“Our district deserves strong, effective conservative representation in Austin. I’m running to lower property taxes, get criminals off the streets and into jail, grow our local economy, fight growth in insurance rates, and continue to improve education and put control into the hands of parents.” (Community Impact Candidate Q&A (September 4, 2026))
“Texas voters already approved dedicating $1 billion per year to water projects for the next 20 years without raising taxes. I will ensure these funds are spent responsibly and that our region gets our fair share of funds for water resources and, just as importantly, flood mitigation.” (Community Impact Candidate Q&A (September 4, 2026))
“Property tax relief, crime and education. On crime: judges here in Harris County routinely let violent criminals out on bail who turn around and reoffend.” (Community Impact Candidate Q&A (January 23, 2026))

“My priorities are to fully fund public schools and repeal the school voucher program. Vouchers take money away from our students and teachers without accountability.” (Community Impact Candidate Q&A (September 4, 2026))
“Improving our infrastructure for flood management and reliable power to reduce the risk before disaster strikes. Making homeowners insurance affordable is critical to ensuring we can rebuild after a disaster.” (Community Impact Candidate Q&A (September 4, 2026))
“Brighter futures start with fair coverage. Families in HD 129 face real risks from hurricanes and floods—but that doesn’t mean we should be punished with the highest home insurance rates in Texas.​ It’s significantly cheaper to prepare for storms than to rebuild afterward. Resilient Texans deserve real relief, and smart investments in prevention and mitigation pay for themselves.” (Campaign website (votewittliff.com))
