Positions and priorities

A position shows what the candidate said—not FactVote's endorsement.

Each summary is supported by the candidate's own words from a campaign source, direct candidate response, or official primary record retained with the profile.

Energy Production

Candidate position

As Land Commissioner, I would support responsible energy production, fair leasing practices, and reducing wasteful spending within the General Land Office itself. More revenue from state lands can help reduce pressure for higher taxes on Texas families and businesses.

Reduce Burden On Taxpayers

Candidate position

Texas owns millions of acres of land and mineral rights through the General Land Office. Those assets should be managed efficiently and transparently to maximize revenue for Texas taxpayers and public schools, or should be sold.

for Texas Land Commissioner

Candidate position

I believe Texans deserve a Land Commissioner who respects private property, supports responsible use of our natural resources, and understands that government works best when it stays focused, transparent, and accountable. I’m running to offer Texans a practical, freedom-minded alternative that puts individual rights and common sense first. 2
