Leadership That Works

Marine Veteran • Father • Texan

Texas needs a governor who understands real work that makes you break a sweat, serves with honor and empathy, and gets things done. Not another career politician making promises they cannot keep.

Fighting for a Texas That Is Equal and Affordable

I am a native Texan, father, and retired Marine veteran. Like many of you, I know what it means to raise a family, work multiple jobs, count every dollar, and overcome personal adversity.

My focus is serving everyday Texans, not donors and insiders who cut to the front of the line. I am fighting for the seniors who built this state, the families and workers who keep us strong, and the children and youth who will lead us forward.

Texas deserves leadership with real experience, practical solutions, and a heart for the people. Together we can build a future where every Texan has the freedom, opportunity, and security to thrive.

Real Experience. Real Solutions.

I am a retired Marine who has spent a lifetime serving others. I know what real leadership looks like, and Texas deserves nothing less. As governor, I will bring common sense solutions rooted in working-class values to clean up 30 years of abuse and corruption.

My core belief is simple: treat others the way you want to be treated. As governor, I will fight for a Texas that is inclusive, prosperous, and forward-thinking, where every Texan has a voice and is treated with dignity when they are most vulnerable. I'm still a Marine at heart: leave no one behind.

But abuse of power by Greg Abbott, Ken Paxton, and Dan Patrick has left too many Texans behind, struggling to make ends meet and doubtful about their children's future. I never dreamed I would run for political office until they finally pushed me too far. Now I'm stepping up, because I know many of you feel the same way.
