- “Improvement of public education quality is the top priority, including vast complexities such as adequate funding methods, academic accountability standards, 'high-stakes' testing and Gov. Greg Abbott's pre-K expansion plan."
- "Texas must take border security seriously. Washington fails to enforce basic immigration laws. [Texas Department of Public Safety] funding, combating drugs and trafficking and threats of terrorist activity [are] all concerns of mine."
- "Job creation and promoting entrepreneurship are all vital to a free-market economy. Texas must remain ahead of the curve on unemployment and continue to rise in the world GDP rankings."

- "Increase funding for our fast-growing school districts by fixing our broken, out-of-date, 25-year-old school finance system; make labor and transportation costs reflect reality."
- "Reduce homeowners’ property tax burden by closing corporate loopholes so that everyone pays their fair share for the future of Texas."
- "Reduce college tuition and student debt by investing more in our state universities, reducing administrative and student service costs, and promoting community colleges as a gateway to four-year universities."
