Priorities
Restoring Accountability and Common Sense in Washington
My job isn’t to chase headlines or introduce bills just to say I tried. My job is to follow the law, protect liberty, and answer to you.
Uphold the Rule of Law
Congress shouldn’t write new laws when it won’t follow the ones we already have. I’ll fight to enforce the law, defend the Constitution, and restore equal justice.
Limit Government
The bigger Washington grows, the smaller the people become. I’ll fight to cut waste, shrink bureaucracy, and return power to states, communities, and families.
Restore Accountability
Public service should be a duty, not a career. I’ll fight for term limits, ban congressional stock trading, and make government more transparent to the taxpayers.
Secure the border & Enforce the Law
A nation without borders is not a nation. Washington’s job is to uphold the law, not ignore it.
- Enforce existing immigration laws and finish the border wall.
- End catch-and-release and reinstate Remain in Mexico.
- Pause non-essential immigration until enforcement is fully restored.
- End taxpayer-funded benefits for illegal alliens to remove incentives for unlawful entry.
- Deploy trained personnel and modern surveillance tech to secure every port of entry.
- Cut federal funding to sanctuary cities and ensure transparency in all immigration spending.
- Treat cartels and traffickers as foreign terror threats – cut funding and dismantle networks.
- Make federal agencies answer for border failures with transparency and oversight.
Defend Faith, Family, & Freedom
Government doesn’t grant our rights, it’s supposed to protect them. As a husband and father, I’ll defend the right to worship freely, raise strong families, and live by the values that built this nation.
- Protect prayer in schools and public expression of our Christian faith.
- Shield children from radical gender and political indoctrination.
- Uphold pro-life laws and expand adoption and family support.
- End federal discrimination against people of faith.
Secure Gun Rights
The Second Amendment guarantees every other right. It’s non-negotiable and not up for compromise.
- Oppose red flag laws and any federal gun registries.
- Expand national concealed carry reciprocity.
- Roll back unconstitutional gun restrictions and end ATF abuse of power.
- End federal gun-free zones that leave citizens defenseless.
- Encourage voluntary firearm safety training without government mandates.
Protect Personal Liberty
Freedom is a personal responsibility, not a government privilege. Texans deserve a representative who will fight to protect your rights, not trade them for power.
- Oppose every bill that expands government power or spending.
- Reject warrantless surveillance and unconstitutional data collection.
- Rein in unelected bureaucrats through congressional oversight.
- Repeal mandates that violate personal choice or privacy.
Support Veterans & First Responders
I’ve fought alongside America’s heroes. We must honor their service with action, not slogans. I’ve seen brothers and sisters in arms struggle to get the care and benefits they earned. That’s not acceptable. I’ll fight to fix a system that forgets its promises and make sure veterans and first responders are never left behind.
- End red flag systems that unfairly target veterans.
- Fix the VA so veterans get real care, real fast.
- Streamline the benefits process so no veteran is lost in paperwork.
- Expand access to mental health care and proven alternative therapies to prevent suicide.
- Pass the Major Richard Star Act to protect earned veteran benefits.
- Prioritize job programs and community reintegration for veterans.
- Support better benefits for police, firefighters, and EMTs.
Put America First
America’s interests must always come before foreign agendas. I’ll fight to end wasteful spending overseas, rebuild our strength at home, and make sure our resources serve the American people first.
- End reckless foreign aid and redirect funds to secure our border and care for veterans.
- Withdraw from endless wars and focus the military on protecting American soil.
- Enforce fair trade policies that bring jobs and manufacturing back to the U.S.
Protect Election Integrity
Free and fair elections are the foundation of our Republic. I’ll fight to make sure every legal vote counts, every ballot is verified, and every election is secure.
- Require photo ID for all federal elections, with free IDs for low-income citizens.
- Enforce strict chain-of-custody rules and felony penalties for ballot tampering.
- Advocate for post-election audits in every state using hand recounts and blockchain tracking.
- Require regular cleaning and verification of voter rolls to ensure accuracy and prevent fraud.
- Make Election Day a federal holiday so every working American can vote in person.
Restore Accountability
Congress should work for the people, not for itself. It’s time to end corruption and the culture of entitlement in Washington.
- Enact term limits through a Constitutional amendment.
- Ban stock trading and ownership for members of Congress.
- Repeal the 17th Amendment to restore accountability of U.S. Senators to state legislatures.
- Require full transparency in all federal spending.
- End the revolving door between Congress and K Street lobbying firms.
Protect Medical Freedom
Medical decisions belong to individuals and their doctors, not bureaucrats or politicians. I’ll fight to protect medical freedom, defend privacy, and keep Washington out of personal health choices.
- Oppose government-run healthcare and protect free-market competition.
- Defend medical choice and privacy for all Americans.
- Ban federal mandates on vaccines and medical procedures.
- Ensure no citizen is punished or discriminated against for personal health decisions.
- Promote transparency in food and medicine to support preventive health.
Empower Parents & Protect Children
Parents, not bureaucrats, know what’s best for their kids. As a husband and father, I know strong families are the foundation of a strong Texas. I’ll fight to protect parental rights, defend local control, and keep Washington out of our homes and classrooms.
- Pass a national Parents’ Bill of Rights that guarantees transparency in education.
- Expand unregulated school choice so funding follows the child without federal strings.
- Abolish the U.S. Department of Education and return power to states and communities.
- Ban taxpayer funding for radical gender ideology in schools.
- Protect parental consent in all medical and educational decisions.
American Energy & Economic Prosperity
Energy independence is economic independence. With over a decade in oil and gas, I know firsthand how Texas energy powers America’s security and prosperity. I’ll fight to keep Texas the backbone of our strength, cut federal overreach, and push back against green mandates that drive up costs and kill jobs.
- End the left’s war on American energy and reopen drilling leases.
- Cut federal interference and activist lawsuits that block production.
- Repeal the 16th Amendment and implement the FairTax for real tax reform.
- Protect U.S. refining capacity and expand domestic production.
- Grow veteran employment across energy sectors to strengthen our workforce.
Protect Financial Freedom & Innovation
Texans value freedom, and that includes financial freedom. I’ll fight to protect the right to innovate, invest, and build without government control or surveillance.
- Oppose federal digital currencies that threaten privacy and financial independence.
- Repeal SEC overreach and outdated regulations on cryptocurrency and digital assets.
- Promote blockchain innovation and energy-efficient mining that creates Texas jobs.
- Support tax incentives and research partnerships that grow the digital economy.
- Encourage education on financial security and responsible cryptocurrency use.
Fight for Health & Wellness
Good health starts with personal responsibility and access to real food, not government mandates or corporate lobbyists. I’ll fight to make nutrition and prevention a national priority so every American has the freedom and knowledge to live healthy.
- Promote nutrition education in schools to fight obesity and diabetes.
- Ban harmful additives and artificial dyes in food, starting with school meals.
- Refocus FDA priorities on nutrition, transparency, and honest labeling.
- Support local farmers and direct-to-consumer food options that keep families healthy.
- Encourage medical training that treats food as medicine, not an afterthought.
Protect Texas Infrastructure & Local Control
Texans don’t need Washington to run our grid or manage our floods. We need the freedom to handle our own challenges without D.C. interference. Nick will fight to cut red tape, return tax dollars to Texas, and keep local control where it belongs.
- Cut federal red tape that blocks local infrastructure and recovery projects.
- Return tax dollars to Texas for real infrastructure, not D.C. pet projects.
- Support grants that let local governments manage flood mitigation their way.
- Protect the Texas grid from federal overreach and strengthen its security.
Fiscal responsibility
Washington doesn’t have a revenue problem – it has a spending problem. Texans live within their means. So should Congress.
- Support a Balanced Budget Amendment.
- Eliminate wasteful agencies and overlapping programs.
- Audit the Federal Reserve and all federal spending annually.
- Cut foreign aid to nations that oppose American interests.
Defend the Constitution
The Constitution isn’t a suggestion. Every word matters.
- Block unconstitutional executive orders and overreach.
- Rein in unelected bureaucrats and activist judges.
- Uphold the separation of powers and protect federalism.
- Require all legislation to cite its specific constitutional authority.
Legislative transparency
Every bill should stand on its own. No more backroom deals.
- Fight for single-subject legislation in Congress.
- Ban unrelated riders or hidden amendments.
- Publish all bills online 72 hours before any vote.
- Require plain-language summaries so citizens can see exactly what’s being voted on.
My Pledge of Service
I’m not running because someone picked me or cleared a path. I’m running to serve. As a combat veteran and business leader, I’ve learned that real leadership means sacrifice, accountability, and results. Washington doesn’t need another handpicked politician. It needs public servants who remember what duty means.
Serve no more than three terms in Congress to stay focused on results.
