Pros:

God centric, with beliefs of laws based on Judeo-Christian ethics and said he will defend those in government if challenged
Pro-life; marriage between a man and a woman
Had an 88 Fiscal Responsibility Index (includes voting record) from Empower Texans in the Texas House
Contract of Principles with Montgomery County
Wants an Ethics policy with punitive measures for bad behavior that seems pervasive throughout most of the court
Strong proponent of zero-based budgeting and eliminating wasteful spending (noted in questionnaire-under Budget category-down below).
Wants to prioritize spending on the two main functions of county government….Law Enforcement, Road and Bridge maintenance and construction
Staunchly against the use of Certs of Oblication (CO's), because the county has $130 Million in reserves.
If elected, would reverse course on the 249 toll road returning it to TxDOT and fighting to end the tolls on it and then dissolving the Montgomery County Toll Road Authority
Endorsed by: Texas Right to Life, Empower Texans, TURF (anti-toll roads) and The Golden Hammer

Cons:

Gave the seconding speech for liberal/progressive Republican Texas Speaker-of-the-House Joe Straus, which he now regrets.
Positions (2016 Political Courage Test): Claims candidate doesn't provide voters on key positions.
