Cost of living
I will pass a cost-of-living tax cut and raise wages by making the billionaires and corporations pay their fair share. I’ll take on Big Pharma and the big healthcare companies to lower prices. I’ll stop data centers from driving up utility costs.
Jobs & small business
I will champion pro-growth economic policies that create jobs, support small businesses, and lower costs for hardworking Texans. That means fighting for lower taxes, reducing burdensome regulations, unleashing American energy production, and ensuring families have greater opportunities to achieve the American Dream.
Biggest challenge for Texas
Texas is growing because of our freedom and way of life. Now, our greatest challenge is ensuring that the American Dream is protected amid rising costs on everything. We must lower costs, expand infrastructure, protect our energy industry, and preserve the freedom that makes Texas strong.
Some things are more important than perfectly fair competition in sports.
I will oppose trans athletes playing in girls' sports if it risks safety or fairness.
We must tackle corruption to bring down costs for working people. Right now, billionaires and corporations are getting tax breaks while costs are rising for the rest of us. We should ban corporate PACs and get Big Money out of our politics to make our economy work for working people.
