My fellow Texans,
I come to you today not just as a candidate for U.S. Senate of Texas but as a proud American and a proud Texan, someone who believes in the strength of our people, the power of our values, and the promise of this great nation.
There’s a quote from President Ronald Reagan’s final speech that has always stayed with me. He said:
“A man wrote me and said: ‘You can go to live in France, but you cannot become a Frenchman. You can go to live in Germany or Turkey or Japan, but you cannot become a German, a Turk, or a Japanese. But anyone, from any corner of the Earth, can come to live in America and become an American.’”
That quote speaks to the very soul of this country because America is more than a place. It’s a promise. This nation was built on immigration, on hard work, and on the belief that freedom is not reserved for a few but open to all who are willing to reach for it. From the rugged plains of Texas to the shining cities across this land, America has always been the land of the free, the land of opportunity, of dreams, and of new beginnings. Our story is not about where you come from. It’s about where you choose to go. It’s about the courage to build, the will to work, and the faith to believe that tomorrow can be better than today.
But my friends, that promise doesn’t survive on its own. It needs to be defended. It needs to be renewed. It needs leaders who won’t forget what made this country great. That is why I am running. I am running because Texas is worth fighting for. I am running because I believe that the future of this state should be shaped by the people, not by political elites. I am running to protect our communities, to stand up for our values, and to make sure that the next generation inherits a Texas that is stronger, freer, and full of opportunity.
And as your candidate for U.S. Senate, here is where I stand on the issues that affect Texans every single day:
1. Texas Economy Built on Hard Work, Not Big Government — A strong economy is built on hard work, innovation, and opportunity, not big government. Faith in God guides our values, strength in family drives our work ethic, and pride in Texas motivates us to protect the freedoms that let hardworking Texans keep more of what they earn. I will fight to cut wasteful spending, reform the tax code, and unleash small businesses so every Texan can thrive.
2. Cost of Living and Housing — Rising rent, soaring home prices, and high property taxes are pushing too many Texans out of the communities they love. About 37.5 percent of households in Texas rent, with some cities seeing over half of residents living in rental housing. Faith in God reminds us of our responsibility to care for neighbors, strength in family drives the need for stable homes, and pride in Texas demands fair solutions. We need legislation ensuring property tax relief is passed directly to renters so housing is affordable and Texans can stay rooted in their communities.
3. Education and Jobs — Young Texans face rising college costs, student debt, and the challenge of finding stable, well-paying jobs. Faith in God inspires our commitment to future generations, strength in family fuels the drive to provide opportunity, and pride in Texas compels us to build a workforce that keeps our state competitive. We must expand access to higher education, strengthen trade and apprenticeship programs, and create job opportunities across urban and rural Texas.
These are not just talking points. These are real solutions for real Texans. They reflect the values that built this state: faith, family, hard work, and pride in who we are. But I cannot do this alone. This campaign is about all of us. It is about Texans coming together to defend our way of life, our families, and our future. I am asking for your support. I am asking for your help. Whether it is volunteering, spreading the word, or making a donation, your contribution is the fuel that drives this movement forward.
Together, we can save our great state of Texas. Together, we can preserve the values that make it strong. And together, we can ensure that Texas continues to lead this nation with courage, conviction, and faith. May God bless you. May God bless Texas. And may God bless the United States of America.
