In Their Words

What they have said, on the record

“We need to keep taxes low for middle class families, raise the minimum wage, close tax loopholes for the ultra-wealthy, and cut the deficit and debt. Congress lacks the courage to confront these growing problems. It's our only hope to ensure a prosperous future for our children and grandchildren.”
Q&A: Get to know the candidates running for Congressional District 2Aug 31, 2026 · Press · Community Impact · source
“Robust constituent services. I will have offices throughout the district, in-person and virtual townhalls, pop-up offices and services, while partnering with local groups and institutions throughout the district. I will listen to my constituents and I will be responsive. I am very bipartisan and will represent everyone in this district.”

“Our growing national debt. This will shatter our children's future as our budgets are consumed by interest payments and the inevitable result will be massive cuts to essential programs and services. If we do not tackle our debt problem, the American Dream won't exist for the next generation.”
Q&A: Get to know the candidates running for Congressional District 2Aug 31, 2026 · Press · Community Impact · source
“As a father, a businessman, and a taxpayer, I understand the frustrations that families are facing - a national debt growing out of control, and the cost of living becoming unaffordable. My priorities are: never spend more than we can afford, and ensure everyone has an opportunity to support their families.”

“Every Texan deserves a responsible government that supports growth, not impairs our success. As a father, a businessman, and a taxpayer, I understand the frustrations that our families are facing - a national debt growing out of control, the cost of living becoming unaffordable, and Social Security, Medicare, and Medicaid being put on the chopping block. Once elected, I'll apply the same lessons I've learned throughout my business career to government - never spend more than what we can afford, ensure everyone has an equal opportunity to support their families and succeed, and never jeopardize essential benefits that matter most. That means protecting Social Security, Medicare, and Medicaid benefits for all middle-class Americans.”
