Texas State Senate District 11

“I'm running for the Texas Senate because families and small businesses are being squeezed, and Austin must act. As an engineer and legislator, I'll fight to lower costs, rein in insurance rates, cut regulations, eliminate property taxes, strengthen public schools, improve public safety, and invest in flood control and infrastructure.” (Community Impact Candidate Q&A (September 2, 2026))

“Our children deserve safe schools, strong classrooms, and teachers who are paid what they deserve. I will fight to fully fund public education, put safety first and ensure every student graduates prepared to succeed; whether they choose a career, the military or college.” (Community Impact Candidate Q&A (September 2, 2026))

“When disaster strikes, there's no time to build relationships from scratch. Recovery depends on preparation, trusted partnerships and decisive leadership before a storm or crisis strikes.” (Community Impact Candidate Q&A (September 2, 2026))

“My top priorities would be to address affordability for working families by tackling rising energy and housing costs, fully funding our public schools and giving our teachers and staff the pay increase and benefits they deserve, and expand affordable healthcare access.” (Community Impact Candidate Q&A (January 19, 2026))

“We must fully fund and invest in our public schools. I would repeal vouchers, increase per student allotment and base it on enrollment, raise pay and improve benefits for teachers and staff, uphold the separation of church and state in classrooms, and expand career and technical education.” (Community Impact Candidate Q&A (January 19, 2026))

“These skyrocketing costs are pricing working class families out of homes even when they already own them. I will focus on expanding targeted homestead exemptions, ensure state insurance options like [Texas Windstorm Insurance Association] are fully funded, and strengthen insurance rate oversight and consumer protections.” (Community Impact Candidate Q&A (January 19, 2026))
