TEXAS ISSUES
As a born-and-raised Texan and Republican candidate for Texas Governor in 2030, my platform is built on putting Texas First, reducing government overreach, and delivering real freedom and fairness for all Texans.
Through the Freedom Fund — powered by responsible cannabis legalization via the Cultivate Texas Act and unleashing safe, restricted industries under the Texas Freedom Act — I will slash property taxes by 50% in my first term and eliminate them entirely by 2038 (or sooner). No PAC donations will influence my decisions. I’m here for the people of Texas.
Below are my positions on the key issues facing our great state.
Border Security and the Invasion Clause
Texas is under siege at our southern border due to federal inaction. I support invoking the Invasion Clause of the U.S. Constitution to declare the border crisis an invasion and deploy Texas resources to secure it. This includes expanding Operation Lone Star, building physical barriers, increasing state trooper presence, and partnering with local law enforcement to stop illegal crossings, human trafficking, and fentanyl smuggling.
The Texas Sovereignty Defense Act will empower Texas to defend its borders independently when federal efforts fail, including the authority to detain and deport illegal entrants and impose penalties on entities aiding illegal immigration. The Texas Sovereignty & Influence Shield Act will shield Texas from federal policies that undermine our security, such as sanctuary city mandates.
Eliminating Property Taxes — ZERO by 2038 (or Sooner)
Property taxes are a burdensome theft on hardworking Texans. My Freedom Fund, fueled by the Cultivate Texas Act and Texas Freedom Act, will cut property taxes by 50% in my first term and phase them out completely by 2038. We will replace them with sustainable revenue from cannabis and limited Texas-owned coastal resorts and casinos — all while preserving family values and local control. Let’s make Texas the envy of the nation with true tax freedom and build The Texas Riviera.
Energy and Water Scarcity
Texas is the energy capital of the world, yet we face growing demands, scarcity risks, and an unreliable grid. As Governor, I'll deliver reforms through freedom—not mandates—to ensure our grid is reliable, affordable, and blackout-proof.
I'll prioritize energy independence and baseload power by expanding reliable sources like natural gas, oil, and nuclear—while firmly opposing green mandates—and invest in grid resilience to prevent blackouts.
Texas' water scarcity, aging infrastructure, and long-term supply must be addressed responsibly. We'll implement innovative conservation strategies, including desalination plants along the coast, rainwater harvesting incentives, and infrastructure upgrades to combat droughts.
To enhance water storage resilience, we'll invest in expanding existing reservoirs, constructing new underground storage facilities, and modernizing dams to capture and store more rainwater during wet periods, ensuring reliable supplies during dry spells and reducing flood risks.
To address the high water demands of emerging industries, I'll require AI data centers to invest in their own sustainable water solutions or partner with atmospheric water generator companies to extract moisture from the air, ensuring they don't strain public resources.
Additionally, AI data centers and other high-energy users will pay their fair share of electricity infrastructure costs directly, preventing cost-shifting to everyday consumers. I'll freeze any rate hikes until full audits prove no waste or inefficiency in the system.
We'll prioritize existing rights-of-way for new energy and water infrastructure projects to minimize unnecessary takings of private land, mandating that utilities explore and prove why upgrades to current corridors aren't feasible first. Genuine landowner input will be demanded through mandatory public hearings in affected areas, ensuring transparency and real community involvement in planning—no backroom deals.
Grid resilience and these initiatives will be funded through the Freedom Fund (responsible revenue from Cultivate Texas Act cannabis legalization and Texas Freedom Act coastal resorts), redirecting revenues from responsible new industries to build a robust, blackout-proof system without raising taxes on everyday Texans.
By streamlining regulations and fostering public-private partnerships, we'll ensure abundant, affordable energy and water for generations, securing Texas's economic future.
The Texas Sovereignty & Influence Shield Act bans hostile foreign entities (China, Russia, North Korea, Iran, and cartels) from owning Texas water rights or land—millions of acres already foreign-owned, including by adversarial nations. Protect supply for Texans first.
Parent Choice in Education
Parents know what’s best for their children. The True School Freedom Act will deliver universal school choice — public, private, charter, homeschool, or micro-school. Your money will follow your child. No zip code traps. No income caps. From Day 1. We will focus public schools on core academics, eliminate wasteful spending, and ban indoctrination while supporting teacher pay and vocational training.
H-1B Visas
The H-1B program has been abused to displace American workers and suppress wages. Under the Texas Sovereignty & Influence Shield Act and Sovereignty Defense Act, we will prioritize Texas workers, audit companies that misuse the system, impose state penalties (including loss of contracts), and ensure skilled immigration benefits Texans first — not cheap labor that undermines our economy.
Giving Texas Back to the People
Government has grown too big and distant from the people it serves. I'll shrink bureaucracy, cut red tape, and return power to Texans through initiatives like citizen referendums on major issues and transparent budgeting. By ending cronyism and no-bid contracts, we'll ensure taxpayer dollars work for you, not special interests. To enhance citizen involvement, I'll mandate public hearings for all major state projects and regulations, ensuring Texans have a direct voice before decisions are made. Additionally, a statewide Landowner Protection Task Force—comprised of real ranchers, farmers, and community representatives, not Austin insiders—will review and veto proposals that threaten property rights, providing a bulwark against eminent domain abuse and overreach. This is about restoring the bold, free spirit of Texas—less government, more liberty.
Election Integrity
Trust in our elections is paramount. I'll strengthen voter ID laws, ban ballot harvesting, and implement paper ballots with audits to prevent fraud. We'll clean voter rolls, secure mail-in voting, and increase transparency with real-time monitoring. Texas must lead in fair, secure elections to protect democracy and ensure every legal vote counts.
Protecting Texas Kids from Predators – No Mercy, No Revolving Doors
Texas kids are under siege from predators — and too many DAs are letting them off easy. Dropping or gutting sexual charges against minors? Sweetheart pleas for child abusers? Releasing repeat offenders on weak bonds? That's not “reform” — it's betrayal. Families are furious, victims are ignored, and predators keep hunting.
I've seen it up close. This hits home for my family too. Enough!
Any grown-ass adult who rapes a child deserves the DEATH PENALTY. Period. These monsters destroy innocent kids forever — no second chances, no mercy, no weak life sentences.
As your next Governor, I will fight like hell to protect our children with ironclad enforcement and zero tolerance for child predators. No more soft-on-crime excuses. No more backlogs. No more politics shielding monsters.
My plan includes:
-
Death penalty for child rape — I will push legislation to make child rape and sodomy capital crimes in Texas, building on the momentum from Alabama’s Child Predator Death Penalty Act (signed Feb 2026), Florida’s efforts since 2023, and similar laws passed in Tennessee, Idaho, Oklahoma, and Arkansas in 2024–2025. Texas must lead the fight to overturn the outdated 2008 SCOTUS ruling and protect our kids with the ultimate punishment for the worst offenders.
-
Ironclad enforcement — No dropped charges, no weak pleas. Mandatory maximum penalties for sexual assault, child pornography, and continuous abuse of children.
-
Bail hammer — Automatic denial of bail for any repeat offender in DV, SA, or CP cases. Priors mean no personal recognizance bonds, no streets, no second chances to harm kids.
-
DA accountability on steroids — Faster removal for prosecutors who systematically fail kids. Allow state override to prosecute when local DAs go soft.
-
State muscle — Create a mechanism for Texas to take over weak or stalled child sex abuse cases. No politics, no excuses, no backlogs.
-
Full protection push — Harsher sentences across the board, lifetime registration expansions, and zero tolerance on grooming and trafficking.
Kids deserve locked-up monsters, not revolving doors. Texas families demand a Governor who fights like hell to protect them — not one who looks the other way.
Stand up for our children. Join the fight to end this nightmare. Texas First — always.
Texas Economy
Our economy thrives on low taxes, innovation, and hard work. By eliminating property taxes, reducing regulations, and investing in infrastructure through the Freedom Fund, we will attract jobs, support small businesses and agriculture, and make Texas the top destination for opportunity.
We will unlock the full potential of Texas waters by cutting red tape on responsible aquaculture — including oysters, crawfish, shrimp, red drum, and high-value native species. This will create thousands of new coastal and rural jobs, reduce our dependence on foreign seafood, and generate new revenue to accelerate property tax elimination — all while keeping Texas producers free to innovate and compete in global markets.
Reclaim 1836 Texas Icons Initiative
Texas is a land of giants — bold symbols of independence, resilience, and limitless ambition. From the Alamo to the cattle drives that built our state, to the rockets launching us toward the stars, Texans have always thought big.
As your next Governor, I will champion the Reclaim 1836 Texas Icons Initiative — world-class landmarks celebrating our heritage and future. These will be funded 100% privately through philanthropy, corporate sponsors, and voluntary partnerships — including a real retired Starship prototype or booster donated by Elon Musk and SpaceX. No new taxes. No burden on Texas taxpayers. No new bureaucracy. Just free Texans investing in Texas pride.
We will display a genuine Starship rocket near the Queen Isabella Memorial Bridge on South Padre Island/Port Isabel – a jaw-dropping, authentic icon in the heart of Texas launch country that honors our role as America’s gateway to Mars and draws massive tourism and inspiration.
In Austin, our state capital, we will build a “Herd of Heroes” — enormous perforated stainless-steel longhorn heads or full figures (Kelpies-scale) that emerge dramatically from the Colorado River like Scotland’s iconic Kelpies. Positioned near a major bridge such as the Pennybacker (360) Bridge or Lamar Boulevard area, these will rise powerfully from the water and landscape, representing the grit and independence of 1836. Funded entirely by private ranching families and philanthropists.
These two icons will create jobs and economic activity through private enterprise while embodying Reclaim 1836 in action: Cultivating a Stronger, Freer Texas through pride, innovation, and voluntary investment — not government mandates or spending. Texas First, always.
Right to Life
I am proudly pro-life and will continue protecting the unborn while expanding support for mothers, adoption, and crisis pregnancy centers. Life is sacred, and our policies must reflect Texas values.
Term Limits
Career politicians have failed us. I support term limits for governor, legislators, and judges to bring fresh ideas and prevent entrenchment.
DOGE AI Audits
Inspired by the federal Department of Government Efficiency, I will implement AI-driven audits across every state agency to root out waste, fraud, and inefficiency. Savings will flow directly into the Freedom Fund to accelerate property tax elimination.
Public Safety
Public safety is non-negotiable. I will back the blue with better funding, training, and equipment while pursuing responsible justice reform to reduce recidivism. We will not tolerate open-air asylums — those with severe mental illness who pose a danger will receive structured care in state hospitals.
Veterans
Texas proudly leads the nation with nearly 1.5 million veterans—more than any other state—who have sacrificed everything to defend our freedom and way of life. These heroes deserve far more than platitudes; they deserve bold, tangible results. As Governor, I will make Texas the undisputed gold standard for veteran support by slashing bureaucracy, innovating on mental health, and opening real economic doors.
Expanded Health Care and Mental Health Support
Our veterans deserve unwavering, timely care. I'll expand state programs for health care, job training, and housing by forging stronger direct partnerships with the VA to eliminate wait times and red tape. Mental health will be a top priority: increased funding for PTSD treatment, suicide prevention (where rates remain alarmingly high among Texas veterans), and addiction recovery. Through the Cultivate Texas Act, we'll dedicate revenue from responsible cannabis licensing to veteran-specific mental health programs—providing access to innovative, non-opioid alternative therapies that complement traditional VA care and address root causes without over-reliance on outdated systems.
Housing, Homelessness Prevention, and Family Support
Far too many Texas veterans still face housing instability or homelessness despite national progress in housing thousands. I'll collaborate with nonprofits, the Texas Veterans Commission, and local partners to expand affordable, accessible housing, service-connected disability modifications, and family support programs. We'll aggressively remove barriers—ensuring no Texan who wore the uniform ever ends up on the streets.
Economic Empowerment and Business Opportunities for Veterans
Veterans won't just transition—they'll thrive. Under the Cultivate Texas Act, they'll get priority access to cannabis business licenses, turning service into ownership in a booming, regulated industry. This creates real entrepreneurship, jobs, and generational wealth—not handouts, but earned opportunities for those who've given so much. We'll expand tax exemptions for disabled veterans and surviving spouses, while launching a "Texas Veterans First" initiative: hiring preferences in state government jobs and expedited licensing that translates military skills directly into civilian careers.
Recognition, Justice, and Second Chances
We'll honor our heroes through meaningful state ceremonies, streamlined benefits navigation via the Texas Veterans Commission, and public recognition that reflects their sacrifice. Aligned with my justice reform vision, we'll tackle veteran-specific challenges like over-incarceration tied to service-related trauma (PTSD, addiction), offering clear pathways to redemption and reintegration.
Texas has the largest veteran community in America—it's time we deliver the nation's best veteran care. While others focus on incremental grants or personal anecdotes, my plan drives innovative, self-sustaining results: faster VA access through partnerships, cannabis revenue fueling mental health breakthroughs, and economic freedom that empowers veterans as entrepreneurs. Our veterans defended our liberties—now Texas will defend theirs with action, not just words.
If you're a veteran, family member, or friend in need today, reach out to the Texas Veterans Commission (tvc.texas.gov) or contact my campaign directly. Let's build a Texas where every veteran thrives. Together, we'll honor their service by securing their future.
Healthcare
Healthcare should be affordable and accessible without government mandates. I'll promote market-based reforms like price transparency, telemedicine expansion, and competition among providers to lower costs. Supporting rural hospitals, mental health services, and preventive care will improve outcomes, while justice reform addresses non-violent offenses to ease system burdens. Texas will not tolerate open-air asylums—those chaotic encampments that endanger communities and abandon the vulnerable. Instead, I'll enforce mandatory state hospital stays for individuals with severe mental illness who pose a risk to themselves or others, providing compassionate, structured care to restore dignity and safety for all.
DEI (Diversity, Equity, and Inclusion)
Forced DEI programs divide rather than unite. I'll eliminate state-funded DEI initiatives in education, government, and businesses, focusing instead on merit, equality of opportunity, and individual achievement. Texas succeeds when we judge by character and ability, not quotas or ideology—fostering true fairness for all.
Eminent Domain and Property Rights
I've had enough of big government and special interests trampling on private property rights.
These massive 765kV high-voltage transmission lines—pushed by HB5066 (2023)—threaten to carve through family ranches, clearcut flood-prone Hill Country land, wreck habitat along our last pristine rivers, and kill the natural tourism economy that keeps rural Texas alive: hunting, paddling, outdoor recreation.
Reliable power matters for Texas growth. But not like this.
These projects overuse eminent domain to seize land from hardworking families and ranchers, mostly to benefit billion-dollar data centers, crypto farms, and big industrial users—while sticking everyday ratepayers with the bill. Tech gets outdated fast. The damage to our land, heritage, and communities lasts forever.
This violates the spirit of putting Texas families first—not corporate cronies or out-of-state money.
As Governor, I will fight for you—no excuses, no delays:
On Day 1, I'll issue an executive order freezing new eminent domain actions on all 765kV transmission projects and oil pipeline projects until full, independent landowner reviews and genuine public input are completed. No more rushed takings while decisions hang in the balance.
Demand real transparency and genuine landowner input in every plan—no more backroom deals. I'll require mandatory public hearings in affected counties before any filing, with full disclosure of route options and who really benefits.
Prioritize existing rights-of-way for new lines to stop unnecessary new takings of private land. We'll mandate utilities explore and prove why existing corridors can't handle upgrades first.
Reform eminent domain laws—stronger protections for landowners, fairer compensation, and higher bars before government can seize property. I'll push legislation to raise the "public use" threshold, guarantee independent appraisals paid by the utility, and allow landowners to repurchase unused easements if projects stall or change.
Hold utilities and special interests accountable—no more socializing costs to regular Texans while elites profit. I'll direct costs based on who drives the demand (big industrial users pay their share first) and freeze rate hikes tied to these lines until full audits prove no waste.
Partner with affected counties and communities. We'll create a Landowner Protection Task Force (with real ranchers and county reps, not Austin insiders) to review plans and coordinate legal challenges if needed. I'll stand with you in hearings and use the Governor's bully pulpit to stop overreach.
Texas thrives when we protect private property, family farms, rural legacies, and our natural wonders—not when we sacrifice them for someone else's bottom line.
Stopping Islamist Ideology & Sharia Threats – Expanding the Texas Sovereignty & Influence Shield Act
Islamist ideology is a direct assault on Texas sovereignty, our Christian heritage, and the freedoms that built this state. It's not a protected religion—it's a dangerous political ideology that seeks to impose Sharia, create no-go zones, and exploit our system for takeover.
These radicals openly discuss demographic conquest—using higher birth rates and procreation as a long-term plan to outnumber, outvote, and replace native Texans. We will not let them weaponize our freedoms against us!
They've exploited loopholes to gain ground:
-
Religious exemptions to build segregated "compounds" (e.g., the halted EPIC City project).
-
Fraudulent nonprofit fundraising and securities scams.
-
Skipped permits and regulations to develop land unchecked.
-
Efforts to enforce Sharia zones, discriminate based on faith, and prioritize foreign laws over Texas law.
Texas is already striking back—building on my Sovereignty Shield vision:
-
HB 4211 (2025) bans Sharia compounds.
-
Designation of Muslim Brotherhood and CAIR as foreign terrorist/transnational criminal organizations.
-
Attorney General Paxton's lawsuits against EPIC City and CAIR chapters.
As Governor, I'll expand the Texas Sovereignty & Influence Shield Act to crush this threat completely:
-
Broaden terrorist designations to include any group advancing Islamist ideology or demographic strategies.
-
Require mandatory disclosures of ideological ties, foreign funding, and Sharia advocacy for all nonprofits, land purchases, permits, and state contracts—deny approval and starve resources.
-
Establish a Texas Ideology Watch List with screenings to block licenses, benefits, land deals, or operations for identified threats.
-
Enact ironclad anti-enclave laws prohibiting any HOA, covenant, or development that imposes non-Texas legal systems (Sharia or foreign).
-
Deploy deportation task forces targeting non-citizens linked to these ideologies, including family units exploiting chain migration or high-risk patterns.
-
Restrict state welfare, benefits, and incentives that enable large-scale non-citizen family growth from threat groups—redirect to real Texans.
-
Eliminate every foothold—no more loopholes, no tolerance for radicals plotting takeover via procreation or infiltration.
My Uncompromising Pledge to You:
WHEN I TAKE OFFICE, I'LL FIGHT THE RADICAL LEFT TO THE DEATH FOR OUR STATE.
I'LL BE DAMNED IF I WATCH TEXAS GET HANDED OVER TO ISLAMISTS WHO HATE AMERICANS, PUSH US OUT, OR INDOCTRINATE OUR KIDS. HELL NO!
AS GOVERNOR, I'LL TAKE TEXAS BACK AND RESTORE REAL TEXANS AS TRUE CITIZENS—ROOTED IN OUR CHRISTIAN FOUNDATION!
TEXAS IS AND ALWAYS WILL BE A CHRISTIAN NATION—BUILT UPON ITS VALUES FROM THE MISSIONS TO OUR INDEPENDENCE!
THERE IS ONLY ONE GOD, WHO GAVE HIS ONLY SON SO THAT WHOEVER BELIEVETH IN HIM SHALL HAVE ETERNAL LIFE. THE ONLY WAY TO THE FATHER IS THROUGH JESUS CHRIST!
WE'LL ARREST AND DEPORT EVERY SINGLE ILLEGAL — YOU ARE NOT WELCOME HERE!
I'M A STAUNCH CONSERVATIVE AND I'LL DIE THAT WAY—DEFENDING OUR FAITH AND FREEDOM!
WE DON'T WANT WAR — BUT IF THAT'S WHAT YOU WANT, WE ARE READY. DON'T START ONE YOU CAN'T FINISH!
THIS IS OUR CHRISTIAN STATE. THIS IS OUR FIGHT FOR GOD AND TEXAS!
The current administration started closing the doors—I'll lock them forever and throw away the key. Texas sovereignty means Texas values first—no foreign ideologies, no demographic threats, no Sharia shadows.
Stand with me—grassroots only.
Citizen-Run Government
Texans should run Texas. I'll promote citizen involvement through town halls, advisory boards, and online platforms for direct input on policies. Reducing reliance on lobbyists and empowering local governments will create a truly representative system where the people's voice drives decisions.
Texas First
Texas First means prioritizing our state's needs over federal overreach or out-of-state influences. From trade policies to environmental regulations, I'll fight for Texas interests in Washington while bolstering state sovereignty. This includes protecting our industries, culture, and way of life—because Texas isn't just a state; it's a beacon of freedom.
