As a first-time candidate competing in a crowded field of nine primary candidates, Alex was able to secure the Republican nomination (despite being outspent 3:1) by building a grassroots campaign focused on good government and conservative principles (fiscal discipline, election integrity, freedom from COVID-19 tyranny, and support for law enforcement).

Following Alex’s narrow loss to Judge Lina Hidalgo in a severely flawed general election in November of 2022, Alex spent nearly a year and several hundred thousand dollars in a prolonged election contest seeking basic answers to the extent of voter suppression in Harris County (where the judge ruled there were numerous violations of the state’s Election Code). From that experience, Alex is now deeply familiar with the weaknesses in our existing election integrity laws and is committed to securing our elections through legislative reform.

SECURE OUR ELECTIONS – Elections should be EASY TO VOTE, AND HARD TO CHEAT. As I learned firsthand during the Harris County 2022 election, our elections are often hard to vote and easy to cheat.

The rising cost of living is crushing Texas families and small businesses. As a small business owner and former oil and gas banker, I understand firsthand how high taxes, inflation, and burdensome regulations make it harder to raise a family, create jobs, and grow a business. I will fight to cut taxes and unnecessary regulations, create good-paying jobs, and lower the cost of living so families can keep more of what they earn and businesses can thrive.

As a former athlete at West Point and a mom to a young daughter, I know the confidence, discipline, and opportunities that sports give young women. Girls deserve a fair playing field, and they deserve privacy and safety in their own locker rooms. In Congress, I will fight to protect girls’ sports and keep biological men out of women’s locker rooms.

I will be the fiercest advocate for crucial infrastructure projects to protect and grow the Houston Ship Channel and Port Houston—the largest petrochemical complex in the U.S. and collectively responsible for 20% of the Texas GDP and thousands of jobs for Texans in our region.

As a combat veteran, I know that protecting Americans is the first responsibility of government. Our open border has empowered cartels, fueled human trafficking, and brought dangerous criminal activity into our Texas communities. In Congress, I will fight to restore law and order at the border, enforce our immigration laws, and ensure law enforcement have the federal resources they need to protect Texas families.

I have spent much of my career in the oil and gas industry, which is why I understand the importance of oil and gas to Texas’ economy. I will fight to expand domestic energy production to drive down gas and electricity prices and make our country energy secure and dominant.

Artificial intelligence (AI) will shape the future of national security, economic power, and American leadership in the world. I AM COMMITTED TO ENSURING THE UNITED STATES — NOT CHINA— SETS THE PACE AND RULES FOR THIS CRITICAL TECHNOLOGY. While the Chinese Communist Party leverages advanced technology to expand surveillance, repression, and strategic influence, America must respond with strength, clarity, and resolve. That starts with protecting sensitive American data, securing frontier AI research and development facilities, and investing in the energy and infrastructure required to sustain U.S. technological superiority.
