Collapse all
|I am Ryan Zink and I am running for Congress, I have spent years in both Oil and Gas, as well as AG Safety. I have had enough. It's time to restore America to her great glory. I want to restore the power back to states and to the people.
- I am Pro Life 100%
- SHALL NOT BE INFRINGED. Pro Gun and 2A.
- Secure the Border, We are being INVADED.
A deep understanding of the Constitution.
Honesty
Integrity
A back bone to stand against tyranny.
My steadfast dedication to preserve the lives of everyone in West Texas. I have never backed down from any challenge and never will.
I would like to leave a legacy that people will know that I serve Jesus Christ. That my faith is the most important part of who I am.
My first event was January 6th 2021. I was proud to stand up and utilize my first amendment rights. Unfortunately the corrupt DOJ came after me and my family and made me into a political prisoner for being entirely peaceful.
I started working at the age of 15 at a golf course as a greens keeper. I had that job until my senior year in highschool.
I have struggled with government over reach and political persecution from multiple aspects of the government, I am going to change this spending the rest of my life doing so.

Campaign website
Zink’s campaign website stated the following:
“ |
JANUARY 6TH BORDER SECURITY WOMEN'S SPORTS MILITARY DEFENDING CHILDREN ENERGY, OIL, AND GAS HEALTHCARE STAYING LOCAL FARM AND RANCH For our vitally essential crop grower’s inflation, drought, high input cost, and market uncertainty seem to always be a problem. Mix that with strict banking regulations for credit lines and you’ve got an even bigger issue. I will always be an advocate for removing the red tape it takes just to run a business. Unelected Bureaucrats with grand ideas who have never till a garden don’t need to be implementing anything without a voice from the people who do it for a living. I will always listen to the people who aren’t just good at their jobs they are “out standing in their fields”.[1] |
