 · STRENGTHEN PUBLIC SAFETY AND ENFORCE THE LAW
Support policies that deny bail to repeat and violent offenders and ensure our justice system prioritizes community safety. Recent reforms are a step forward, but stronger enforcement is needed to reduce repeat crime and keep our neighborhoods secure.

· DEFEND PARENTAL RIGHTS AND PROTECT CHILDREN
Ensure parents remain the primary decision-makers in their children’s education and well-being. Continue strengthening safeguards in public schools and hold individuals and institutions accountable for actions that put children at risk.

· PROTECT TEXAS FROM FOREIGN ADVERSARIES
Advance legislation that prevents hostile foreign governments from acquiring Texas land or influencing our institutions. Texas policy must prioritize security, transparency, and independence from foreign interference.

· ADVANCE REAL PROPERTY TAX REFORM
Current policies only slow the rate of increase. Texas needs structural reform that delivers measurable, long-term property tax relief for homeowners and small businesses.

· IMPROVE ENERGY RELIABILITY AND REDUCE COSTS
Build on recent legislative progress to strengthen the grid, reduce outages, and stabilize electricity costs. Continued, targeted action is needed to deliver consistent, affordable energy for Texas families.

· SHOW UP AND REPRESENT CONSISTENTLY
Provide active, engaged representation in Austin, focused on listening, responding, and delivering on the needs of the district.

· ADVOCATE FOR DISTRICT PRIORITIES
Translate community input into clear legislative action, ensuring the priorities of HD 149 are consistently represented and advanced.

· STRENGTHEN ELECTION INTEGRITY
Support enforcement measures that improve accountability in voter registration processes and ensure election systems operate with accuracy and transparency. More consistent oversight is needed to maintain public trust.
