Reason for Seeking Public Office:
I believe in America, and I believe in the future of Texas -- but we must have the right leadership. We must stand firm for the conservative principles of faith, family and freedom which you and I hold dear. I have a heart for public service and seek to be an effective voice for our conservative values, a leader who will seek to govern with integrity, transparency and accountability. I pledge to conduct myself in the highest ethical manner while serving as your citizen legislator.
My commitment is to provide principled, conservative leadership for Rockwall and Collin Counties. I'll be a forceful advocate for our traditional values of faith and family, and I will always stand for the unborn. I also believe that Texans must stand firm against a federal government which threatens our freedoms, liberties, and our economy.
