Where Austin stands

What areas of public policy are you personally passionate about?

I’m a lunchbox American: a tradesman, homebuilder, husband, and father who knows what it means to decide what we can afford and what has to wait. That’s why I’m passionate about taxes, immigration, housing, and AI. I want working people to keep more of their paychecks and afford a home and a family. As a first-generation American, I believe in secure borders and a lawful immigration system that works. AI should protect our children and respect workers, with both companies and government having a kill switch if it threatens people. The American Dream should be something working families can afford, not just something politicians talk about.
