Not Woke Not Maga

It’s right:

to protect our borders, and it’s right to care for immigrants

It’s right:

to drill for energy independence, and it’s also right to invest in clean tech

It’s right:

to protect our kids online, in school and from the guns and drugs that are killing so many

I stand for the majority

Today it’s really loud on the fringes – but neither fringe represents the majority of us. Not Crazy MAGA and not Super Woke.

I’m running to represent the majority of the people in our district who want to get things done. I’ll focus on issues like border security, energy independence and protecting our kids. I’ll make you proud, working every day to build a better government.

If you’re conservative on some issues and progressive on others, I’m your candidate. If you believe it’s time to do right by our children, do right for our country, and bring some Texas independence to Washington, then join with me.

We’re the Independent Majority. It’s time for our voice to be heard in Washington.

Positions

I'm not woke.

Extreme Left

This is where things get done. This is where you'll find me.

I'm not MAGA.

Extreme Right

Our Kids

Social media builds screen time addiction (and profits). Online porn for under 18s builds unhealthy relationships (and profits). Tobacco with candy flavor builds nicotine addiction (and profits). And, drugs are killing our kids every day. We must do more to protect our children.

Energy & Environment

Drill today and invest in clean-tech for tomorrow. I want both energy independence and our grandkids to (be able to) live here.

Border & Immigration

A sovereign country must control its own border. Period. We also need to make legal immigration available to both well-qualified candidates and to well-documented asylum seekers. As a Christian, I feel strongly we should never separate a child from their family and that DACA children should be protected.

Israel

What happened should never happen. I hope they hunt down every terrorist and eliminate them. I pray for protection for the hostages, Israel’s soldiers and Gaza’s civilians.

National Debt

Let’s stop borrowing from our great grandkids. No one wants to pay for Biden-nomics or MAGA-nomics. Pretty soon, Economics will catch up: Our national debt is becoming a national security issue – interest expense will soon surpass total military spending.

China

They’ve had a “free pass” on foreign trade and human rights. Time’s up.

Russia

Putin could be our generation’s Hitler. Our grandparents defeated that dictator; it’s up to us to stand up to this one by standing up for Ukraine. If we don’t, it’ll be Poland next. Yes, it’s expensive, but Wesley’s “Neville Chamberlain” approach is, ultimately, a lot more expensive. History rhymes.

Abortion

We should work to reduce abortion without passing stringent laws that turn women and doctors into criminals. There’s no label for that, but that’s what I am.

Guns

I strongly support 2a and common sense gun safety reforms. We can do both.

Healthcare

It’s ridiculous we can’t price shop healthcare like we can anything else. Let’s negotiate prescription drug pricing and find ways to reduce costs.

Law Enforcement

I was pretty much raised by Texas DPS Troopers (who taught me how to shoot, defend myself and drive) when my father was Governor. They also taught me to back the Blue.

Taxes

I have a master’s degree in business, and I can’t file my own tax returns. There’s a problem here (and it’s not me!). We need to simplify our tax code (or maybe buy everyone a copy of “Taxes for Dummies”?)

Equal Rights

I don't care who you love, but if you don’t have any LGBT friends, you’re missing out.

Social Security / Medicare

We made a promise, and we should keep it.

Infrastructure

Like a bunch of us, I spent 4 days pulling people out of the water during Harvey. Here are some photos. I don’t want to do that again. Build the Ike Dike. Expand the Bayous.

My Faith is Central to Who I am

Politics today is all about extremism. It gets attention, but doesn’t govern well. Unfortunately, Congressman Wesley Hunt is a MAGA-extremist. Take him at his word: he recently demanded “We need Trump back now” and then voted to shut down our government.

I’m an entrepreneur with a pretty good track record. I own a border security business. I own part of an oil field in Alaska and a clean-tech business that has removed thousands of tons of CO2. I’m not Democratic Woke, and I’m not Republican MAGA. I’m Independent.

Is everything Woke or MAGA bad? Of course not. For example, I appreciate MAGA’s scrutiny on China, efforts to produce domestic energy, strengthening our borders and insistence for NATO countries to pay their way. I also appreciate the more liberal view that recognizes our unique backgrounds and differences and values them equally.

Politics is one part of my life, but it’s definitely not everything. My faith is central to who I am (to learn more, read Mere Christianity by CS Lewis). I care about many other things as well – I’m looking at you, Astros. But, here I am, watching extremism tear our country apart, and I believe I have a role to play. So, I’m in.

Texas’ 38th Congressional District starts at River Oaks to Tanglewood and Memorial to the Beltway, then north through Spring Branch, Jersey Village, Cypress, Klein and Tomball.

Join me, and let’s try a new approach to politics because we’re stronger together.
