I have been blessed to live in Texas for the past 30 years and I have been work­ing as hard as I can to pro­vide for my fam­i­ly and my com­mu­ni­ty at Biedermann’s Ace Hard­ware in Fredericksburg.

As a small busi­ness own­er I know what it means to keep up with a pay­roll, take care of cus­tomers and to make ends meet and I will not be swayed by the pow­er bro­kers and the uneth­i­cal influ­ences in Austin.

As a Chris­t­ian and a con­ser­v­a­tive Repub­li­can I am proud to serve as State Rep­re­sen­ta­tive in the great dis­trict cov­er­ing Gille­spie, Comal and Kendall coun­ties. I am proud to be a con­ser­v­a­tive and duti­ful cit­i­zen leg­is­la­tor, not a career politician.

Since elect­ed, I have stayed pos­i­tive and focused sole­ly on the issues that affect the hard­work­ing peo­ple and seniors in this dis­trict like ris­ing prop­er­ty tax­es, water con­ser­va­tion, the sec­ond amend­ment, unfund­ed state man­dates on our schools, over reg­u­la­tion and high­er tax­es on our busi­ness­es and our God giv­en pri­vate prop­er­ty rights.

At the fed­er­al lev­el, and in Texas, I have watched our already bloat­ed gov­ern­ment con­tin­ue to over­tax, over spend and rip away our God giv­en free­doms. We need real con­ser­v­a­tive lead­er­ship in our Capi­tol and this is exact­ly why I made the sac­ri­fice to run for office.

As more and more folks move to Texas, and as this dis­trict grows, we need to be vig­i­lant in pro­tect­ing life, the con­sti­tu­tion, our econ­o­my and our very way of life. We must act now to keep Texas free and prosperous.

While there are no sim­ple or easy answers, togeth­er we can accom­plish great things!
