Abortion Rights: Trust Texans. Protect Choice. Respect Life.
Texans deserve the freedom to make deeply personal medical decisions without government overreach, moral grandstanding, or political games.
I support full access to abortion during the first trimester. It’s private, it’s common, and it’s no one else’s business. And when it comes to complicated pregnancies, genetic disorders, or the trauma of rape and incest, I believe we owe Texans real care. Not cruelty wrapped in legislation.
Her Body, Her Call.
Restore the right to choose an abortion with no government interference.
Treat abortion as a private medical matter, not political theater.
Reinstate protections similar to Roe-era standards that respected choice and privacy.
Full-Term Access for Trauma & Medical Necessity
Guarantee access to abortion at any stage in cases of:
Rape or incest
Life-threatening conditions for the mother
Severe genetic abnormalities
Nonviable pregnancies
End laws that force victims and families to suffer through hopeless or dangerous pregnancies.
Real Healthcare, Not Political Punishment
Expand access to clinics, OB-GYNs, and maternal care, especially in underserved areas.
Fund telehealth, prenatal care, and genetic counseling so families have actual choices, not fake ones.
Ensure rape and incest survivors get trauma-informed support, not shame.
Protect Doctors and Patients
Decriminalize abortion care and protect medical professionals from prosecution.
Safeguard doctor-patient confidentiality. No reporting requirements, no witch hunts.
Reaffirm that pregnancy should never be a legal liability.
Myths vs Facts
MYTH: “People want abortions up until birth!”
FACT: Over 90% of abortions happen in the first trimester. Later procedures are rare and nearly always due to medical complications or trauma.
MYTH: “You can just give the baby up for adoption.”
FACT: That doesn’t solve high-risk pregnancies, nonviable fetuses, or the trauma of forced birth from rape or incest.
MYTH: “Abortion bans protect life.”
FACT: Bans lead to delayed care, unnecessary deaths, and forced suffering. They don’t reduce abortion rates—they just make them dangerous.
This is the bold, reasonable, pro-Texan stance that respects life, liberty, and common sense. I will not tiptoe around extremists. I will stand up for EVERY Texan.
THE GOVERNMENT WILL BE IN YOUR DOCTOR’S OFFICE ALL THE TIME, OR NONE OF THE TIME!

Tax Reform & Economic Empowerment
We’re building an economy that works for everyone, not just billionaires or boardrooms. Everyday Texans, family-owned businesses, and local entrepreneurs deserve a tax system that’s fair, clear, and actually supports growth where it matters.
Close Tax Loopholes for the Wealthy
Collaborate with tax experts to identify and eliminate loopholes that allow high-income individuals to dodge fair taxation.
Ensure the ultra-rich contribute their fair share to the state they live in and profit from. No more rigged rules.
Free Tax Filing for Middle-Income Texans
Launch a state-sponsored, no-cost tax filing program for individuals making up to $1M annually.
Make tax season less of a financial headache and easier to navigate for working- and middle-class Texans.
Employment-Based Corporate Tax Incentives
Reduce corporate taxes based on how many Texans a company employs. Reward job creation and long-term investment in the community.
Prioritize businesses that hire local, pay fairly, and stick around, not those chasing quarterly profits.
Support for Small Business Startups
Provide no-interest loans to true small business startups with no more than 2 locations.
No payments required until the business becomes profitable.
These loans would be backed by the state, similar to how the government does VA loans.
Loan payments capped at 10% of net profits, so entrepreneurs can grow without drowning in debt.
Businesses receiving these loans may not open a third location or create new entities using the same funds—this is for real small business support, not backdoor expansions.
Close Business Loopholes on Franchises and Employees
End corporate games where giant franchises claim small business tax breaks.
Ensure franchises are held fully responsible for the rights, benefits, and fair treatment of the workers under their banner.
Let employees organize. Guarantee the right to unionize and outlaw union-busting—no forced anti-union meetings, no intimidation, no retaliatory firings.
Labor Rights & Fair Business Practices
Texas runs on hard work, not exploitation. It’s time our laws reflected that. We’re drawing a line in the sand to protect workers and ensure fairness in every workplace, from the oil field to the coffee shop.
Close Franchise Loopholes
Shut down shady legal tactics that let franchises claim “they’re not responsible” for their workers.
Make sure workers get the benefits, rights, and legal protections they deserve—no more passing the buck.
Tighten Employee Classification Laws
Stop companies from classifying full-time employees as “independent contractors” just to avoid paying health benefits, overtime, or unemployment insurance.
If you’re working full-time, you deserve full protection. Period.
Protect Unionization Rights
Guarantee every Texan the right to organize without fear, harassment, or retaliation.
Ban union-busting tactics like:
Mandatory anti-union meetings
Surveillance or intimidation
Firing or disciplining employees for organizing
-
Public Education Reform: Protect the Kids, Protect the System
No more cutting corners. No more feeding private profits with public funds. Texas deserves a public education system that protects, feeds, inspires, and educates every child while holding bad actors accountable.
End Voucher Programs & Enforce Church/State Separation
No more taxpayer money for religious or private schools.
School vouchers funded by the state will be abolished. Public money stays in public schools.
Any school accepting state funding must remain secular, inclusive, and publicly accountable.
Increase Public School Funding
Boost state funding across the board. Prioritize schools that:
Pay teachers a fair, competitive wage.
Provide all classroom supplies—teachers will no longer be expected to fund their own classrooms.
Curriculum Expansion & Modernization
Overhaul and diversify public school curriculums to build:
Critical thinking
Practical life and job skills
College and career readiness
From Pre-K through high school, Texas students will get a real education, not test prep.
Respect Teachers, But Hold Them Accountable
Teachers must be respected and protected, but only if they’re worthy of the title.
Any teacher guilty of criminal acts or gross misconduct will be immediately terminated and referred for legal action.
Incompetent teachers will lose their license and must undergo re-education or change careers.
Teachers fired from a district must face a hearing with the Texas Education Department before being allowed to work in another. No more “passing the trash.”
Public Funds for Public Schools Only
Private and independent schools can opt out of state money. But if they take it, they follow Texas public standards.
Public schools do not get to opt out. They must follow every rule and every regulation. No exceptions.
Homeschooling Oversight
Stricter homeschooling regulations will be introduced to ensure all Texas children receive a complete education.
Parental rights will be respected, but accountability will be enforced.
State-Funded Recreation Access
Every public school must have an on-campus rec center OR one within one mile of the campus.
State-funded after-school programs will:
Reduce crime
Increase community involvement
Support youth development
Safe Transfer Liaisons
State-funded liaisons will escort students safely from school to rec centers when parents are unavailable.
Working-class and low-income families will get real, hands-on support, not just lip service.
Universal School Meals
All school breakfasts and lunches will be paid for by the state.
No lunch debt, no kid shaming. If we require kids to be in school, we must care for them while they’re there.
Nutritious & Delicious
All school meals must:
Meet high nutritional standards set by a contracted, independent nutritionist.
Be confirmed by school faculty to be tasty and satisfying. No more prison-grade cafeteria slop.
Teach kids to eat healthy early and they will grow healthy.
The mind cannot where the body cannot—and vice versa.
This education platform doesn’t just talk tough—it walks the walk. It’s about building a system that gives every Texas kid a shot, supports working families, and fires anyone trying to exploit the system.

Real Democracy: Kill Gerrymandering & Bring in Ranked Choice Voting
Because Texas deserves better than rigged maps and “pick the lesser evil” politics. We’re done playing by rules written to protect the powerful. Texans should be able to vote like grown adults. Not like they’re picking the lesser evil in a hostage negotiation. It’s time for fair maps, real choice, and elections that actually represent the people not just the parties.
End Gerrymandering—Let the People Draw the Lines
Citizen-Led Redistricting Commission: A 9-member independent commission with no party balance nonsense, just Texans from across the state, vetted for transparency and fairness.
No Mid-Decade Shenanigans
Redistricting only happens once every 10 years, and we’ll make damn sure nobody redraws lines just because they’re scared of losing.
Transparent & Accountable
All map-drawing will be public. Open-source tools, public hearings, and mandatory criteria like compactness, racial equity, and keeping communities of interest intact.
Ranked Choice Voting—More Voices, Better Results
No more binary voting. Ranked Choice Voting (RCV) gives voters more say without wasting their vote. Here’s how we roll:
Top 5 Candidates Only: Any race, any seat. Only 5 candidates make it to the ballot. They must qualify through petition and registration requirements.
No More Than 2 From Any Major Party: No party gets to dominate the ballot. This opens the door for independents, third-party candidates, and newcomers with real ideas.
Voters Rank Their Choices (1st to 5th): If your #1 gets knocked out, your vote still counts for your #2, and so on. No more “spoiler” drama.
Applies to All Elections: Local, state, federal, primaries, generals. Everything. One system, simple and fair.
One-and-Done Voting: Ranked voting means no more expensive, low-turnout runoffs. Save money, save time, get real winners with real support.
Change the System at Every Level
Legislative push: We’ll work with the state legislature to pass laws. We will not circumvent their authority.
Ballot Measures: We’ll give Texans the chance to vote directly on fair maps and ranked choice if lawmakers try to stall. You want states’ rights? Cool. Let the people decide for once.
Real Reform, Real Results
End partisan gridlock. Candidates can’t just play to their base anymore. They’ll need broad support to win. Radicals won’t skate by on cult followings.
Raise the bar for campaigning. Getting on the ballot means organizing, showing up, and working hard. Not just buying a spot because you’ve got an R or D next to your name.
Bring back trust in democracy. No more feeling like your vote doesn’t count. No more “lesser evil” elections. Just real choice and real representation.
This is what democracy looks like, Texas-style. Strong, smart, and impossible to ignore.

Raise the State Minimum Wage to $20/hour:
No Texan—not the banker, the teacher, the mechanic, the janitor, or the grocery clerk—should need more than one job just to survive.
Full-time effort deserves a full-time life. If you’re clocking in, you should be cashing out with dignity.
Do not tell me we can raise the rent, but we cannot raise the pay.
Tipped Workers Deserve Real Wages. Tipping Ends in Texas:
Year 1: Transitional Pay System
Tipped workers must receive a minimum base of $5/hr from their employer, plus tips to bring total to $20/hr.
If tips fall short, employers are legally required to cover the difference. No exceptions.
All businesses using the tip credit must post signage: “This worker earns less than minimum wage. Tips are encouraged.”
Year 2: Flat $20/hr — Tipping No Longer Required
Tipping becomes voluntary and separate from wage obligations.
All employees, including servers, bartenders, delivery drivers, etc., must be paid $20/hr minimum directly by employers.
Tips are now gratuity only, not wage replacement.
Cashless Tipping App Rules:
All digital checkout systems must:
Default tip selection to 0%.
Clearly show “No Tip” as the first and default option.
All other tip options must be clearly labeled and require active user selection.
No tricks. No guilt prompts. No hidden fees disguised as “convenience” tips.
Ban Wage Abuse & Tip Loopholes:
Any employer caught:
Misclassifying workers to avoid paying the $20/hr,
Abusing tip pooling,
Penalizing workers for lost tips,
Will face:
1st Offense: $50,000 fine + full year wage audit.
2nd Offense within 12 months of 1st offense: Immediate revocation of business license + blacklisted from state contracts.
Wage Support for Mom-and-Pop Shops:
Businesses with 2 or fewer locations will get state support to bridge the gap:
Keep doors open and pay fair wages without passing the cost to customers.
We raise the floor without crushing the little guy.
Workers With Degrees Getting Screwed? Flip the Script:
Got a degree and still making $20/hr? Use that leverage. “Boss, the drive-thru pays what I make with a B.A. Fix it, or I’m flipping burgers with better benefits.”
Corporate Accountability Clause:
Big companies wanting state perks must:
Pay every employee $20/hr or more,
Provide predictable schedules,
Submit annual wage transparency reports.
No compliance? No state contracts.
Remote Work Protections, Gig Worker Fairness, and Union Support
Remote Worker Protections:
Right to Work Remotely if the Job Allows It:
If your job can be done remotely, your employer must justify in writing why you can’t do it from home.
If they can’t prove it’s a business necessity, you get to work from wherever you want in Texas.
No Mandatory Tech Stipend:
Employers may provide a monthly stipend (min. $100/mo) to cover internet, and utility costs for remote workers as incentives, but it will not be required. Employees will already be saving those additional costs by sparing the commute.
Employers must provide any equipment and/or software necessary to perform required job functions, or a stipend to purchase them.
No Surveillance Overreach:
Employers can’t require you to keep your webcam on all day or install spyware that watches your every click.
Monitoring policies must be clearly disclosed, and violating privacy laws means fines and lawsuits.
Gig Worker Classification Overhaul:
Uber, DoorDash, Instacart, Amazon Flex… we’re looking at y’all. Gig workers are no longer “independent contractors” if:
The company sets pay,
Controls schedule,
Or punishes workers for declining work.
These companies must:
Provide hourly pay of at least $20/hr,
Benefits for workers logging 30+ hours/week,
Injury protection and basic healthcare access, ◦ And allow workers to organize without retaliation.
Companies dodging classification rules will face state level lawsuits, backpay orders, and operational bans in Texas.
Union Empowerment & Protections:
Ban Union Busting: Companies caught interfering with union organizing efforts will face:
$1M fine per incident,
Public listing on the Texas Corporate Shitlist,
And barred from state contracts or tax breaks for 10 years.
Mandatory Card-Check Recognition:
If 50%+ of a workforce signs union cards, it’s automatically recognized—no stalling, no anti-union propaganda campaigns.
State-Run Union Resource Office:
Will help workers organize, understand their rights, and connect with national unions.
Strike Protection Laws:
Striking workers can’t be replaced, can’t be evicted, and can’t lose their healthcare during a legal strike.
Job Listing & Freelance Transparency Reform
Mandatory Pay Transparency in Job Listings: Every job listing in Texas must include three salary levels, clearly labeled:
Minimum: What’s offered if the applicant meets most, but not all, qualifications.
Target: What’s offered if the applicant meets all listed requirements.
Exceeds: What’s offered if the applicant brings in extra skills, experience, or certifications beyond the listing.
No “negotiable” bullshit. These ranges must be legally binding once posted. If you try to pull a bait-and-switch, you’re facing:
A $50,000 minimum fine per violation, and
Public listing in the state’s shady employer database.
Applies to all:
Full-time jobs
Part-time work
Contract gigs
Freelance offers
Temp assignments
Listings must also show if remote work is allowed, and if not, explain why in plain language.
Freelance Worker Protections:
If you hire freelancers:
Contracts must be provided in writing before work begins.
Payment must be made within 14 days of job completion, unless the freelancer agrees otherwise in writing.
Late payments = 10% interest per month owed to the freelancer, no exceptions.
Freelancers can report unpaid invoices to the Texas Labor Board, which will pursue payment on their behalf.
Companies using freelancers cannot classify them as contractors if they:
Set specific work hours,
Require daily check-ins,
Or control tools and work product. In those cases, they’re employees—pay up and offer benefits.
Staffing Agency Accountability & Worker Protections
No More “Temp-to-Perm” Schemes to Trap Workers:
No temp job should last longer than 6 months without the worker being offered a permanent position if the employer wants them.
If the worker has been on assignment for 6 months and the employer still wants them, they must offer them a full-time position with benefits and fair pay that aligns with what permanent employees in similar roles make.
If staffing agencies push workers into these “temp-to-perm” situations, they must provide a written contract outlining the job scope, the transition plan, and pay rates.
Clear Pay Structures in Staffing Contracts:
Pay rate transparency is mandatory for any job a staffing agency places a worker in.
The worker must receive at least 90% of the hourly wage that the client company is paying the staffing agency for that role.
No deductions for “administrative fees,” “service fees,” or other hidden costs. Any deductions must be disclosed and agreed upon before the worker is placed in the job.
If the worker is not paid on time, staffing agencies are legally responsible and will pay the worker the wages owed plus 10% interest.
No Worker Misclassification:
Staffing agencies cannot classify workers as independent contractors if they are doing permanent work or work that’s integral to the company (like admin, customer service, or tech support roles).
If a worker is consistently doing work that is central to the business’s core function, they must be classified as employees, not contractors. This also applies if they’re being used to fill in for a full time role.
Misclassifying workers as independent contractors to avoid benefits or taxes results in hefty fines, and the agency must pay back benefits owed to the worker, including healthcare, retirement, and paid leave.
Fair Treatment for All Workers:
Staffing agencies are prohibited from discriminating against workers based on race, gender, age, disability, or any other protected status.
If a worker feels they were treated unfairly or placed in a discriminatory role, they can file complaints directly with the Texas Labor Board.
If the agency is found guilty of discrimination, they are banned from working with state contracts and can face legal consequences.
Mandatory Exit Interviews for All Temporary Workers:
Before a worker is removed from a contract, the staffing agency must conduct an exit interview to ensure that:
The worker was paid on time and in full.
The work conditions were safe and non-discriminatory.
The worker’s feedback is taken seriously about their placement, including job quality, treatment by the employer, and any workplace concerns.
More Worker Benefits, Less Agency Profit:
Staffing agencies must offer health benefits after 6 months of service for any worker, whether part-time or full-time. Workers must be given an option to sign up for this plan, and the agency must contribute at least 50% to the premium costs.
Agencies must provide paid time off for long-term placements, even if the worker was hired temporarily.

Climate Change and Environmental Policy: Leave Texas Better Than We Found It
Texas has always been a land of pride, resilience, and beauty. But it’s up to us to ensure that future generations will be able to experience the same natural wonders that we hold dear today. The decisions we make now will determine whether the future of Texas is one of prosperity or a desolate wasteland.
Plant Trees, Protect the Land
We must take action today to preserve the land and culture that make Texas great. That means planting trees, conserving natural habitats, and respecting the legacy of the land we’ve inherited. We are the stewards of this land for the next generation, and we must act accordingly, whether we see the shade of those trees or not.
Invest in Green Energy
Texas can and should lead the way in renewable energy. We have the resources, the sun, the wind, and the tech to power the future sustainably. Let’s make green energy an integral part of our state’s economy, reducing emissions, cutting pollution, and creating jobs for a new generation of Texans.
Sustainable Land Practices
From conservation efforts to protecting our wildlife and natural resources, we need to rethink how we use and manage the land. We can’t keep treating Texas like it’s an endless supply of resources. It’s time to invest in smarter, sustainable land practices that will protect our environment for the long haul.
Leave a Legacy of Care
It’s not about what we benefit from in our lifetimes. It’s about doing what’s right for future generations: leaving behind a Texas that’s thriving, green, and full of life. We have the chance to protect what we love, and we need to act with that future in mind.
Bottom line: Let’s leave Texas better than we found it. We owe it to our children and their children to preserve the land and culture we love, so they have something to cherish, too.
-
Public Safety & Healthcare Workforce Reform
Our public safety system and healthcare workforce deserve to be respected, supported, and held to the highest standards. This plan is designed to ensure accountability, respect, and fair pay, while making sure our first responders and healthcare workers are equipped to handle the challenges they face every day.
Respect, Community, Accountability, and Fair Pay:
All law enforcement officers in the state of Texas should be compensated and protected, as appropriate for their duties and their service. They are instrumental in our criminal justice system, by keeping the peace and upholding the law. No law enforcement officer or official is above the law, but special circumstances must be taken into account to protect our peacekeepers in the performance of their dynamic and often dangerous profession.
Zero Tolerance for Domestic Violence:
Any officer accused of domestic violence will be immediately suspended with pay, pending trial. If found guilty, they will:
Serve a mandatory minimum sentence of one year in prison, with no parole.
Be permanently banned from working as a first responder in the state of Texas. No exceptions. No appeals.
Living Where You Patrol:
Officers must live in the communities they serve.
No external officers may work in a precinct for longer than 24 hours, except for special events.
Off-Duty Certification Use (Without Authority):
Officers can use certifications like medical aid or mental health expertise off duty, but:
They cannot detain, wear uniforms, or identify as police while off-duty.
Off-duty officers must always call on-duty responders for backup.
Body Cam & Transparency Reform:
Mandatory Body Cameras: All officers must wear and activate body cameras while on duty. No exceptions.
Independent Review & Release:
Body cam footage will be securely stored and monitored by an independent third party, not the department itself. Footage may only be released:
By department request
By a judge via FOIA or equivalent
As part of legal discovery
Unauthorized release of footage will be treated as a violation of both department policy and state law.
Body Cam Tampering Consequences:
Any officer who intentionally disables or turns off their body cam while on duty will:
Be immediately terminated.
Face a mandatory minimum of one year in prison, with no parole or probation.
Malfunction Protocol: Any malfunction must be reported by the end of the shift and corroborated by another officer. If both body cams malfunction simultaneously, both officers will:
Receive new cameras before the shift ends.
Be subject to immediate review to rule out foul play or negligence.
Better Pay & Career Incentives:
Officers will receive standardized base pay based on rank and time in service. Extra pay will be provided for things like:
Crisis counseling certification
Hazardous duty
Night shifts
Instructor roles
Tenure
Overtime
Retirement pay will adjust annually with the cost of living, so officers in urban or high-risk areas aren’t left behind when they retire.
School Resource Officers = Real Cops, Real Standards:
All school resource officers (SROs) will be subject to the same rigorous standards and accountability as regular officers. No loopholes for soft duty.
Crisis & Mental Health Support:
Crisis-trained staff and mental health professionals will assist in non-
criminal emergencies.
All first responders who have discharged their firearm will be required to undergo an annual mental health evaluation, conducted by independent professionals.
Hospitals Must Do Better:
Hospitals receiving state funding must reduce nurse workloads, hire locally, and meet minimum staffing standards to ensure a sustainable healthcare workforce.
State funding for hospitals will not be tied to review metrics. Funding will be tied to effective treatment, outpatient recovery experience, and in-house hospital climate survey.
Not-for-profit hospitals in Texas receiving or requesting state funding must meet established criteria. If they do not meet established criteria, the state will offer to assist the not-for-profit hospitals to reach those criteria and receive funding.
The Bottom Line: We need a public safety and healthcare system that works for Texans, not against them. By holding officers accountable and paying them appropriately for their experience and duties, supporting our first responders, and ensuring our hospitals are properly staffed and resourced, we’ll build a safer, healthier Texas for all.
-
Gun Rights and Safety: Pro-2A, Not Pro-Stupid
I support the right to bear arms, loud and proud. I also support keeping guns out of the hands of people who have no business owning one. That’s not “gun control,” that’s common sense.
Texas is full of proud, responsible gun owners, including me. But we’ve also got an issue when unstable individuals and repeat violent offenders can grab a firearm like it’s a six-pack at the gas station. That ends under my watch.
Loosen Restrictions for Responsible Gun Owners
Streamline the process for responsible Texans to purchase and carry firearms, accessories, and modifications.
Reduce red tape for law-abiding citizens who want to protect themselves, their families, or their property.
Protect and expand concealed and open carry rights (with proper training and background checks).
Tighten Access for the Dangerously Unstable
Mental illness diagnoses that indicate a risk of harm to self or others will temporarily restrict access to firearms.
Mandatory reporting from mental health professionals—with legal safeguards—to keep dangerous individuals from slipping through the cracks.
Gun rights can be reinstated with treatment, time, and court review. This ain’t about punishment, it’s about prevention.
If gun rights have been suspended, all firearms will be given to police for temporary storage. When rights have been restored, you can go pick them up from the precinct, or have them brought back to you by an on duty officer.
You will never be punished for seeking mental help! This protects everyone while ensuring you don’t lose your gun rights permanently!
No Guns for Repeat Violent Offenders
If you’re a convicted repeat violent offender, or any domestic violence-related offense, you won’t be allowed to legally purchase or possess a firearm. Nor will you be allowed to be in a vehicle or residence with one, even owned by someone else.
Households with an accused violent offender or someone behaving mentally unwell? We’ll look at safe storage requirements or temporary restrictions to protect everyone in that home, especially the kids.
Fund Gun Safety & Education
State-funded firearm safety courses for all Texans. Because you shouldn’t need to pay a fortune to learn how to carry responsibly.
Free training for first-time gun owners, youth programs, and veterans transitioning to civilian life. We teach our kids to drive, why not teach them to shoot smart, too?
Keep Government Out of Your Gun Cabinet… Unless You’re a Threat
I’m not here to track your ammo or count your rifles. But if you’re a clear threat to yourself or others, we’ll intervene fast, hard, and legally, with due process and full constitutional respect.
This stance is simple: Empower the responsible. Restrict the reckless. Protect everyone.
-
Healthcare: TexCare – Don’t Die Poor
Texas is big. Texas is tough. But it shouldn’t be so hard for working folks to get the healthcare they need. The current system is broken, and we’re gonna fix it because no one should have to go bankrupt just to survive a hospital visit.
Expand Medicaid and Medicare
It’s simple: more people need coverage. Expanding these programs means more Texans get access to care, especially in rural and underserved areas. No one should be left out because they can’t afford some ridiculous private insurance premiums.
Push for a Texas-Backed Public Healthcare Option:
We’re talking about a real, affordable healthcare option for families making under $50k per person without raising your taxes or requiring additional obstacles or paperwork. If you’re living paycheck to paycheck and don’t have access to affordable insurance, you shouldn’t have to choose between getting sick and staying broke. If the federal government isn’t doing it, Texas will.
Include psychiatry, vision, and dental in any state health insurance plans. This should be a no-brainer, but I feel it must be stated clearly. There is no good, ethical, or moral reason these are separated.
We want a healthcare system where the rich can pay for their fancy treatments, but the working class isn’t stuck paying out of pocket for basic care. You deserve better, Texas.
Bottom line: Expanding access to healthcare is a moral issue, not just a political one. Let’s put the health of Texans first, not the profits of insurance companies or the fear mongering of the media.
-
State-Operated Shelter Apartments:
Launch state-funded apartment complexes that provide long term transitional housing. Not just cots in a gym.
Units are professionally maintained, monitored, and regularly inspected by state officials to ensure dignity, safety, and basic human decency.
No stay limit. Residents can remain until they are financially stable and able to lease or purchase a home.
After 6 months, each resident’s case will be re-evaluated by a caseworker. Those still unhoused will be moved to priority status for state services including:
Job placement and retraining
Mental health or addiction treatment
Healthcare, disability benefits, or housing programs
No Family Separation: No restrictions on families, spouses, children, or pets. Everyone gets shelter. No exceptions, and no splitting households.
Integrated Support Services On-Site. Every complex will include access to:
Job training & placement
Free transportation assistance
Meal programs and hygiene support
Healthcare, therapy, and case management
Zero Tolerance for Religious Coercion:
Faith-based organizations may only participate if they meet all state standards and do not require religious participation, prayer, or faith-based conversion programs.
Services must be secular, professional, and optional in nature. We help people heal, not convert.
-
Housing Accessibility & Ownership Reform. Put Texans First:
Foreign individuals and corporations will be banned from purchasing single-family homes in Texas. Housing belongs to Texans, not to overseas investors or corporate real estate vultures.
No exceptions. Even inherited single-family homes from outside the state or country must be either occupied by the inheritor or sold within a set time frame. Housing is for people, not portfolios.
Progressive Property Tax on Excess Homeownership:
Multi-home ownership is fine, up to a point. After that, it’s time to pay up:
3rd home: +100% property tax
4th home: +200% property tax
5th home: +300% property tax
To continue +100% property tax per additional home
This is designed to curb real estate hoarding and bring homes back into the hands of actual residents.
Any attempt to circumvent this policy by listing others erroneously as owners will be treated as tax evasion and charges will be pressed by the state.
Protect Renters from Landlord Greed:
Landlords cannot pass the cost of these tax hikes onto tenants. Period.
Renters deserve safe, affordable housing without being squeezed to fund someone else’s investment empire.
Renters’ & Owners’ Rights Reform
Renters’ Rights Protections:
Establish a Renter’s Bill of Rights, including:
Legal caps on rent increases per year based on inflation, not market greed
Mandatory grace periods before eviction can be filed
Stronger enforcement on property maintenance and habitability
Faster resolution of disputes through tenant-landlord mediation offices
Property Owner Protections:
No Squatters, No Exceptions. Texas will pass clear legislation outlawing squatting. If someone breaks into a home or refuses to leave after a lease ends, they’ll be treated as trespassers, not magically converted into tenants.
Simplified legal processes for homeowners to remove unauthorized occupants with law enforcement support.
Anti-harassment protections for small landlords dealing with abusive tenants.
Balanced, Fair Housing Laws for Everyone:
These reforms will protect renters from exploitation and protect homeowners from being bullied by bad-faith actors.
Housing is a right, but property ownership is also a responsibility. The law should defend both.
-
Immigration Reform with Humanity. Secure the Border. Support the People. Be Decent.
Texas deserves a border policy that actually works. One that defends our communities without treating human lives like political props. We’re not interested in cruelty for clout. Our plan is tough, fair, and grounded in real Texas values: family, freedom, and not putting up with federal agencies running wild.
Secure the Border WITHOUT Losing Our Soul.
We’ll secure the border with smart solutions, not performative nonsense. More boots on the ground, yes, but also drones, sensors, and tech that catch traffickers and cartel smugglers without harming families just trying to survive.
We’ll properly fund and protect border cities and towns, making sure they have what they need to manage immigration, legally and humanely.
This isn’t just a border. It’s home to millions of Texans. It deserves respect, not neglect.
ICE Is Broken. We’ll Fix It.
Texas will lead by becoming a sanctuary state. If the federal government won’t reform ICE, we’ll do what Texans always do: take care of our own.
We’ll refuse to let state and local law enforcement be used as ICE’s pawns. Local police are here to protect all residents, not to carry out mass deportation campaigns.
Our administration will advocate for federal ICE reform, including oversight, accountability, and mandatory training on human rights and due process.
Process People, Don’t Punish Them.
We’ll provide legal access and due process for immigrants and asylum seekers. Because Texas doesn’t believe in holding people in cages for trying to survive.
Family reunification will be a priority, not an afterthought.
Overstaying a visa or making a paperwork mistake won’t be treated like a felony. Instead, we’ll guide people back to immigration officers to review their case. Because not every situation deserves deportation.
Zero tolerance? No thanks. We use common sense here.
Real Pathways. Real Respect.
Support Dreamers and DACA recipients—they’re already Texans, and we treat them like it.
Launch guest worker programs and seasonal visa tracks, so employers get the help they need and immigrants can work legally and safely.
Create clear, fast paths to legal status for people who are contributing to our economy, our communities, and our future.
Tough on Criminals. Compassionate with Families.
Let’s be real: if someone commits a violent or serious crime, they’ll face justice. Texas doesn’t mess around with public safety.
But for the rest? We offer a fair shake and a real path forward.
You want Texas values? This is Texas values. Fairness, decency, and a backbone.

Taxes: Stop Screwing the Poor Act
Texans are tired of watching billionaires dodge taxes while the middle class foots the bill. It’s time we flip that script.
I believe in cutting taxes for working Texans. Because you’re already getting steamrolled by inflation, rising costs, and greedy corporations. But if you’re pulling in millions? You’re gonna start to pay your fair share.
Tax Cuts for the Poor and Middle Class
Slash income taxes for working families and the middle class.
Expand property tax relief for homeowners and renters.
People who own a home and are without children should get a tax refund when filing taxes annually. Families with children get a child tax credit, families without children should get a property tax credit.
Support small businesses and local entrepreneurs, not mega corporations that offshore everything but their profits.
No New Taxes on the Poor or Middle Class unless taxes are also being raised on the wealthy
No increased sales taxes, property taxes, or fees.
No more taxing groceries, formula and diapers, medicine, or things Texans actually need to live.
Make The Wealthy Pay What They Owe
Close corporate tax loopholes and crack down on tax-dodging shell companies.
Hit luxury assets like private jets, mega-yachts, and $10 million mansions with fair-use taxes.
Ensure Texas oil and tech giants are paying their dues.
Properly enforce estate and inheritance taxes.
Why It Matters
We don’t have a budget crisis, we have a greed crisis. Teachers shouldn’t be buying pencils out of pocket while someone is writing off a third vacation home. This plan puts money back in the hands of Texans who actually need it, not those hoarding it offshore.
[TAX PROPOSAL GRAPH]
Quick Breakdown:
Poor and Middle-class get serious relief (0% flat rate up to $100,000).
Upper Middle-class to Wealthy (10% at 1M, 20% at 2M, 30% at 3M)
Ultra-wealthy get taxed like they should (40% at $4M and 1% increase per extra million after $5M)
Compared to current rates, my plan cuts the burden for average earners and slaps a “pay your share” surcharge on the wealthy.

State Water Standards & Access:
Texans have the right to clean, healthy, and good-tasting tap water without exceptions.
The state will cover up to a fixed amount of water usage per individual to ensure basic human needs are met.
Water quality standards will be strictly enforced by state agencies, with transparency and a focus on community support rather than punishment.
Municipalities that consistently fall short will receive targeted state funding and technical support to upgrade infrastructure, not just fines.
Infrastructure Investment for Resilience:
Major investments will be made to modernize water systems, storm-water drainage, sewage treatment, and drought resistant infrastructure.
Prioritize upgrades in communities most affected by outdated systems, extreme weather, and underfunded local governments.
Integrate climate-adaptive planning to future-proof Texas against floods, droughts, and power grid stress.
Energy Equity & Low-Income Support:
Electric companies that voluntarily lower rates in low income areas will receive state subsidies as a reward for making energy affordable.
State-funded energy assistance programs will expand to ensure no Texan is left without power, heating, or cooling due to cost.
Texans living in energy-inefficient homes will be eligible for low-cost weatherproofing upgrades, including insulation, storm windows, and efficient HVAC systems.
Grid Security & Renewable Energy Incentives:
Texas will invest in hardening the power grid to prevent another Winter Storm Uri disaster. We must upgrade transmission lines, expanding battery storage, and enforcing cold weather standards.
Offer tax incentives and grants for homeowners and businesses that install solar panels, battery backups, or participate in community energy programs.
Push utility companies to integrate renewable energy sources and diversify power generation, reducing dependence on any single energy type.

Financial Fairness Reform
Texans shouldn’t need a spreadsheet, a lawyer, and a bottle of whiskey just to borrow money. We’re done letting lenders run wild while everyday people drown in debt.
Credit Card Interest Rate Cap:
Cap all credit card APRs at 10%. No hidden “intro rates,” no trap doors.
This shuts down predatory bullshit and gives Texans a fair shake at financial recovery and responsible credit use.
Personal Loan Rate Cap:
Cap all personal loan rates at 20%. You shouldn’t pay double just for needing help. We protect Texans, not those who want to take advantage of them.
Debt Consolidation Loan Rate Cap:
Cap consolidation loan rates at 10%. If someone’s already in debt and trying to clean it up, don’t nail them to the wall. Give them room to breathe and rebuild.
Payday Loan Reform:
Cap payday loan interest rates at 25%. These companies make money off Texans with nowhere else to turn. We say no, they’ll play fair or they’re out.
Auto Loan Rate Cap:
Cap all vehicle loan interest rates at 15%. If someone needs a car to get to work, they shouldn’t pay luxury fees just because their credit took a hit. Transportation is a necessity, not a privilege.
Texans will not be price-gouged just for being broke. We’re putting power back into the hands of the people, not the banks.

Y’all means All. LGBT+ Rights Are Human Rights.
This isn’t complicated. LGBT+ Texans deserve the same rights, respect, and dignity as everyone else. Whether you’re cis, trans, straight, gay, bi, or anything in between, you are part of this state, part of our community, and you are Texans.
Same Rights for LGBT+ Folks As Everyone Else. No More, No Less.
That means trans healthcare, marriage equality, bathroom access, and equal treatment in every aspect of life. Your gender or sexuality doesn’t dictate your rights, your humanity does.
Cis-gendered, straight men and women get gender-affirming care all the time. What do you think urologists help with? What about dermatologists or plastic surgeons? Stop making healthcare a political issue.
People have had preferred names and identities since Texas existed. You don’t have a friend named Ted whose name is actually Raphael? You don’t have a grandmother that wants to be called Nana or MeeMaw? Stop making identity a political issue.
Dignity, Respect, and Equality
Texans are built on respect and unity, and that’s exactly how we should treat our LGBT+ neighbors. We’re stronger when we come together, not when we tear each other apart. So let’s make sure decency and respect are the core of everything we do in this state.
Standing with Our People
This isn’t just political rhetoric. This is about treating LGBT+ people as family because they are family. It’s about ensuring everyone, regardless of who they love or how they identify, has a fair shot at life, liberty, and the pursuit of happiness.
Bottom line: Full, unconditional rights for all Texans. Because decency and respect don’t have a damn thing to do with gender or sexuality.

Cannabis Legalization: Blaze It Responsibly
Texas deserves a cannabis policy that’s smart, fair, and rooted in common sense, not outdated fear-mongering.
Legalize Recreational Weed in Reasonable Amounts
Texans should be able to light up without the law breathing down their neck. If you’re carrying for personal use, you’re not the problem.
Legalize, Regulate, and Tax Dispensaries
Let Texans open dispensaries legally, and set a fair tax rate that helps the state without killing small businesses. We’re talking freedom and fiscal responsibility.
Crack Down on the Real Criminals
You’ve got 30 pounds in your trunk? Yeah, you’re not just a fan of edibles. We’re criminalizing large-scale trafficking, not grandma with arthritis.
Invest the Tax Revenue Where It Matters
All cannabis tax revenue will go directly to other proposed reforms with real results. Reinvesting in communities.
Bottom line: Legalize the plant. Protect small business. Fund the future. And stop locking people up for getting high on their own couch.
-
Mental Health & Addiction Care:
Treat addiction and mental illness with licensed professionals, not cops or jail cells.
Re-establish state-run psychiatric hospitals for Texans needing long-term care with proper:
Inpatient mental health treatment
Addiction recovery programs
Dual-diagnosis support
Court-referred or voluntary admission with rights protections
Mental illness is not a crime and we will no longer treat it like one.
-
Total Transparency in Data Collection & Monetization:
Every agency, app, website, or business that collects, scrapes, or sells personal data must disclose to the individual:
What data is being collected
Why it’s being collected
How it’s being used or sold
Who it’s being sold or shared with
How it’s being monetized (ads, profiling, resale, etc)
All disclosures must be understandable within 15 minutes by a 9th grader. If it’s confusing or buried in fine print, it’s a violation.
No More “Terms & Conditions” Loopholes:
Terms & Conditions must be in plain language.
Cannot exceed three mobile scrolls.
If it’s legalese soup or misleading? It’s invalid.
Real Penalties with No Escape Routes:
First Offense: 5% of annual gross revenue.
Second Offense: 10% of annual gross revenue.
If a subsidiary ducks the fine, parent company pays. No exceptions.
Right to Be Forgotten:
Texans can demand deletion of their personal data
Companies must fully erase all records within 30 days
Failure = automatic fine
Mandatory “Opt-Out of All Tracking” Option:
Must be a one-click option to opt out of:
All tracking
Targeted advertising
Behavioral profiling
And it must be visible before any data is collected.
Digital Literacy for All:
Launch statewide Digital Rights & Cyber Hygiene curriculum in public high schools.
How to protect your data
Spotting online scams
Understanding social media and propaganda
Understanding privacy policies
Taking control of your digital footprint
Hold Data & Cell Carriers Accountable for Spam Calls & Texts:
If your phone rings 6 times a day with spam, you’re not alone. It needs to end.
Telecoms and data brokers will be held liable if:
They sell or leak numbers used for spam
They fail to block known robocallers or text spam
They don’t verify the legitimacy of mass text/call campaigns
Minimum fines of $1,000 per verified spam complaint.
Repeat offenders lose licensing rights in Texas.
Carriers must offer free robocall/spam filters to all Texans. No paywalls.
