“I’m running to bring proven conservative leadership to Austin and deliver results for House District 98. As Keller’s mayor, I cut taxes, strengthened public safety and invested in infrastructure.” (Community Impact Candidate Q&A (September 1, 2026))
“Families are being squeezed by rising property taxes and everyday costs while rapid growth puts pressure on roads, infrastructure, schools and public safety. We must protect our workforce by ensuring our children receive a strong education and fight for greater accountability in government so Texas remains affordable, safe and prosperous.” (Community Impact Candidate Q&A (September 1, 2026))
“I support fully funding public schools, raising teacher pay, expanding parental rights and ensuring dollars reach classrooms. We must also reform how we fund education in this state and get rid of an antiquated school recapture system that takes over $60 million away from our local public school districts.” (Community Impact Candidate Q&A (September 1, 2026))

“I’m running to save our public schools from chronic underfunding that harms our children, property values, community values and future. I’ll fight for working families, seniors and veterans struggling to pay health insurance, property taxes and electricity.” (Community Impact Candidate Q&A (September 1, 2026))
“HD98 is struggling with fully funding our public schools, returning curriculum control to the local level and defunding private school vouchers. Next is fixing the health insurance crisis; Texas has the greatest number of uninsured people in the U.S. Ensuring affordability in housing, childcare and energy are paramount.” (Community Impact Candidate Q&A (September 1, 2026))
“We must demand budget transparency and a separate segregated education fund so we know our property taxes are not diverted elsewhere. School funding must be based on enrollment, not attendance, and the basic allotment per student must be increased.” (Community Impact Candidate Q&A (September 1, 2026))
