| Collapse all
I am a 6th generation Texan, a descendant of Lt. Col Travis the commander of the Alamo, a wife, mother of 4 children, a grandmother, a former educator, a person who has been involved in the political process since I was 16, and worker and volunteer for many non-profits
- Border Security is #1
- Further Property Tax Reform so Texans can actually own their home
- Parental empowerment is the key the education question. Parents need to direct every decision related to their child's education because they know what is best for their child, whether that be public schools, private schools or home schools.
Limited government, personal freedom, education, reining in woke policies and protection for the unborn
The conservative principles of Ronald Reagan because led by example and his policies and principles worked and shaped the American political landscape for decades. He knew how to build a free market economy through capitalism.
First and foremost I'm guided by the principles in the Bible. The personal writings of the US founders is another areas to look.
True representation of my district by listening to the needs of my constituents. You need to be servant leader and remember you work for the people not the other way around.
I am a very good listener and speaker. I have 8 years of experience at the state legislative process in Austin. I have an understanding of how the process currently works. Also, I have the tenacity to get things done.
Listen to my constituents and work to pass legislation that represents their needs and values.
I'm not concerned about leaving a legacy, I'm just their to serve the constituents of my district.
The assassination attempt on president Ronald Reagan
2nd semester junior year of college, worked for a congressman in DC as a volunteer coordinator, worked with high school and college republican clubs, coordinated volunteers for block walking, and worked campaign events.
The Bible. It gives you the guidelines to live your life by.
Watching this country continue to move to the left and take away our freedoms.
The system is set up for checks and balances. It is a working relationship and a state rep represents that district's people and what they want and need.
The border and it's security is paramount. We must find ways to have a border that allows for an immigration process that is orderly and legal to maintain the economy and sovereignty of Texas and the United States.
Property rights of Texans. We need to ensure that Texans can afford home ownership. Currently that is threatened by the huge tax burden that is incurred.
Education of our children is also key to keeping a strong economy in Texas. We currently have 5.4 million children in our schools so we need to focus on the fixing Texas public schools. We need to return to the basics of reading, writing and arithmetic instead of letting the woke left push their agenda of DEI. CRT, transgenderism so we will go back to having thriving students who aren't below grade level.
It could be but a lot of times it is not. What we don't need is more 'politicians'.
Yes. To work with colleagues is always beneficial. This gives you the ability to share your knowledge and collaborate on the issues that matter for your district.
State Rep Bill Keffer because he remembered that he was a representative of the people in his district. He was surprised that other state reps made decisions against the wishes of their districts.
While knocking on doors I came across a family that came here from Albania and they were so proud to be Americans. They understand how life is under communism. They are concerned to see the signs of communism creeping into America and wonder why we don't wake up to the threats inside the US that could take away the freedoms that we currently have. They would encourage every legal American to exercise their precious right to vote.
In very limited areas to protect the people and the sovereignty of the state of Texas
Yes I believe that compromise is necessary and we make compromises all the time. When we choose where we are going to dinner you may want chicken but the majority of the group wants pizza so you compromise so that everyone gets to eat dinner. Compromise can be a good thing when you work with groups of people. You just need to make sure that never compromise on your closely held values. Certain values are non-negotiable. Those things you will never compromise on.
I want to author a bill to get rid of the obscenity exemption. This is part of the law that allows book venders and schools to have sexually oriented material presented to children.
