11 priorities · 26 quoted statements
I’m a proud gun owner and lifetime member of the NRA. I spent 20 years serving our nation abroad to keep American families safe, and the last thing I want is for them to be defenseless at home.
The Biden-Harris Administration and its leftist allies have proven they are radically anti-gun. The way to stop crime is NOT by taking away your right to protect yourself. I oppose any and all federal regulations on the right to keep and bear arms. I will be a relentless and unapologetic defender of our 2nd Amendment.
Every life is a precious gift from God. As a father and a Christian, I 100% support the right to life as the first and most vital right.
I am proud of President Trump’s crucial work in appointing three new Supreme Court justices in his first term, which positioned the court to successfully reverse Roe v. Wade and return power back to the states, saving babies’ lives.
We NEED strong representation in Washington that will stand for the right to life and stand against attacks on the unborn and all innocent life in our nation.
The Biden-Harris Administration’s dangerous open border policies have created one of the worst humanitarian crises in our nation’s history, letting criminals, fentanyl, and human traffickers freely pour across the border and putting our communities at risk. We must support President Trump in his efforts and pass real legislation to secure the border, finish the wall, and give Border Patrol agents the resources they need to keep our families safe.
Your property is just that—yours. Washington sometimes forgets that. As your Congressman, I have protected the rights of Texans to keep, manage, and use their own property. Pet projects like the proposed high-speed rail are made by out-of-touch bureaucrats who have forgotten whose land it really is. In a time of global food shortage, we cannot allow our farmland to be destroyed, and taxpayer dollars squandered for unsustainable and unnecessary land grab projects like this.
Farmers, ranchers, and Americans deserve leadership that advocates for them.
Regulations are threatening draconian “protections.”
We need someone who will stand up for us and our families against Washington.
Many regulations are touted as environmental or workers’ protections are cover for big businesses and special interests looking to get an edge in the market.
We must stop the job-killing red tape that hurts small businesses while helping special interests.
Get government out of the way of job growth and let our economy thrive.
Our schools should be places to equip the next generation of leaders, not run social experiments on our children. As a father with two children in public school, I’m committed to ensuring our public schools are as strong and as well-equipped to tackle the tough job of teaching our kids.
Here in Texas, we have some of the best teachers in the world. I want to see them supported and given the resources they need to help our kids succeed. We must stop the efforts at forcing teachers to comply with radical indoctrination and get the focus back on education.
I am completely behind our teachers, students, and parents and will continue to ensure they have a voice in Washington.
We have seen the stark contrast between the Make America Great Again economy versus the Build Back Better economy that has been touted by the Biden-Harris Administration and legacy media. Despite efforts to convince hardworking Americans that inflation is not real, the people spoke on November 5th with a resounding roar that we will not continue down the same path.
We MUST stand for the free market and stand against efforts to impose socialism. We must let businesses get back to business without government interference and allow honest Americans to make an honest living.
We must stop apologizing for American excellence and instead encourage the export and trade of American goods to bolster the global economy. A rising tide lifts all ships and a strong economy is good for Americans as well as our global partners.
Those who service us at home and abroad deserve our support. I have nothing but respect for those who choose to dedicate their lives to service in uniform. I was honored to work alongside many fine men and women over my 20 years in the Navy, and I have never forgotten what it takes to make the decision to serve. The personal, physical, and other sacrifices that must be made in order to serve in our law enforcement and armed forces can’t be summed up.
Whether they serve behind a badge or in an F-22 in Afghanistan, those who put their lives on the line to defend us are owed a debt of gratitude we can never repay. I will always stand with our military, veterans, first responders, and law enforcement, and I will stand against any and all attacks against them.
Anyone who has ever run a business or even balanced a household checkbook knows this simple rule—DON’T SPEND MORE THAN YOU HAVE. It’s time Americans stopped footing the bill for Washington’s tax-and-spend policies.
We need to prioritize cutting wasteful spending and stopping tax increases. For too long, Washington has passed bloated budgets and gotten away with it. We need to make Washington spend less instead of charging taxpayers more.
Elections are the cornerstone of our republic and the liberty of our nation. Texas has some of the most secure elections in the world, but even one case of voter fraud is one too many and other states have not held themselves to our standard of excellence.
I will stand against voter fraud and efforts to subvert the sanctity of our electoral process. This is not a partisan issue, this is a commonsense issue. Our votes must be cast, collected, and counted in a way that is 100% secure and accurate.
Israel has been our strongest supporter and constant ally in the war against terrorism. As a trade, defense, and global partner, Israel has strengthened American interests on all fronts. We can’t turn our back on them now, especially after the horrific attack on their people on October 7th.
As your Congressman, I will continue to stand with our Israeli allies.

A further $73,091 came from donors whose answer names no employer (None, blank), so it is not ranked. Ranked from the largest 200 of 201 employer spellings filed; each share is of the money in those. 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 ($472,762) are not itemized, so no employer or occupation is filed for them.
Outside spending $56,714 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.
