Fighting for the Future of America
Our country is at a historic inflection point. We will either renew our faith in God and freedom, or we will submit to the rise of socialism and the tyranny of a woke and weaponized federal government.

Securing the Border
The most imminent threat to America's national security is our wide-open border fueled by the failures of President Biden and Border Czar Harris. This administration’s refusal to secure the border and enforce the laws of the land is jeopardizing the safety and security of the American People.
It is clear to any honest and objective person living in this country that the Biden-Harris administration has willfully encouraged an invasion of the U.S. – abdicating their first and most important responsibility of providing a common defense - and ceded control of our border to narco-terrorist drug cartels.
The consequences of these failures have been disastrous. Millions of unchecked illegal aliens have flooded into our communities, many of which have ties to terrorist groups like ISIS and al-Qaeda. Migrant crime has skyrocketed across the country, and states like Texas have had to spend billions to pay for the disaster.
It simply cannot continue. I have been to the border several times, working on the ground with local officials, law enforcement, and even the national guardsmen who all tell me the same thing: The Trump border security policy worked.
I am laser focused on restoring the measures that work - like "Remain in Mexico" and ending "Catch and Release" - and will continue fighting to secure our border and defend Texans.

Restoring Fiscal Responsibility
The fiscal state of our country is in rapid decline, which is why reining in Washington's woke and wasteful spending has been a top priority for me since my first day in Congress.
President James Madison said, "A Public Debt is a Public Curse." Our national debt has surpassed $35 trillion while the interest we pay on the debt now costs us more than we pay for national defense!
I'm proud to serve as the Chairman of the House Budget Committee and work every day to "Reverse the Curse" of our unsustainable national debt and restore fiscal sanity in Washington. If we don't rein in the out-of-control spending and confront the crushing national debt soon, we will rob our children and grandchildren of the America we have enjoyed.
In my short time as Chairman, we passed a balanced budget out of committee for the first time in 5 years, put the spotlight on wasteful government programs, and passed reforms to the broken budgeting process in Washington. However, we must keep fighting if we hope to "Reverse the Curse" and stave off a sovereign debt crisis.

Ag & Energy Independence
Food security and energy independence is national security, and the hard-working cowboys, plowboys, roughnecks and roustabouts in West Texas feed and power not only our country, but the world.
I'm so proud to represent the 19th Congressional District of Texas, the FOOD, FUEL, and FIBER Capital of the World - home to oil, gas, and wind energy production in addition to the largest cotton patch in the world!
These industries are the lifeblood of our economy and the breadbasket of our nation, which is why I understand just how important it is to support rural America and defend our ag and energy producers from the regulatory burdens coming down from an out of touch and overreaching federal government.
Whether it be restoring cotton to the farm bill, establishing a four-lane federal highway through the region, or blocking an expansive federal land grab, I have always made standing up for rural America and our ag and energy producers a top priority - and always will!

Strengthening the Military
The single most important responsibility of the federal government is to provide for a common defense, and the best way to defend America and her interests is providing the most capable, professional, and lethal military fighting force in the world.
My Congressional District is home to Dyess Air Force Base, which is one of two bases in the country that houses the B-1 bomber. Working closely with the Abilene community and others, we’ve been able to ensure the B-1 bomber is upgraded to handle all current threats while also securing Dyess as the home of the next generation bomber, the B-21 Raider.
While we must ensure our active military has the resources they need to fight and win wars, we cannot forget our veterans who have worn the uniform and deserve our support for the sacrifices they have made to secure our freedom. My district is home to over 30,000 veterans, and I am proud to have delivered quality of care improvements to the V.A. while also securing a grant for the City of Lubbock to establish the West Texas State Veterans Cemetery - the first new Texas State Veterans' Cemetery in 12 years - so our heroes can receive a proper burial at home in West Texas.
I am motivated to continue working to ensure that our military is laser focused on the mission - combatting woke and waste at the Pentagon so that our next generation of servicemembers are not trained in pronouns, but how to fight and win wars - and that veterans receive the quality services they deserve from the country they bravely defended.

Defending the Constitution
Reining in Washington, restoring freedom, and returning power back to WE THE PEOPLE must be our daily prayer and pursuit if we are to keep our Republic.
In recent years, we have seen our civil liberties and American values endure an all-out assault from the Radical Left, who are attempting to fundamentally transform our great Republic into a socialist nightmare.
Democrats in Washington applaud the persecution of their political rivals, usurping parental authority and control for indoctrination of our children, weaponization of the justice department and federal law enforcement, lawfare against private citizens and businesses…..the list goes on and on.
The good news is, this is not Castro's Cuba or Chavez' Venezuela. But, as Ronald Reagan put it, "Freedom is a fragile thing and it's never more than one generation away from extinction. It is not ours by way of inheritance; it must be fought for and defended constantly by each generation, for it comes only once to a people. And those in world history who have known freedom and then lost it have never known it again."
I will never stop fighting to preserve the rule of law and defend our Constitution. I hope you join me.

Promoting WTX Values
WTX is known for a lot of things. We're the largest oil patch in the world - producing more oil than Russia - we're the largest cotton patch in the world - producing a third of America's yearly cotton export - and we're the largest cattle feeder operation in the world - having more head of cattle than the population of 42 of the 50 states.
But I believe the greatest contribution we make to the country is our people and the values they hold dear – faith, freedom and family.
West Texans reflect the values that made the United States the greatest nation on earth - the shining city on the hill. We believe we are one nation under God, that God's favor is what gave birth to this country, and it is his favor that allows this country to persevere. We believe in the American promise that prosperity does not come from the federal government, but is unleashed by freedom of We The People. And, finally, we believe that our country will only ever be as strong as our families, and that the family is the foundation of a prosperous West Texas and America.
Growing up in Plainview, Texas, these are the values I was raised on, and these are the values that make me so proud to represent and protect WTX.
