Sovereignty, Property Taxes, and Constitutional Balance in Texas By Freddie America
Are Texans Truly Sovereign if They Can Lose Their Homes? The Founding Fathers debated one central question: Where does sovereignty truly rest — with government, or with the people? Alexander Hamilton believed a nation must have reliable revenue to remain sovereign. Without the power to tax, a government cannot defend itself or function independently. Thomas Jefferson believed liberty begins with the individual. Property ownership, in his view, was tied directly to freedom and

The Long Game: Why Ending Property Taxes Is Bigger Than One Election
When I first entered this race, I’ll tell you the truth. I wasn’t expecting to win. That may surprise some people — but my mission was never about a title. It was about changing the conversation in Texas. And today, that conversation has changed. Property taxes are now on the table. Candidates who never mentioned them before are now promising relief. Statewide officials are talking about ending them. The issue that many said was “impossible” is now being debated openly. That

A Long-Term Vision for Texas Homeownership
I believe public service should focus on protecting the stability and dignity of homeownership. For many families, a home is not just property — it represents security, generational investment, and community roots. My long-term goal is to advance policies that strengthen property rights, increase predictability in taxation, and ensure that Texans can plan their futures without fear of sudden financial displacement. If that requires constitutional clarity, structural reform, o

Faith, Energy, and Growth: Why Texas Can Power the World
Texas has never waited for permission to lead. From the earliest ranches and railroads to oil fields, power plants, and modern technology, Texas was built by people who believed in work, stewardship, and responsibility . Those values didn’t come from government — they came from faith, family, and the understanding that prosperity follows discipline. Today, Texas stands as one of the largest economies on Earth. But our true potential isn’t measured only in numbers — it’s measu

Texas Energy First: A Vision for the Gulf, the Grid, and the Taxpayer
For as long as I can remember, I’ve believed something simple: Texas doesn’t lack energy — we lack imagination and courage. As a kid, I once heard someone say there is enough energy in the ocean’s surface to power humanity for generations. I didn’t know the science then, but the idea stayed with me. Years later, after building real systems with my hands and studying how energy actually works, I understand the truth behind that instinct: The Gulf of America is one of the great

Relieving Cost Pressure on Texas Families
A Responsible, Conservative Approach Texas families are being squeezed from every direction — insurance, groceries, housing, and daily essentials. The honest truth is this: Government cannot magically lower prices — but it can stop making them worse . My approach is grounded in fiscal discipline, economic reality, and respect for free markets. The role of government is not to replace the market — it is to remove pressure, restore accountability, and live within its means . Th

Why Home and Auto Insurance Keep Going Up — And Why It Feels Out of Control
Texans are doing everything they’re supposed to do. They work hard. They maintain their homes. They drive responsibly. They pay their taxes. Yet year after year, their home and auto insurance premiums keep rising , often dramatically — even when they’ve never filed a claim. This isn’t happening because Texans suddenly became higher risk. It’s happening because the system itself is under pressure , and homeowners are stuck in the middle. Let’s talk honestly about why. Insuranc

The False Hope: Why Giving Away Taxpayer Money Will Never Win in Texas
There is a growing belief among some politicians that promising taxpayer-funded giveaways is the fastest way to win an election. The idea is simple: give away money, expand programs, and voters will reward you. In Texas, that belief is false hope. Texans understand a fundamental truth — there is no such thing as free government money. Every dollar government hands out first comes from taxpayers: homeowners, workers, families, and small businesses already under pressure from r

Government should only grow when Texans grow. Period.
Texas doesn’t have a revenue problem. Texas has a discipline problem. Every year, government spending grows faster than the people who pay for it. Families tighten their belts when costs rise. Small businesses adjust. But government? It keeps expanding — automatically. That’s backwards. Texas needs a simple, constitutional rule: Government spending should only grow by population growth plus inflation — nothing more. No loopholes. No “emergency” excuses. No blank checks. This

Yes — Property Taxes Can Be Eliminated — Here’s the Step‑by‑Step
This is not an overnight switch. It’s a responsible process that lowers the burden every year while keeping essential services funded. Step 1: Accountability First (Stop Automatic Increases) Local governments should not be able to raise property taxes on autopilot. No property tax increase without voter approval Default growth rate = 0% unless the public explicitly approves more Step 2: Control Spending (Discipline Before Relief) Texas families and small businesses live withi

Ending Property Taxes in Texas: From Kitchen‑Table Pain to Real Solutions
I Didn’t Come to This Issue Through Politics — I Came to It Through People I didn’t wake up one day and decide to run for office because of ambition. I was pulled into this fight. As a working man and small business owner, I spend my days driving across Fairview, Nevada, Wylie, Murphy, St. Paul, Lucas, Parker, Lowry Crossing, Allen, and surrounding communities doing service calls. I’m in kitchens, garages, small businesses, and living rooms — not conference rooms. And everywh

I’m not running because of me. I’m running because of you.
Because everywhere I go — on job sites, in homes, in small businesses — people tell me the same thing. They tell me their pain. Their frustration. Their fear for the future. And at some point, you stop listening… and you realize you’re being called to act. When people ask me who I am, I tell them this: I’m just a working man. A small business owner who goes to work every day. I do service calls all across Fairview and the surrounding towns — Nevada, Wylie, Murphy, St. Paul, L

Why I am a conservative
“I’m conservative. I’m focused on property taxes. I’m independent enough to hold government accountable. I’m not here for party games.” This government has given away $6 billion without your approval has given away $13 million to left-wing extremist groups, That is not what we voted for in the last election. This government is building monuments until itself and nothing for you. This government has chosen to be unaccountable while your grocery bill is getting larger and your

A Structural Solution to Fix Property Taxes in Texas
Three Real Steps — Not Empty Promises Texans are not confused about property taxes. They are angry because the system is structurally broken, not because rates are too high in a single year. Every election cycle, we hear the same talking points: “We cut rates” “We increased exemptions” “We’ll review the process” Yet property tax bills keep rising. That tells us one thing clearly: this is not a rate problem — it is a system problem. If we are serious about fixing property taxe

The Real Crisis Isn’t Just Property Taxes — It’s Insurance
Hook (use this as the opening line): If your home is paid off but you’re still afraid of losing it, the problem isn’t ownership — it’s the system. For weeks, Texans have been debating property taxes — and rightly so. Property taxes have become a crushing burden for retirees and working families alike, forcing people who did everything right to consider selling the homes they worked their entire lives to own. But the comments I’m seeing tell a deeper, more troubling story. Tex

How Texas Taxpayer Money Gets Approved Without a Vote — And Why Property Taxes Still Exist
Texans are told every election cycle that eliminating property taxes is “too difficult,” “too expensive,” or “not realistic.” But recent legislative actions tell a different story. According to official Texas House voting records, the Legislature approved a measure authorizing approximately $5 billion in public funds to be directed toward investment and financial programs — without a direct vote or consent from Texas taxpayers. This was not a statewide referendum. This was no

I Am Fighting to Protect Teacher Salaries — Here’s the Truth Under the Texas Constitution
There’s been a lot of fear circulating lately around public education in Texas. Some are claiming that teachers will be defunded or that schools will be bankrupted if unconstitutional taxation systems are challenged. That claim is simply not true. Teachers are protected under the Texas Constitution. Public education funding is not optional — it is a constitutional requirement. Schools must be funded, and teachers must be paid. That obligation does not disappear because Texans

End Property Taxes in Texas: A Message to 35,000 Texans Demanding Real Reform
No Relief. No Reform. Texans across the state are saying the same thing: property taxes are out of control, and cosmetic fixes are no longer enough. I want to personally thank the 35,000+ members of the Eliminate Property Tax community for standing up and demanding something bigger than slogans — real, structural reform. Your voices matter. Your persistence matters. And your understanding of how deeply property taxes affect families, retirees, farmers, and small business owne

Three-Way Races Aren’t a Problem — They’re a Signal
Across Texas, we’re seeing more three-way races than usual. Some people see that and assume division or instability. I see something very different. I see voters paying attention. Three-way races don’t happen when people are asleep. They happen when citizens are engaged, asking questions, and looking closely at who is actually representing them. That’s not a warning sign — it’s a signal. What Voters Are Really Saying At every level of government, Texans are asking the same ba

Corruption Exposed, Accountability Delayed: A Dangerous Pattern
Every few weeks, a new headline appears. Billions missing. Hundreds of defendants. Largest investigations in U.S. history. And yet—no meaningful accountability. Recently, Americans learned of a $14 billion Medicare fraud scheme, now labeled the largest healthcare fraud investigation ever, involving 354 defendants. At the same time, the public is still reckoning with the Mississippi welfare scandal, where money intended for the poorest citizens was diverted by insiders and pol
