Why I’m Running for Texas State House:

Protecting the Quality of Life in the Lone Star State

Texas has long been a bastion of conservative values, economic freedom, and individual liberties. However, many Texans are concerned that the policy directions taken by Democrat-run states could threaten the quality of life we hold dear in our state. As I embark on my campaign for the Texas State House, I want to address some of these concerns.

High Crime Rates
We’ve seen a rise in crime rates in some Democrat-led cities over the past few years. While it’s important not to generalize and recognize that crime is a complex issue influenced by many factors, it’s concerning that places like Chicago and Baltimore are struggling with violence despite, or perhaps because of, their policies. As a legislator, I vow to uphold law and order, backing our police while advocating for responsible community policing.

The Homelessness Crisis
Cities like San Francisco and Los Angeles are grappling with unprecedented homelessness rates. It’s clear that their approach to this issue is not solving the problem, but rather exacerbating it. In Texas, I will work on sustainable, long-term solutions to homelessness that focus on rehabilitation, mental health services, and economic empowerment, rather than enabling the cycle to continue.

Addressing Illegal Immigration
Border security is a major concern for many Texans. In contrast to states like California, which have adopted sanctuary policies that some argue encourage illegal immigration, I will work to enforce our immigration laws while pushing for responsible and humane solutions.

Over-Sexualization of Children
The topic of sexual education and LGBTQ+ rights in schools has become highly controversial. While it’s crucial to treat everyone with respect and dignity, many parents are concerned that some Democrat-led policies are exposing children to sexual and gender topics at too young an age. As a member of the Texas State House, I will advocate for educational policies that respect parental rights and values.

The Question of Progressive Policies
From high taxes to heavy regulation, some argue that Democrat-run states are making life increasingly difficult for their residents, driving both people and businesses away. In Texas, I will fight to maintain low taxes, encourage business growth, and keep government interference to a minimum, thus protecting the quality of life for our citizens.

Conclusion
These are not just Republican issues or conservative issues; they are Texan issues that affect us all, regardless of our political leanings. I’m running for the Texas State House to protect the values and quality of life that make our state great. Together, let’s keep Texas a beacon of freedom, prosperity, and individual dignity.
