Meet the candidates for U.S. House Texas District 38

Why are you running for this position?

Because we deserve more than status quo policies that only benefit the wealthy; we are worth more than the crumbs and leftovers of corporate-backed politics. We deserve a new era of politicians that don’t do the bidding of the powerful, but rather the people.

What would your top priorities be if elected?

To advocate for all citizens’ health, wealth, peace, and power. We must join the rest of the developed world in guaranteeing free healthcare for All, increasing the minimum wage to $25/hr, ending the endless wars both at home and abroad, and strengthening your political power by destroying political corruption.

What are the biggest challenges facing this district?<br>

One in ten people here are food insecure, 1 in 5 are uninsured. Many are saddled with debt stacked so high, there’s seemingly no end in sight. When the biggest challenges we face are the easiest to fix, it makes you wonder why our representatives haven’t yet. Vote Your Worth.<br>

How will you ensure your constituents receive the resources they need in a redrawn congressional district?<br>

There’s no explanation for the “richest country on Earth” to be so cheap when it comes to helping everyday people like you and I. We need someone in D.C. that will put People and Planet over Profits. Trust me with your vote, and you will see the difference immediately.<br>

What do you see as the greatest challenge for Texas in the next 5 years?<br>

Texans don’t have the ability to hold our political leaders accountable! We can’t call for recall elections, nor can we submit our own legislation to vote on. This leads to our voices not being heard. Any challenges we face will be much greater when our politicians don’t work for us!

Why are you running for this position?<br>

As a husband, father, and small-business owner, I saw our country moving in a direction that concerned me and knew I could no longer sit on the sidelines. I am running to protect the country we love and ensure our children inherit an America with greater freedom, opportunity, and security.<br>

What would your top priorities be if elected?<br>

My priorities are securing our border, protecting life, defending parental rights, protecting the Second Amendment and religious liberty, restoring medical freedom and biblical values, tackling the affordability crisis, and stopping fraud, waste, and abuse. I will put American families first, drive American innovation, and advance President Trump’s America First agenda.<br>

What are the biggest challenges facing this district?<br>

Texas-38 is a growing district with tremendous economic potential, but that growth brings real challenges. We must invest in the infrastructure our communities need, root out fraud, waste, and abuse, address the rising cost of living, and expand economic opportunity so families and businesses can build a future here. <br>

How will you ensure your constituents receive the resources they need in a redrawn congressional district?<br>

Representation starts with being accessible and understanding the unique needs of every community in the district. I will work closely with local officials, municipalities, businesses, and community leaders to identify problems, navigate federal agencies, and ensure every part of Texas-38 has a strong advocate in Congress.<br>

What do you see as the greatest challenge for Texas in the next 5 years?<br>

Texas is growing rapidly, and we must ensure that growth does not come at the expense of what made Texas exceptional. We must preserve rugged individualism, personal responsibility, and the freedoms that allow Texans to build, thrive, and create their future while unapologetically defending our faith, families, values, and traditions.<br>

Why are you running for this position?<br>

I am running to restore constitutional checks and balances and address our affordability crisis. With 20 years of volunteer lobbying experience, I have championed over 50 federal bills. Our district deserves an engaged, accessible representative who actually shows up, and puts everyday people first.

What would your top priorities be if elected?

My top priorities are restoring constitutional checks and balances, ensuring universal healthcare as a human right, and tackling our cost-of- living crisis. By addressing soaring expenses for housing, food, and healthcare, I will put everyday families first.

What are the biggest challenges facing this district?

In our district, the biggest challenges are healthcare access, affordability, and civil rights. Risks to the Affordable Care Act and tariff threats squeeze our local economy. Additionally, residents face fears from aggressive immigration enforcement and ICE impersonators.

How will you ensure your constituents receive the resources they need in a redrawn congressional district?

I will move my representative offices to accessible locations reached easily by public transit. My staff will reflect our community's diversity, and I will host in-person and virtual town halls to listen directly. With weekly newsletters, I'll ensure everyone stays connected under our redrawn map.

What do you see as the greatest challenge for Texas in the next 5 years?

Texas’s greatest challenges are the affordability crisis and infrastructure vulnerability. Federally, I will work to protect healthcare access, integrate ERCOT into the national grid to secure our power, and fully fund FEMA. Restoring checks and balances in Congress is essential to putting everyday Texans first.
