Texas deserves secure borders. Brandon will oppose any spending bill that does not fund comprehensive border security through innovative technology, increased Border Patrol presence, and strategic infrastructure where appropriate. He will fight to reinstate the "Remain in Mexico" policy and end the abuse of the asylum system. Our communities deserve safety, security, and the rule of law.
Texas's 23rd District spans 843 miles along the Texas–Mexico border, from western San Antonio to El Paso. It includes urban neighborhoods and remote rural counties. Rural voices—families, farmers, and ranchers—deserve a representative who actively shows up, listens, and fights for strong border security and a fair say in Washington.
