Texas is drying up, and slogans won’t fix it. We need field-tested water conservation strategies that keep our aquifers healthy—without the state stealing your groundwater rights.
You know how to manage your land better than a bureaucrat in Austin. We will cut the red tape that strangles family farms and protect your property from eminent domain abuse.
Whether you run a 5,000-acre ranch or a market garden, the government should get out of your way. We will remove barriers so you can sell what you grow and keep more of what you earn.
I am running to bring a focus on agriculture back to an office that has been overtaken by political games. The current Commissioner has inflated the position far beyond its scope, using it as a personal soapbox for 'All-Trump' rhetoric rather than focusing on the actual job at hand. Texas needs an Ag Commissioner who works for the farmers and ranchers, not for the headlines.
I am an agricultural scientist, not a career politician. I want to restore a practical, science-based approach to the department. I believe rural Texas thrives when farmers and ranchers are free, not when they are dependent on the state. My goal is to stop the waste and use our budget efficiently—ending the handouts that pick winners and losers—so we can focus on the core issues that matter: defending private property rights, supporting sustainable practices, protecting our land and natural resources, and getting the government out of the way of the producers.
