctuary policies statewide, fully cooperate with ICE, deport criminals, and secure our border. My Texas Sovereignty Acts will protect our state from illegal immigration chaos. Texas welcomes legal immigrants—no sanctuary for lawbreakers.

Strongly Agree

The U.S. Department of Education is unconstitutional federal overreach that bureaucratizes schools, pushes ideological agendas, and wastes billions. As Governor, I'll fight to eliminate it entirely—return full control to states, communities, and parents. Texas will lead with school choice, local accountability, and funding via the Cultivate Texas Act—not Washington mandates. Education thrives with freedom, not federal control.

Strongly Agree

Foreign governments must be prohibited from funding Texas education. No propaganda or influence from hostile regimes like China or Qatar in our schools. My Texas Sovereignty & Influence Shield Act and Texas Sovereignty Defense Act will block foreign entities from owning land/infrastructure—and extend to banning their funding in education. Texas curriculum for Texans only.

Strongly Agree

Parents—not government—have the fundamental right and duty to direct their child's health, education, and upbringing. As Governor, I'll defend parental rights fiercely: expand true school choice, block mandates overriding parental consent on medical/educational decisions, and ensure no state interference in family choices. Texas empowers parents, not bureaucrats.

Strongly Agree

Attempts to physically or socially transition a child to the opposite sex—through puberty blockers, hormones, surgeries, or social affirmation mandates—constitute child abuse. Children cannot consent to irreversible, experimental procedures that sterilize and harm healthy bodies. As Governor, I'll ban these practices in Texas, protect kids from this ideology, and defend parental rights while ensuring real care for confused youth. No child abuse in the name of "gender affirmation."

Strongly Agree

Marriage is a God-ordained, sacred union of one man and one woman—rooted in Scripture and natural law. No government has authority to redefine it. As Governor, I'll defend traditional marriage, protect religious freedom for faith-based ceremonies, and oppose any mandates forcing recognition of other definitions. Texas honors God's design.

Agree

I support limited gambling expansion via my Texas Freedom Act: four Texas-owned coastal destination resorts (Galveston, Corpus Christi, South Padre, Port Aransas) with regulated casinos and sports betting. Ironclad oversight, addiction programs—revenue funds infrastructure, seawalls, schools, and property tax cuts. Keeps Texas dollars in Texas, creates jobs—no broad unchecked expansion.

I am a committed Christian. I believe the Bible is the inspired Word of God, Jesus Christ is the Son of God and only way to salvation, and life is sacred from conception. My core values: faith, family, freedom, personal responsibility, and the sanctity of life. These guide everything—my campaign, policies, and service to Texas. God first, Texas strong.

Strongly Disagree

Voter photo ID is essential to secure elections and prevent fraud. Texas already requires it—and it's common-sense protection that doesn't suppress legitimate votes (free IDs available for those in need). As Governor, I'll strengthen voter ID laws, ensure clean rolls, and fight any attempt to weaken election integrity. Only citizens vote in Texas—once.

Strongly Disagree

Reparations based on race are unconstitutional, divisive, and unfair—punishing people today for sins of the past while ignoring individual responsibility. No Texan should be taxed or benefited solely because of skin color. As Governor, I'll oppose any race-based reparations or policies. True justice means equality under the law, opportunity for all, and unity—not government-mandated racial discrimination. Texas judges people by character and merit, not race.

Strongly Agree

Biological males should not participate in women's sports or enter women's private spaces (bathrooms, locker rooms, sororities, shelters, prisons). Fairness, safety, and privacy for biological women must be protected. As Governor, I'll ban males from female sports and spaces—no exceptions, no compromises. Texas stands for truth, biology, and women's rights.

Strongly Disagree

Man-made climate change is not a proven crisis requiring urgent action. Models have failed; extremes are natural. As Governor, I'll reject green mandates, protect affordable energy (oil/gas/nuclear), oppose carbon taxes. Texas leads with energy dominance—not fear-driven regulation.

Nuclear energy. Most reliable for growing demand: 93% capacity, 24/7 baseload, weather-independent. Proven, scalable. As Governor, I'll push new nuclear to power Texas reliably—AI, industry, homes. Texas leads with nuclear.

Very Conservative

My views—pro-life without exceptions, traditional marriage, strong borders, no minimum wage mandates, school choice, parental rights, religious liberty, Second Amendment absolutism, energy dominance, eliminating property taxes, rejecting climate alarmism, and standing firmly with Israel—are rooted in faith, freedom, and limited government. Texas needs bold, unapologetic conservative leadership. Very Conservative. No compromises.

No. I have never been accused of, charged with, or penalized for sexual misconduct in any civil or criminal court—or in any other setting. My record is clean, and I have always conducted myself with integrity and respect toward others. As a committed Christian and family man running for Governor, I hold myself to the highest moral standards. Texas deserves leaders of unquestionable character.

No. I have never been convicted of a felony. My record is clean—no felony charges, trials, or convictions ever. As a committed Christian family man and grassroots candidate for Governor, I have always lived with integrity and respect for the law. Texas deserves leaders of unquestionable character.

Protect innocent citizens first—punish the guilty swiftly to deter crime. Deliver fair, proportional justice with equal treatment under law. Rehabilitate non-violent offenders where possible. Uphold personal responsibility and due process. As Governor: Back the blue, tough on violent crime, secure border, end revolving-door bail. For outdated laws (cannabis), focus on freedom via Cultivate Texas Act. Justice protects, punishes, restores—Texas safe and free.

Strongly Agree

Government has a clear responsibility to protect children from sexual exploitation online—predators, pornography, grooming, and trafficking. As Governor, I'll push strict laws: require age verification for adult sites, hold Big Tech accountable for harmful content, fund enforcement against child exploitation, and ban drag shows/sexual content targeting minors. Protect innocence fiercely. No compromises.

Strongly Agree

Sharia law—or any foreign/religious system—must never be incorporated into U.S. or Texas law. Our laws rest on the Constitution and equality. My Texas Sovereignty & Influence Shield Act and Texas Sovereignty Defense Act ensure no foreign influence. Texas upholds only American law.

No new restrictions. Second Amendment: shall not be infringed. Current laws (felons, domestic abusers, mentally adjudicated) are enough. No red flags without due process, no bans, no registries. As Governor, expand constitutional carry, protect gun makers. Public safety: prosecute criminals—not disarm citizens. Texas defends 2A fully.
