Elections

Election integrity is crucial to the stability and security of our country. Processes must be put in place that will ensure complete transparency in the system, safeguarding and restoring trust in our elections.

• Restore complete transparency in the election process.
• Implement measures to ensure the counting process isn’t hidden from the public.
• Allow voters to verify for whom they voted after they cast their ballot.
• Apply strict guidelines to mail-in voting.
• Require proof of ID to vote.
• Ban ballot harvesting.

Education

As a career teacher, I have an up-front view of our education system, and I can say that without a doubt, it needs some major reform. We have a responsibility to enact policies and standards that better serve the students, training them for a successful future. We also need to fix the accountability system, as currently, the sole responsibility for a student’s success falls on the shoulders of the teacher. Finally, what we teach our children regarding how they view each other, how they view themselves, and how they view this country is vital to building strong generations of Americans. Radical ideologies such as Critical Race Theory (CRT) which teaches children that they are either oppressed or an oppressor based upon the color of their skin is damaging and must be expunged.

• Students should be trained and empowered to become productive members of our society. I will work to establish a 3-diploma system: Traditional, Career & Technology, and ROTC, all of which will truly ensure that no child is left behind. I will also work to mandate financial literacy as a required course for students.
• The accountability system regarding education must be fixed to be equal to all stakeholders. Schools, teachers, parents, and the student must all be held accountable to the development and success of students in our public education system.
• Critical Race Theory (CRT) is infecting our education system at every level. The indoctrination of our youth with this radical, Marxist agenda must be stopped. I will work to ban this ideology from our schools.
• Reinstate the 1776 Commission.
• End tax-payer financing of useless degrees that are funding radicalized colleges.

Media & Big Tech Censorship

The media and big tech’s censorship of and war on the First Amendment must stop. All Americans should be able to freely express their thoughts and opinions without the threat of censorship or of being de-platformed. Additionally, the media must not be controlled by one party, pushing only party-approved, narratives and talking points.

Border & Immigration

A country without borders isn’t a country. It is vulnerable and weak, rather than secure and strong. We must secure our border, stopping the flow of illegal immigration, crime, and human trafficking that is pouring across it. This isn’t uncaring or inhumane. It’s common sense.

• Border Security - Finish the wall.
• Funding - Increase funding for our border patrol and ICE agents, provisioning them to do their jobs.
• Human Trafficking – Have you ever heard of “rape trees?” These are found throughout South Texas. As part of their “fee” to human smugglers, women and child migrants looking for border passage are carried off to isolated locations and raped. Their garments are then left hanging on trees. This is horrific and vile. Perpetrators of such behavior must not be allowed to roam free. I will work to pass legislation for harsher punishments for human traffickers.
• Deportation – All violent criminals should be deported. No exceptions.
• Legal Immigration – I will work to incentivize legal immigration to encourage all those that seek freedom and a better life to do so the right way.

Government Spending & Hyper Inflation

Printing money that we don't have has caught up with us. Excessive and wasteful government spending has increased our national debt and lowered the value of the dollar, thereby decreasing our overall purchasing power. I will work to curb wasteful spending and ensure that Washington works within a more limited budget.

Energy

Any energy strategy must start with Energy Independence. Reliance on others for our country’s needs, especially energy sources, is a recipe for disaster. Nuclear energy should be at the forefront of fulfilling our ever-growing energy needs. We must also leverage natural gas, which we have an abundance of, and exploit our plentiful oil resources in a responsible manner.

Trade & China

The strength of America needs to be restored, and this starts with reducing the United States’ reliance on China and others for products and services. We need to bring manufacturing, IT, finance, and legal jobs back to the U.S. rather than offshoring them. I will work to bring jobs back by providing incentives to corporations to promote a truly U.S. workforce.

China’s dominance in the world continues to grow, usually at the expense of our own national security. As mentioned above, we are too reliant on them for products and services, specifically our pharmaceuticals. Also, we continue to lose tens of thousands of acres of our own farmland (read: food supply!) to them through land purchases. To combat all of this, I believe we should:

• Impose tariffs on China’s exports.
• Bring pharmaceutical production back to the U.S.
• Ban China’s ownership of U.S. land.

National Defense

We must concentrate our efforts on building a strong military that will defend us and our country.

• End Nation Building & Endless Wars - We just witnessed the painful culmination of a 20-year war. During those same two decades, we’ve also witnessed another long war; one we got into based upon lies and false information. America’s sons and daughters who sign up to serve deserve better than this. Their life’s blood should not be spilled in the name of nation building and endless wars. This must stop. I will stand against this, and any blank checks used to fund it.
• Eliminate “Wokeness”- Headline: “General Milley Strives to Understand ‘White Rage.’” Now, I’m paraphrasing the actual headline here, but why is our top general seemingly “going woke” rather than working to create the fiercest, fighting force this world has ever seen? I’m concerned! “Wokeness”, Critical Race Theory, and other such ideologies have no place in our armed forces. They will only weaken and divide. Our military must be strong and united.

Covid

COVID-19 is real. It’s a virus that affects people differently, and sometimes, tragically. My heart goes out to those that have experienced the loss of loved ones to this virus. I also understand the distress of those who have had their livelihoods destroyed due to the irresponsible response to this virus: the lockdowns. Our path forward must be different. First, we must come to terms with the fact that COVID is endemic. It’s here to stay. We must live our lives without fear of this virus and without implementing draconian measures upon our society or hurting our economy.

• No Lockdowns – A strong economy is what keeps our country going. Shutting it down only creates long-term pain and disruption. We should never shut down our economy even if in the interest of safety.
• Access to Treatments – Ensuring access to monoclonal antibodies and other medications is crucial in combatting COVID and treating those who are sick. Any restrictions placed on the accessibility of such treatments jeopardize the health and well-being of Americans.
• No Vaccine Mandates – The decision to be vaccinated should lie solely with the individual. Never should citizens be coerced or threatened into taking one. Never should they be treated like second-class citizens for reserving the right to determine what will and will not be injected into their own bodies.
• No Vaccine Passports – Requiring Americans to show proof of vaccination to go about in life: running a mundane errand, boarding a plane, or grabbing a bite to eat with friends, is something I never thought I would see in this country, yet here we are. I have no problem calling this what it is: tyranny. I will always fight against these measures. Our rights to life, liberty, and the pursuit of happiness are God-given. They are not dependent upon vaccination status and proof of vaccination.
• No Mask Mandates – Similarly to the vaccine, mask wearing should be an individual decision. This is not something that should be mandated by federal or local government.

The 2nd Amendment

The right to bear arms should never be infringed. I will always support our right to defend ourselves and our families. I will work to block any efforts to provision the government with tools that will encroach upon this right or be used against Americans.

Environment

We have been blessed with a beautiful planet. It is our responsibility to be good stewards of it. Conservation is an essential aspect of this stewardship.

• Governors have been derelict in their responsibility to implement proper clean-up measures in forests. This has been a main contributor to forest fires. These governors must be held accountable.
• Promote and incentivize reforestation efforts.
• Clean up our oceans and rid them of garbage patches. Penalize both domestic and foreign polluters with fines.
• Promote and incentivize recycling programs.^[3]
