I do not stand with AIPAC. I stand with Texas. I stand with the United States of America.
I believe in alliances built on respect, trust, and shared values. The United States and Israel have a long history together, one built on faith, freedom, and a fight for survival in the face of adversity. Israel has been a key partner in the Middle East, providing intelligence, technology, and strength in a region filled with danger. I will always respect Israel’s right to defend itself and its people. I will always believe that peace and stability are worth fighting for.
That is the good side of this relationship, the part built on mutual respect and partnership between two democracies that value liberty and faith. But what I will not support is the manipulation and political power that has come to surround it. That is where AIPAC has crossed the line.
AIPAC once stood for strengthening the relationship between the United States and Israel through diplomacy and understanding. Over time, it became another powerful lobbying group that uses money and influence to pressure politicians, control debates, and silence anyone who questions its agenda. It no longer represents cooperation between allies. It represents control, and control has no place in a free democracy.
I believe the American people, not lobbyists, should decide the direction of our foreign policy. When organizations like AIPAC spend millions of dollars to influence elections and intimidate candidates, they distort our democracy. That kind of power does not serve Israel, it does not serve America, and it certainly does not serve the people of Texas.
I have no problem standing with any ally who shares our values. But I will never stand with any group that puts its interests above the will of the American people. AIPAC’s influence in Washington is exactly what I am running to change because I am not here to play their game. I am here to end it.
We can stand with our allies while staying true to our own people. We can support Israel’s right to exist and defend itself without letting lobbyists dictate what American leaders say or do. I will always put America first. That means fighting for Texans who work hard, raise families, and believe that freedom is worth protecting.
We are a nation that leads through integrity, not intimidation. We do not sell our values for donations or bend to political pressure. That is what makes America different. That is what makes Texas proud.
So yes, I respect Israel, but I reject the political control of AIPAC. I stand for an America that serves its people, not the powerful. I stand for a Texas that speaks with courage, not fear.
Because at the end of the day, freedom is not for sale. Freedom is earned, protected, and lived by those who believe in it. And that is exactly what I intend to do.
Freedom lives here. Freedom thrives here. Freedom is Texas.
