Immigration & Border
Supports strengthening the southern border using technology, infrastructure, and additional personnel to stop illegal crossings and criminal activity, and prioritizes dismantling drug and human trafficking networks. Backs reforms to the asylum process to reduce abuse while respecting legitimate claims and supports legal, merit-based immigration reforms to strengthen the workforce. Emphasizes enforcement and border security alongside limited legal immigration changes.
Climate & Energy
Supports a Texas-first, all-of-the-above energy approach that includes oil and gas alongside renewables, carbon capture, and next-generation nuclear while opposing heavy-handed federal mandates and prioritizing reliability, affordability, and innovation.
Public Safety & Guns
Supports the Second Amendment and the right of law-abiding Americans to keep and bear arms while opposing federal overreach on firearms policy. Backs enforcing existing laws to keep guns from violent criminals, holding ATF accountable, and focusing federal efforts on violent crime, mental-health intervention, and illegal trafficking rather than new restrictions on lawful gun owners.
