OUR FUTURE. ↗ (opens electevanhunt.com at this heading)
I took an oath to defend the Constitution from all enemies, foreign and domestic. I know that most 3rd District residents believe in the Constitution, the rule of law, and the power of the people, not political extremes or partisan games.
Our democratic institutions are the foundation of what makes America great. I will stand up for free and fair elections, an independent judiciary, checks and balances in our government, and the peaceful transfer of power.
Too much of what goes on today flies in the face of the Constitution:
- Emergency powers should not be invoked to raise taxes or tariffs
- Congress cannot delegate their law-making authorities to the President
- Visas should not be revoked, and people should not be deported, without due process.
- Military leaders should not be fired, and University funding should not be cut, for political bias
- Political leaders should not continue to run businesses while they are in office
- And the President should never serve for more than 2 terms
Let’s embrace and defend the goals and values of our country’s Founding Fathers. Let’s deliver a nation to our children and grandchildren that has greater national strength, a more unified citizenry, and a deeper commitment to the democratic values that the United States has championed since its birth.

America is a place where you can say, what you want to say, worship how you want to worship, love who you want to love, and be who you want to be.
My parents raised me on the Golden Rule. I believe in treating others the way you want to be treated. I believe in focusing on the things we have in common, not the 1% culture wars that divide us.
We don’t need the federal government to tell us what type of medical treatment we can get, what we’re allowed to call ourselves, or what bathroom we can use. We certainly don’t need to make kids feel bad about who they are as they are discovering who they are.
No matter your immigration status, race, religion or orientation, you should be treated with dignity and respect. The government should enable your life, liberty and pursuit of happiness - nothing less.
This is a campaign that shows up for everybody. We stand together against bullies and bigots, and remind others that love is more powerful than hate. American greatness has always come from sticking up for other people - not pushing them down.

In America today, too many families are struggling with rising medical costs, from prescriptions to insurance premiums to surprise ER bills. No American should be a medical emergency or cancer diagnosis away from bankruptcy.
Our healthcare system is failing the people it’s supposed to serve. Costs are skyrocketing, transparency is nonexistent, and too many Americans are forced to choose between their health and their financial stability. This is a moral failure and failure of management.
I believe in a healthcare system that works for the people. The ACA subsidies shouldn’t be expired until we have a better plan. We need a public and private partnership that provides an affordable baseline, but also maintains some healthy competition and innovation. We also should have a team of experts look at disruptive, transparent models we’ve seen with the likes of Mark Cuban’s Cost Plus Drug Company. We need to:
- Lower Prescription Drug Prices
- Eliminate Wasteful Middlemen
- Bring Transparency and Accountability to the Entire Healthcare System
Beyond healthcare, our families and small businesses are also getting crushed by rising insurance premiums, from auto to homeowners.
I support reforms that lower costs and bring more transparency to the insurance industry. That means cracking down on price gouging, increasing competition, and making sure insurance companies play by the rules , not raise rates without reason.

My mother was a career educator, so I know that education isn’t political, it’s personal. It’s about our kids, our teachers, and the future of our communities.
I believe in empowering parents, supporting teachers, and ensuring every student has the tools they need to succeed, whether they’re college-bound or headed into a skilled trade. That means fully funding our public schools, promoting local control, and keeping politics out of the classroom.
I believe in honoring the hard work of our educators while being responsible stewards of taxpayer dollars. Our community values quality education, and that starts with attracting and retaining great teachers.
That’s why I support reasonable, merit-informed increases in teacher pay, especially for high-performing educators and those in under-resourced or high-demand subject areas. We must also work with local school boards and the state to ensure that schools have the flexibility to reward great teachers without overburdening taxpayers. Let’s ensure teacher pay keeps pace with cost of living in fast-growing communities like ours.
Alternatively, I’m firmly against voucher initiatives which will inevitably harm public schools, especially in districts like Plano ISD, Frisco ISD, and Allen ISD, which already face financial challenges due to the state’s recapture system.
Voucher schemes, which are no more than welfare for the wealthy, threaten to drain funding from public classrooms and send taxpayer dollars to private institutions. We need to strengthen public education and ensure that all students have access to quality schooling, not redirect funds to private options for the wealthy minority that will pay for private school anyway.
In terms of higher education, College costs are out of control, and it’s time for real solutions. I support expanding access to community colleges and trade schools, increasing transparency in college pricing, and offering targeted financial aid that rewards hard work and responsibility.

America’s strength has always come from our immigrant heritage. And today, it’s too easy to come here illegally and too difficult to come here legally.
We need strong, smart border security to keep our communities safe. That means more resources for enforcement, stopping drug trafficking, and fixing loopholes that are being exploited. We also need practical solutions for families who are working, paying taxes, and contributing to our communities.
I support immigration reform that protects our borders, streamlines legal immigration, and gives law-abiding immigrants a path to earn their place. I do not endorse illegal migration or criminal activity. I support strong borders, safe streets, and efficient deportations of undocumented criminals.
ICE raids have proven costly, dangerous, and unnecessary. Heavily armed, masked, unaccountable agents operating in our streets, dressed like military commandos, with little to no respect for due process, is not what effective law enforcement looks like in a democracy. If the goal is safety, the solution is straightforward. Identify, arrest, prosecute, and remove violent offenders. Do not scapegoat families who are not criminals.
We can enforce the law. We can secure the border. We can deport undocumented criminals. We can protect our communities. We can honor our immigrant heritage and treat people with dignity and respect. And we can talk honestly about crime without turning grief into propaganda or fear into policy.
Canada and Mexico are more than our neighbors — they’re Texas’s biggest trading partners. From agriculture to manufacturing, our economy relies on good relationships with our geographic neighbors and secure, effective, borders.
I support reforms that protect Texas jobs, boost our exports, and hold all sides accountable. And I believe in strong border security that protects our communities while keeping trade and travel flowing smoothly.
We can work with our allies and defend our interests — because when North America works together, Texas grows stronger.

We must get big money and special interests out of politics, and give our voice and vote real power again. This requires bold systematic reforms.
I’m a charter member of the Take BAC Congress pledge, which calls for term limits, banning members of Congress from trading stocks, overturning or mitigating Citizen’s United, enforcing a cooling-off period before lobbying, and holding the Supreme Court to clear ethics standards.
When I get to Congress, I’m going to push for a nationwide ban against partisan, out-of-cycle gerrymandering that cracks our communities, silences voices and confuses voters.
Furthermore, I support uncapping the House. TX-03 now has roughly one million people across seven counties, a mix of fast-growing suburbs and rural communities with very different needs. And yet, we get one representative. That’s not meaningful representation, that’s overload.
That’s why the Equal Voices Act (H.R. 4125) matters. It would expand the House, shrink district sizes, and make representation more proportional to the population. In plain terms, it would make representatives more accessible and more accountable.

I’ve personally experienced how lasting peace only comes through strength, and strong alliances like NATO help keep America secure.
We can and should leverage our position of strength to ensure we have fair and mutually beneficial trade policies. However, there is no need to instigate trade wars that will only hurt consumers in the long run. Even if we need to renegotiate certain deals, there is no need for drama and blame. This is the world order that we established and maintained since World War 2.
Our alliances aren’t a charity, they are a force multiplier. They stand with us, share the burden, and help deter threats from Russia, China, and rogue states. I fought alongside our allies in Operation ENDURING FREEDOM. I support strong alliances because they protect American interests and keep our troops safer through shared defense.
And I also believe every member must pay their fair share. We need strong American leadership that holds allies accountable and keeps our commitments.
Our alliances makes us stronger, not weaker, when they are built on mutually beneficial trade, shared responsibility, and trust.

I believe in responsible governance rooted in accountability, and respect for the people who keep this country running. Over time, loopholes in the Tax Code have been steadily expanded so that the billionaires pay less than schoolteachers and firefighters. Our tax code is overly complicated, allowing it to be exploited by people that can pay for lawyers and accountants. We need to make it work for everyday people again. No short-cuts. No special priveladges.
Additionally, there should be no taxation without representation. And make no mistake about it, tariffs are a form of taxation.
I support Fair Trade, but not the way it’s been implemented. Tariffs don’t work if your customers are so upset that they stop buying American products.
I stand for a government that listens before it levies. Whether it’s a new tax, a regulatory fee, or a tariff that affects local economies, decisions must be made with direct input and representation from the people those policies impact.
We can support a strong economy and national interests without sidelining everyday Americans. Fiscal responsibility should never come at the cost of democratic accountability. I’ll fight to make sure your voice is at the table before your paycheck is on the line.

America cannot be a force for good in the world while we remain so divided at home. And now that this administration has placed us in the middle of an expanding conflict between Israel and Iran, getting our own house in order is more important than ever. That’s why I won’t accept donations from AIPAC or any other foreign-interest aligned organization.
This administration claims to care about freeing Muslim Iranians while actively working against Muslim American’s freedom here at home. And even though that same administration embraces Israel as a long-standing ally, resentment toward Israel continues to grow, affecting Jewish Americans in the US.
Islamophobia and anti-Muslim hate are real here in Texas, fueled by divisive rhetoric from leaders like Representative Keith Self and his “anti-Sharia” caucus. At the same time, antisemitism is real and rising as well, especially when Israel enters the discussion. We need to remember that an attack on one community is an attack on all of us. The American way is to oppose hate in every form while still having honest conversations about policy.
October 7 marked the deadliest day for the Jewish people since the Holocaust, and I remain firmly committed to protecting Jewish communities from attacks by terrorist organizations, particularly those supported by the Islamic Republic of Iran. The United States must remain steadfast in confronting terrorist organizations, particularly those backed by the Islamic Republic of Iran, and in ensuring the safety and security of our allies.
At the same time, I have been deeply horrified by the ongoing humanitarian crisis in Gaza, especially over the past two and a half years, which numerous human rights groups have defined as a genocide. The United States must uphold international law and adhere to statutes such as the Leahy Law, which prohibits support for foreign security forces credibly implicated in gross human rights violations. Until we get back to spending money in line with our values, I don’t support sending another dollar or offensive weapon to Israel.
We must also confront the ongoing violence and displacement facing Palestinians in the West Bank, including attacks by extremist settlers. These actions weaken the potential for peace and these attacks must be met with real accountability and a clear commitment to de-escalation and the protection of civilian communities. I believe in a future where both Israelis and Palestinians can live in peace, with stability, security, and self-determination.

We must honor our commitments and take care of those who’ve spent their lives working hard, raising families, and contributing to our communities. I’m running to make sure our retirees are protected and respected, because retirement should be a time of security, not stress.
- Protecting Social Security. No Excuses: Social Security is a promise, not a political bargaining chip. I’ll fight any attempt to cut benefits and work to keep the program strong for our current and future retirees.
- Support for Family Caregivers: Many families in the 3rd District are caring for aging parents while raising kids of their own. I’ll work to ease that burden with more support for home care and family caregivers.
- Veteran’s programs: We owe our veterans real support, not just slogans. That means access to quality healthcare, job training, mental health services, and making sure no veteran is left behind.
