11 priorities · 11 quoted statements
Chris Gober is ready to put his experience to work for the taxpayers of the 10th Congressional District, standing strong for President Trump and delivering his America First Agenda.
Crush the cartels by helping President Trump secure our border and empowering Texas law enforcement to halt the invasion of drugs, violence, and gangs into our community.
President Trump’s America First agenda is unleashing economic growth, and Chris will fight to keep Texas leading the way. He’ll boost investment in cutting-edge defense and technology and position Austin and the Brazos Valley as America’s center for innovation—ensuring we outcompete China and strengthen our technology infrastructure and national security.
Rural Texans are feeling the squeeze from rising costs and limited access to quality care. Chris will fight to cut burdensome regulations, expand small business opportunities, make essentials more affordable, and strengthen rural healthcare so families don’t have to drive hours for treatment.
Chris is focused on responsible growth—fighting for everyday, hardworking Texans, creating opportunity, tackling affordability challenges Texans face everyday, rewarding hard work, and protecting rural communities.
Cut the cost of gas, groceries, and healthcare by suspending the gas tax when prices surge, going after the middlemen who inflate grocery prices, and eliminating hidden PBM markups on prescription drugs.
Cut the cost of buying a first home with new tax deductions for first-time buyers and for down payments on a new primary residence.
Bring manufacturing home and end our dependence on China for critical supplies, with incentives to reshore production and rules governing what the federal government buys.
Cut the red tape that keeps American factories and energy projects stuck in years of federal permitting.
Put local communities first when data centers want to come to town: preserve our water, protect families from higher power bills, and require a clear economic benefit for local citizens.
Protect family farms and ranches from the estate tax so heirs aren’t forced to sell land that has been in the family for generations.

This is the campaign's claim, checked by an editor against its page; the endorsers have not confirmed it to us. Each name opens the campaign’s page with that name highlighted.

By the state each donor wrote on the filing, across 21 states and territories. Donors who have given $200 or less this cycle are not itemized, so they cannot be placed on a map. The FEC’s grouping also counts joint-fundraising memo lines, so these rows can add up to more than the itemized total.

A further $121,000 came from donors whose answer names no employer (N/A, None, blank), so it is not ranked. Itemized gifts over $200, grouped by the words donors filed: not an industry classification, and a gift from an employee is not a gift from the employer. The FEC’s grouping also counts joint-fundraising memo lines, so these rows can add up to more than the itemized total. Gifts of $200 or less ($12,485) are not itemized, so no employer or occupation is filed for them.
Outside spending $1,604,144 across this race
Money groups spent on their own, not through a campaign. Each ad is filed against the candidate it names, so money attacking an opponent shows on the opponent’s row. Open a candidate to see who spent it.
Support and oppose are each group’s own labels, not a judgment made here.
$12,000 of the race total was filed about other candidates, so it would not show on Gober’s own record.
Independent expenditures (Schedule E) only. Electioneering communications and corporate or union member communications file separately; they are counted for Goberunder “Other outside spending” in the full finance detail, but not for the rest of the field, so every other row is a floor.

All 523 itemized payments filed this cycle. Spending below the itemization threshold is not filed line by line.
13 payments were reported as a lump sum, such as a card or payroll bill, with the detail filed underneath as memo entries. Those entries, $32,561 in all, are counted under the payee and purpose they name rather than under the processor that was paid. The total is the same either way.
