This is a Republican primary race.  Do you promise, if elected, to abide by the RPT platform? And if not, please enumerate what problems you have.

I have no disagreement with the GOP platform 

Do you support Interposition and Nullification as it pertains to Texas State Sovereignty?

I am in complete agreement with both. The Left practices nullification and interpolation over drugs, immigration policy and sanctuary cities yet the right thinks we still need to ask the courts permission to follow the Constitution. 

What do you primarily rely on to help you make difficult decisions as it relates to public policy?

The Constitution. 

What is the most important problem you see that needs to be addressed by the position your running for and what do you propose to solve it?

The underlying problem that will hamper any and all other solutions as it relatest to issues of life, liberty, taxes, education, transportation and criminal justice reforms is the Speaker of the Texas Housenergy and how they are chosen. The one and only solution is for the Republican caucus to select the next Speaker. If the Speaker is chosen by the Democrats it will mean another session where the House blocks our Governor, Lt Governor and the will of Texas voters. 

 

What are the three main reasons you are running for this office? Do you see any potential conflicts of interest?

1) The Republican party has lost its way.

Those who know the way have lost their spine and refuse to stand up.  I did that in the 83rd Session and I'll do it again. 

2) The current tax burden Texas has placed on families will kill the Texas Miracle if we don't stop it  

3) Abortion is a scourge and blight on our land and if incremental steps are the only way to stop it then I will do all that I can to stop it  

4) 55% of Milenials believe that Socialism is a superior system to capitalism and a Republican form of governance.  Rebuilding our education system is imperative.

What differentiates you from your opponents?

I am a proven conservative who has stood against the enemy of the Republican party platform. My opponent stood for Joe Straus when 9 out of 10 Precinct chairs took a stand against him.  

Do you support or oppose English being the state language? Why?

Yes.  ESL classes hinders the rest of the kids in our education system 

Do you favor term limits? Please explain why or why not.

Yes I do supoort them but I wonto supoort thr Democrats supoort for term limits if it only applies to State wide offices held 100% by Republicans.  I'll only supoort it if my office is included. We need it because corruption runs deep in Austin and DC and the longer people are there the greater the risk of being there for the wrong reason. 

Please list at least two improvements that can be legislated to prevent the abuses of Special Purpose Districts by developers.

End gerimandered districts 

Require all BOD meetings be held within thE geographic area of thexpertise MUD

Please describe your plan for balancing the Texas budget. What budget items need to be cut and what taxes and fees need to be increased?

Items cut

Agencies including

TEA and the ESC's

Funding Cuts

Corporate entitlement programs

Tuition Revenue Bonds

Funding for the arts

Will you commit to reduce the size of government at all levels by a specific date, so that total spending would not exceed 8% of total personal income (which includes corporations and other business entities as well as individuals) at the federal level, 5% at the state level, and 5% at the local level?

Yes. 

What is your view regarding reducing or eliminating property taxes in favor of increased sales taxes and increased user fees?

I visited Stafford, Texas and their Mayor in 2013.  If a Democrat can run a city with no property taxes and no debt on .02 cents then we can as well. 

What firearm and carry restrictions should Texas government require of citizens? Why?

None. Criminals and the driminally insane done follow laws, thus the only people who would follow them would be law abiding citizens 

The residency law, as it pertains to Voting in Texas, is ambiguous at best. Some have been selectively prosecuted, while others receiving compensation (cheap rent), have been allowed to skate. Will YOU carry legislation that clarifies this ambiguity and if so, generically speaking, what will it say?

I would elliminate the Snow BiRd provision forcing voters to chose a permanent place of residency. 

Many Texans have made the decision to live in unincorporated areas and forgo the “benefits” of living within a city in order to secure more personal liberty and freedom. Yet, when incorporated areas overspend and live beyond their means, those incorporated areas, with the blessings of state government, are allowed to assert a claim to the private property of those who have chosen to remain apart from those incorporated areas. How will you correct this?

This ended in the 85th Session.

Do you support or oppose limiting the power of eminent domain to public works purposes? Support Oppose

ED for personal private purpose is unconstitutional and I will continue to fight it  

Please list the top issues where you oppose federal government intrusion into Texans' lives and how you intend to oppose such intrusion.

Abortion and natural life to natural death- nullification 

2nd Amendment- same

Securing our borders- same

If you were able to fix how public education was funded, how would you do it and why?

100% parental choice

Education dollars follow kids and teachers and not the other way around. 

Locally elected ISD's to adopt their own standards with SAT's being the only high stakes testing upon graduation from high school

Elliminate compulsory education. 

Teach the trades again

Teach civics again

Outlaw common core

Will you vote to prohibit the use of state funds to teach immigrants in their native languages, instead of English (so-called bilingual education)?

ESL hurts immigrants and English speaking kids. 

Immersion education is the most effective way

Please describe your views on gambling as a funding source for education and other budget items, and whether gambling should be expanded or reduced along with the reasons supporting your viewpoint.

The State Lottery targets the poor. "A dollar and a dream" is a scam to separate undereducted people who are down on their luck. Like all dedicated funds in Texas, it's just another tax that puts money in the general fund for wastefull spending 

Is there anything in your background of an embarrassing nature that should be explained before your election? Arrests/Convictions? Bankruptcys?

No

Please fully describe what methods of funding roads in Texas you will support and oppose, and give your reasoning. Please discuss all revenue sources, tax diversions, tolls, and debt.

We raise plenty of money through gas taxes and oil and gas severance tax. We need to actually take those dedicated funds and begin using them for transportation only. 

In less than 10 years, the GOP-controlled legislature has departed from pay-as-you-go road building and instead plunged Texas into $31 billion (principal & interest) in road debt rather than end road tax diversions (gas tax and vehicle sales tax) and use our existing taxes to properly fund roads. Under Perry's leadership, they’ve also bought into public private partnerships that undermine our state sovereignty over our public infrastructure by handing control of our public roads to private, foreign toll operators in 50 year sweetheart deals. How will you end the transfer of Texas sovereignty & protect existing tax funded roads?

I will vote to end the diversions and P3 funding.
