Meet the 4 Republican candidates for U.S. House District 7 in the March primary election

Why are you running for office?

The erosion of basic decency and safety in our neighborhoods is troubling, and crime rates continue to grow. These aren’t isolated problems. They’re massive failures that have been ignored for seven years. Our community deserves better. It’s time we all say NO MORE, no más.

What are your qualifications for why you’d be a strong candidate in this role?

I’m a natural-born leader with a genuine heart for serving others. I motivate others, I adapt to any situation and am skilled in amicably resolving conflict. My experiences as a funeral director and a community leader/volunteer have afforded me the opportunity to know my community: the cultures, customs and concerns.

If elected, what will be your top priorities?

I have cared for hundreds of cartel victims. Destroying the trafficking industries is a top priority. We must invest in education and trade skills training for those of ALL ages. Medical research funding must be supported! VA/Medicare/Medicaid - these programs full of bureaucratic bloat must be rebuilt and streamlined.

What is the biggest challenges facing this district and how do you plan to address these issues?

District 7 has become a crime-ridden, leaderless district. Trafficking, prostitution and murder are the new normal. It deserves a leader who will fight for it.

With district boundaries and representation changing, how will you ensure your constituents have the resources they need?

Energy, oil and gas, medical, food and beverage, education, technology and the arts are all industries within the district that benefit the entire country. I will work with my fellow representatives, community and industry leaders to introduce legislation that furthers these industries for the betterment of all.

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

We must address the harm done to our industries under the previous administration and refocus on productivity and growth. It is time to get back to work—revitalizing our oil fields, advancing medical research and fostering the creation and support of small businesses across the state.

The cost of living is preventing young families from buying their first homes, and seniors are being forced to choose between medicine and groceries.
