Key Issues & Priorities
Standing for Liberty and Local Accountability
Our county deserves leadership rooted in principle — not politics. These are the values and priorities that will guide my decisions as County Commissioner, always grounded in limited government, individual rights, and respect for private property.
Lowering the Burden of Property Taxes
Property taxes in Texas remain a constant strain on homeowners and landowners alike. For many families, taxes have become the largest monthly expense after their mortgage.
I believe property ownership is a cornerstone of freedom — you shouldn’t have to rent your land back from the government every year. I support efforts to limit appraisal growth, expand exemptions, and seek creative alternatives to fund essential services without punishing property owners.
Responsible Land and Energy Development
Lamar County has seen increased interest in new forms of energy production, from solar to wind projects. Renewable energy can have a place in a free market — but it must respect the rights of landowners and the will of the community.
Decisions about how land is used should remain voluntary, transparent, and locally accountable. I oppose any corporate or government action that distorts the market with subsidies, mandates, or pressure on property owners.
Protecting Individual Rights and Local Freedom
Government should exist to protect your rights — not regulate every detail of daily life.
I will stand against unnecessary regulations that harm small businesses, property owners, and individuals who simply want to live free. Policy should focus on peace and prosperity, not control or punishment.
Fiscal Responsibility and Efficient Governance
Too often, government agencies grow without clear limits. I support smaller, smarter government that focuses on core responsibilities and spends taxpayer money with the same care a family uses to balance its own budget.
Efficiency, competition, and accountability should be the standards for every department in Lamar County.
Accountability and Transparency in Local Government
Local government exists to serve the people — not the other way around. Every decision made with public funds should be open to public view.
I’ll work to ensure county spending is transparent, contracts are competitive, and residents have easy access to how every tax dollar is used. When people know where their money goes, government behaves better.
