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.
Yes, except the Article V convention and the "Tebow" issues.
Do you support current RPT chair James Dickey in full and if not, what do you disagree with?
I support him as he is doing a good job.
Did you support liberal Texas house-speaker Joe Straus? Why or why not?
Absolutely not. I am glad he is resigning!
Please describe what you believe are the most significant issues in this race, why and what you'll do to address them?
- Combatting the liberal ideology of the democrats.
- Bringing in new and young people.
- Dealing with corruption.
We need to raise awareness and promote a healthy discussion on current public policy decisions. I would continue to get young, principled conservatives involved.
Which supreme court cases should Texas just ignore?
Several, but Roe V Wade and Obergefell V Hodges to start with.
There's discussion about making major revisions to the RPT Platform. Please describe the nature of any major changes you support.
I like it the way it is because it should be specific and detailed as to what we believe.
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
e. Foreign bases. Because as John Adams says, "But she goes not abroad in search of monsters to destroy. She is the well-wisher to the freedom and independence of all. She is the champion and vindicator only of her own. She will recommend the general cause, by the countenance of her voice, and the benignant sympathy of her example.
She well knows that by once enlisting under other banners than her own, were they even the banners of foreign independence, she would involve herself, beyond the power of extrication, in all the wars of interest and intrigue, of individual avarice, envy, and ambition, which assume the colors and usurp the standard of freedom. The fundamental maxims of her policy would insensibly change from liberty to force. The frontlet upon her brows would no longer beam with the ineffable splendor of freedom and independence; but in its stead would soon be substituted an imperial diadem, flashing in false and tarnished lustre the murky radiance of dominion and power. She might become the dictatress of the world: she would be no longer the ruler of her own spirit."
For what offices should term limits be implemented?
No, I don’t support additional laws for term limits. The voters have the ability to elect and replace anyone they want during any election. We can’t solve voter apathy through additional laws.
What distinguishes you from your opponent?
I am a young conservative with a fresh perspective to offer and believe I would do a better job advocating conservative ideals.

Are the United States and Texas constitutions living documents? Please answer in the context of Progressivism versus Originalism.
No it is not a living document, they are timeless principles that are largely derived from biblical teaching.
