Done. Filed. Official.
As of today, December 3, 2025, I have officially filed with the Texas Secretary of State and the Texas Republican Party. My name will appear on the March 2026 Republican Primary ballot for Governor of Texas. The paperwork is in. The fee is paid. The campaign starts NOW. Texas, we’re building the boldest, freest, most prosperous future this state has ever seen — one Cultivate Texas Act, one Texas Freedom Act, one True School Freedom Act, one Texas Sovereignty Defense Act and one Texas Sovereignty & Influence Shield Act at a time.
Let’s get to work.

In-Depth Articles: My Plan to Eliminate Property Taxes in Texas
Texans, I've published two detailed long-form articles on X outlining my complete plan to cut property taxes by 50% in my first term and achieve ZERO property taxes by 2034—with no new taxes on hardworking families.
​
Part 1 covers the Cultivate Texas Act, which funds massive tax relief through responsible cannabis legalization that empowers Texas farmers, funds schools, and crushes cartels.
Part 2 details the Texas Freedom Act, completing the Freedom Fund with capped coastal resorts and other freedoms to seal the deal on total elimination forever.
These are ready-to-file bills—real solutions, not just talk. Share with fellow Texans tired of paying rent to the government on their own land. Together, we'll cultivate a freer, fairer Texas!
