We must cut taxes, unleash energy production, end wasteful spending, and demand fair trade—not deals that enrich our adversaries while hurting American workers. Foreign competitors who steal our intellectual property and refuse to play by the rules don't deserve access to our markets.

I stand with President Trump's America First foreign policy: no more nation-building, no more policing the world, no more sacrificing American lives for conflicts that don't threaten our homeland. We must prioritize defending America—not foreign borders while ours remains wide open. I support peace through strength: a powerful military that deters aggression without deploying into unnecessary wars. We should confront real threats like China's aggression, maintain military readiness free from woke ideology, and secure our energy independence—but only commit American forces when our nation is at stake.</li></ul></span></div></div></div></div><div class=\"panel panel-default\"><div class=\"panel-heading\" data-toggle=\"collapse\" href=\"#collapse1-389732-2026-02-19\" id=\"heading1-389732-2026-02-19\" role=\"tab\"><p class=\"panel-title\" style=\"font-size: 14px;font-weight: 600;\"><a aria-controls=\"collapse1-389732-2026-02-19\" aria-expanded=\"false\" class=\"collapsed\" data-parent=\"#accordion\" data-toggle=\"collapse\" href=\"#collapse1-389732-2026-02-19\" role=\"button\"><i class=\"fa fa-chevron-right pull-right\"></i><i class=\"fa fa-chevron-down pull-right\"></i>\t\t\t\tWhat areas of public policy are you personally passionate about?\t\t\t</a></p></div><div aria-labelledby=\"heading1-389732-2026-02-19\" class=\"panel-collapse collapse\" id=\"collapse1-389732-2026-02-19\" role=\"tabpanel\"><div class=\"panel-body\" style=\"max-height: 500px; overflow-y: scroll;\"><div class=\"answers-container\"><span style=\"font-size: 14px;\">\t\t\t\tAmerica first immigration, economic and foreign policy.\t\t\t</span></div></div></div></div><div class=\"panel panel-default\"><div class=\"panel-heading\" data-toggle=\"collapse\" href=\"#collapse2-389732-2026-02-19\" id=\"heading2-389732-2026-02-19\" role=\"tab\"><p class=\"panel-title\" style=\"font-size: 14px;font-weight: 600;\"><a aria-controls=\"collapse2-389732-2026-02-19\" aria-expanded=\"false\" class=\"collapsed\" data-parent=\"#accordion\" data-toggle=\"collapse\" href=\"#collapse2-389732-2026-02-19\" role=\"button\"><i class=\"fa fa-chevron-right pull-right\"></i><i class=\"fa fa-chevron-down pull-right\"></i>\t\t\t\tWhat organizations or individuals have endorsed your campaign?\t\t\t</a></p></div><div aria-labelledby=\"heading2-389732-2026-02-19\" class=\"panel-collapse collapse\" id=\"collapse2-389732-2026-02-19\" role=\"tabpanel\"><div class=\"panel-body\" style=\"max-height: 500px; overflow-y: scroll;\"><div class=\"answers-container\"><span style=\"font-size: 14px;\">\t\t\t\tPresident Donald Trump, Governor Greg Abbott, Turning Point Action, Speaker Mike Johnson, House Majority Whip Tom Emmer, Congressman Kieth Self, Congressman Lance Goodan, Chairman Jim Jordan, Congressman Brandon Gill, Congressman Ralph Norman , Congressman Greg Steube, Congressman Darrell Issa, House Freedom Caucus, Grassroots America We the People, Texas Home School Coalition, True Texas Project (recommended), Texans for Strong Borders, Texas Gun Rights PAC, Texas Right to Life, Texas Eagle Forum, Texans for Vaccine Choice, The Texas Family Project, Protecting Texas Children, America Principles PAC, America First Insight, Bull Moose Project, Young Republicans of Texas, Dallas County Young Republicans, Rockwall Young Republicans\t\t\t</span></div></div></div></div></div>\n<div class=\"small\" data-nosnippet=\"\"><p><i><b>Note:</b> Ballotpedia reserves the right to edit Candidate Connection survey responses.
