This is a Republican primary race.  Do you promise, if elected, to abide by the RPT platform?  And if not, please enumerate what problems you have.

I support thr Republican Party and its values and principles as I have throughout my tenure as Chairman.

Do you support current RPT chair James Dickey in full and if not, what do you disagree with?

As a Republican, I support our Party officials but do not endorse any candidates in contested races.

Did you support liberal Texas house-speaker Joe Straus?  Why or why not?

I served on the SREC when Straus's mother who was a member of the SREC. I respect the family who have been loyal Republicans for years. I have not always agreed with Speaker Straus.

Please describe what you believe are the most significant issues in this race, why and what you'll do to address them?

As a resident of Montgomery County since 1958, I became the Party Vice-Chairman in 1962 and Chairman since 1964. My experience in helping build our Party I believe is is very important. We now have seven Republican Women organizations, an active Young Republican organization and seven High School Republican Clubs in the County. I am proud that no Democrat has been elected to a District, County or Precinct office since 1994.

Which supreme court cases should Texas just ignore?

I consider the Supreme Court rulings to be the law of the land whether I agree with them or not. The Convention of States is a lawful process by which rulings can be overturned, but the best way to overturn bad rulings is to elect Republicans as president who will pledge to appont conservative Justices who will uphold the Constitution.

There's discussion about making major revisions to the RPT Platform. Please describe the nature of any major changes you support.

If changes are required, I would not oppose changes.

As a Republican, if you had to give up one of the following core principles, which one would you select first and why? 
a. pro-life;
b. 10% reduction in state, fed, local spending;
c. 2nd amendment;
d. illegal immigration;
e. foreign bases; 
f.  10th amendment

Foreign bases. Maybe it is time for other nations to protect themselves without our assistance.

For what offices should term limits be implemented?

I believe the best term limit is an election.

At what point should the "right to life" or "personhood" be granted to new human beings (e.g., at conception, 13 weeks of gestation, birth, 5 days old, 18 years old, etc)? What action, if any, will you take to reflect this in law?

At conception

I strongly support the Trump agenda in regard to immigration and border security.

I support the right of voters to chose whether they support toll roads or not.

I have been a conservative every since I became active in politics and I intend to die as one.
