A Vision Forged in Experience, Built for Our Community
My vision for District 125 and Texas is deeply rooted in his life's journey—a path marked by adversity, resilience, and unwavering commitment to those often overlooked. Having navigated profound challenges, from battling for justice without legal representation to experiencing homelessness, I understand the systemic failures that impact everyday families. My platforms aren't just political talking points; they are a direct reflection of his lived experience and his dedication to creating a District 125 where justice, opportunity, and support are accessible to all.

“My leadership is rooted in faith, guided by family, and driven by a deep compassion for those often overlooked. I don’t believe in leaving anyone behind — not our seniors, not our youth, and not our neighborhoods.”

“My leadership is rooted in faith, guided by family, and driven by a deep compassion for those often overlooked. I don’t believe in leaving anyone behind — not our seniors, not our youth, and not our neighborhoods.”
✅ Lead with Compassionate Conservatism
I believe government should be a force for good — not big, not wasteful, but moral and merciful. My Christian values compel me to care for the poor, lift up the marginalized, and seek justice without vengeance. I’m a veteran, a father, and a man of faith — and I lead with both strength and heart.
✅ Support Family-Centered Values
Families are the backbone of our community. I support parental rights, school prayer, and local control of education, while rejecting divisive mandates that strip away moral foundations. I will always respect the rights of parents to raise children in line with their faith and values.
✅ Protect Homeowners & HOA Voices
I stand firmly with neighborhood associations and homeowners. I oppose incompatible rezoning that disrupts property values and quality of life. I support park improvements, ADA access, storm drainage upgrades, and street safety projects that enhance our communities — from Pipers Meadow to Great Northwest and beyond.
✅ Stand Up for Seniors & Veterans
As a 100% service-connected veteran and senior myself, I know what it means to live with both dignity and struggle. I will fight for affordable housing, reduced taxes for seniors, mobility programs, and healthcare that respects our contributions.
✅ Justice That Restores, Not Just Punishes
Justice must be firm but fair. I support law enforcement — but I also support second chances, mental health diversion, and treatment for addiction and trauma. That’s how we create real public safety — through prevention, accountability, and compassion.
✅ Champion the Forgotten Zip Codes
In every campaign I’ve run, I’ve walked the streets most politicians ignore. I know the issues north of Culebra, near Grissom, and along Bandera. I see the families who feel left out — and I pledge to bring your voice to Austin with unwavering integrity.
