“The People of Texas are hurting because our government has forgotten who it serves. Instead of protecting our rights, property, and financial liberty, the Texas government has overstepped their constitutional limits—taking authority we never gave them, overspending our money, and overtaxing our families.” (Ballotpedia Candidate Connection (2026))
“The Texas Constitution is a trust between the people and their government. But our trustees have broken that trust.” (Ballotpedia Candidate Connection (2026))
“End Property Taxes. Texans have spoken—we want them gone. Property taxes are oppressive, and we can eliminate them through a Constitutional amendment declaring them unconstitutional, with a timeline to phase them out.” (Ballotpedia Candidate Connection (2026))

“I believe government should work for the people and ensure community needs are reflected in decision making. I am running for State Representative to do exactly that, to represent.” (Community Impact Candidate Q&A (January 20, 2026))
“My top priority is ensuring District 3 has a strong voice and fully understands the power we hold when we act together. I will also focus on strengthening emergency preparedness, improving affordability, and advocating for properly funded schools so every child receives a quality education.” (Community Impact Candidate Q&A (January 20, 2026))
“Rapid growth is putting significant pressure on our infrastructure, leading to increased traffic, safety concerns, and daily frustrations for our neighbors. At the same time, inconsistencies within the appraisal district are causing unpredictable property tax increases, which directly undermine affordability for families across District 3.” (Community Impact Candidate Q&A (January 20, 2026))
