Why My Platform Is Built on Real Bills — Not Templates or Slogans

When people visit campaign websites, they expect to see passion, ideas, and solutions.
But too often, what they find are the same generic phrases repeated across dozens of candidates.
For years, Texas elections have been dominated by “cookie-cutter” websites.
The format rarely changes:
• “Cut taxes.”
• “Support families.”
• “Back the blue.”
• “Lower spending.”
• “Strengthen education.”
These lines appear everywhere, and yet they solve very little because they don’t explain how anything will be done.
That’s why my platform is different — not because of politics, but because of facts.
I believe Texans deserve to see real legislative ideas, not recycled slogans.
I believe voters should know exactly what a candidate plans to work on, not just what sounds good in a headline.
So instead of building a template website, I built my platform on bills, truth, transparency, and real policy concepts.
Here are the facts:
1. I’m the only candidate openly addressing unconstitutional property tax practices.
Property taxes affect homeowners and renters alike.
Housing costs rise when tax burdens rise.
That’s not politics — that’s economics.
2. I’m developing the Texas Housing Fairness Act.
A factual policy concept that aligns rent and housing costs with real tax burdens.
3. I have drafted the Wounded Hero Property Protection Act.
A bill concept that ensures the families of first responders who fall or are permanently disabled in the line of duty receive property tax protection on their primary residence.
4. I have communicated these ideas directly to the Governor’s office.
This is factual — documented, not rhetorical.
5. I believe in restoring the Texas Constitution where it has been ignored.
Article 8 mandates voter approval for taxation.
The current appraisal process functions without it.
These aren’t slogans.
These are facts, grounded in law, economics, and lived experience.
People will make their own decisions — and they should.
My job is not to persuade anyone.
My job is to tell the truth about what I’m working on and let Texans judge for themselves.
That’s leadership.
That’s transparency.
That’s the foundation of my campaign.
