What is the job of the position you are running for?

Montgomery County Sheriff

What are the three main reasons you are running for this office? Do you see any potential conflicts of interest?

I am a Master Peace Officer that has served our country and county for 27 years.  21 of those years were at the Sheriff's Office as a boots on the ground patrol sergeant.  I supervised 20 to 50 troops any given night. I spoke to the troops, loved them dearly and they loved me in return.  I haven't forgotten why I entered the world of law enforement and I'm certainly not a politician.  

MCSO is my home and in 1997 I planned on retiring from there.  Due to the woke culture and the rhino administration that currently occupy the office, I left in 2018.  My qualifications are matched by no other in this race.  I do not owe the political powers that have chosen our last sheriff and who are attempting to replace that mistake with another.  I will bring back what it means to be a sheriff's deputy.  The pride and patriotism that belongs in law enforement will be evident each day.  The qualifications are not pieces of paper hanging on a wall, it's in my heart and in my Texas roots.  I haven't forgotten what it means to do the right thing.  From day one, you will see a change.  Our forefathers did it right but some think they can change the path they created for us.  We will return to an obvious Constitutional enforcing agency and will stand for zero federal government overreach.  

Please describe the qualifications and experience that make you the best candidate for the office you are seeking.

Give at least 3 examples from your past record that will convince voters that you are / will be a Constitutional Law Enforcement Officer

I am a US Veteran.

I have a flag with 13 stars hanging in my yard

I voted and will continue to vote for Donald Trump.

I am a NRA member and supporter.

What goals do you have in mind, if you are elected, and to which you want to be measured against in the coming term?

I will rehumanize the agency.  You will see your sheriff.  I will not be at the office while hiding from anyone and everyone.  I will work for the tax payers and the deputies under my command.  The deputies will see that they have a constitution loving sheriff that walks with pride while representing the people who he protects.  I will change the culture by being a proud American.  Doing the right thing and ridding the agency of those that cause harm will be job number one.  We will stand by those that do the right thing and will stand against all others.  

What is the most important action needed to make Montgomery County safer?

I will change the culture and stand next to those that place their lives in harm's way.  Morale is the largest problem.  Returning the agency to a humanized agency will correct many of the problems we see today.  Letting those officers know they're appreciated and allowing them to make decisions will improve morale.   Having a sheriff that stands with the officers and citizens will improve the boots on the ground.  Their knowledge that the administration has their back will reflect through the deputy that may respond to your home.  It's a different look.  It's in their heart to help others and not hesitate when that time arrives.  They will also find that their sheriff will be standing beside them on some scenes.  All of this will improve the agency and the service we provide to the people that pay the bills, the citizen.  

What do you see as the 3 major challenges for your office over this next term?

The population numbers do not reflect in a census.  Some that arrive here are doing it by invading our country.  I would say that the population is one of the largest challenges.  The number of citizens vs the number of officers in the field is a huge challege.  Having those boots on the ground is the main focus.  Computers and programs do not enforce the laws of this Republic or the State of Texas.  Without the men and women standing in front of evil, the programs mean nothing.

There are many areas that can be improved by cutting cost or moving those funds to areas that will provide outstanding service to our community.  

I will "cut the fat" from the agency.  The agency has become unbalanced regarding those that sit in an office compared to those that are active in the field.  You will see an abundance of change regarding the amount of patrol cars on the street and your sheriff actively participating in day to day operations.    

Please describe the best way for the average voter to determine which candidate for this office is best.

I live and breathe freedom.  Freedom can be taken away by a government agency or a criminal on the street.  I will stand against both.  We've lost our way regarding what law enforement and the citizen's relationship with each other should reflect.  We should be one family instead of wondering what law enforement is doing.  We as citizens and law enforement should be standing together to fight evil.  Having lived in the same house for most of my life as a tax paying citizen here in Montgomery County, my love for this county and it's citizens will be very evident.  Choose a sheriff that doesn't hide behind 4 to 5 security doors.  Choose a sheriff that has an open door policy.  Choose someone that's not chosen by the political elite.  Choose someone that's not a politician.  

Where do you think the possibility for corruption resides in county government?  How would you handle it in your department, even if you think there is none?

If corruption is found within the agency, those involved will be fired.  If it is a criminal act, they will be arrested.  Sometimes corruption can be hidden by applying words to actions to justify those actions.  Many government agencies whether state or federal, hide behind statutes or laws written in their favor.  It's not a question of "if' its a question of "where?"  I will not make accusations without proof regarding other departments.  I will observe and surround myself with competent men and women that will find any wrongdoing.  Those actions will be brought to the tax payer's attention.  I will have an open line between myself and our citizens.  If there is an issue that needs to be addressed, action will be taken.  

Are the United States and Texas constitutions living documents? Please answer in the context of Progressivism versus Originalism.

The United States and Texas Consitutions are not living documents.  Our forefathers knew what they were doing.  

Civic, Political or union organization or individuals to whom you have contributed (five years):

The NRA

What will you do to ensure that the Texan rule of law prevails over the Biden federal law enforcement policies that allow illegals to operate in Montgomery County?

We will patrol and arrest law breaking illegal persons and communicate with federal law enforement in order to document our attempts to do the right thing.  We will confirm citizenship status once they are arrested and turn them over to the federal agencies when allowed.  The pressure placed on illegal citizens that break the law will be like no other.  I will be a voice for the American citizen that totes the note for all of the free healthcare, housing and other benefits the current US Administration provides.  

How will you improve the transparency and access to financial and other records for the public?

Everything we do will be transparent.  Our budget will not be hidden behide codes or compressed in a statement that can not be understood by the general public.  

What are the top 3 areas where the budget for this office needs to be adjusted?

Administration will be cut.  The current sheriff has created more government within the agency.  It's a cost we the tax payers have to endure.  These positions will be studied and adjusted.  The positions that can be converted to a boots on the ground position, will be converted as soon as possible.  These actions alone will free up a large amount of money to either return to Commissioner's Court or to be used for more realistic positions that protect and serve our community.  

Construction and remodeling offices will stop.  Remodeling every few years has cost the tax payers more money than ever.  We will utilize what we have and if construction is needed, it will be at the last resort.  In my time at MCSO, I never observed a sheriff spend this amount of money on construction and remodeling.  It sounds basic but this alone has costs millioms of dollars.  

What is your knowledge/opinion on Strong Cities Network?  What action would you take if the Biden administration attempts to implement it?

Chances are, I will not stand next to any Biden policies.  I say that to not shoot something down before it is studied, I say that because 99% of Biden's policies are not for the benefit of the American Citizen.  They give to those that are here illegal or they give to those to keep them under the federal government's heavy hand.  Those that are willing and abled bodied can prosper.  Giving to those that abuse our tax dollars and refuse to better themselves is a huge problem.   

Is there anything in your background of an embarrassing nature that should be explained before your election? Arrests/Convictions? Bankruptcies?

I have nothing in my background regarding arrests, convictions or bankruptcys. My house where I live, I found while on patrol.  It was a home under construction and I have since paid that loan off in full.  Not many 48 year old men can say that.   

How much of a problem is county hiring based on the "good old boy" / "loyalty to leadership" instead of one's ability to efficiently and ethically perform their tasks and functions? and what can realistically be done about it?

Loyalty is certainly important.  But loyalty while someone is doing the wrong thing can be a horrible thing for those working for an agency.  If you reward those that do wrong, you will start losing those that work their tails off for the community.  I think you can have a mixture but as soon as a wrong is being done, it needs to be addressed and removed.  I will hold those around me accountable and I will also address the situation with the tax payer.  I will not hide from a mistake or a mistake made by someone under my leadership.  It will be addressed.  Kicking the can down the road only affects other agencies that that person may control in the future.  It's happened with this administration for sure.  If you need to know, please ask for those details in a future conversation.  

What can a Sheriff/Constable do to remove enclaves of illegals from their County & why hasn't that been done in Montgomery County?

A sheriff can patrol and operate in communities where it is needed.  If an area needs attention, it will get it.  I will not hide from the obvious.  Using our powers as peace officers will allow us to arrest when laws are broken and make lives difficult for those that are not doing the right thing.  Most of all, I will be a voice.  I will be the loudest voice for our citizens.  I will be the most famous Sheriff in Texas for the good.  If it's deemed illgal by our woke courts, I will scream from the mountain tops to encourage change.  I will testify in courts if needed to open the eyes to those that oppose action.  If those eyes are closed due to corruption, we will use our voices to get them removed or voted out of office.  If you're doing the wrong thing, you will not want me in the building because I'm coming after you.

What is your position on taking federal money for your department?

I believe in federal tax dollars being spent at home.  It's our money regarding the tax payer.  If strings are attached by applying control of our actions by the federal government, those funds will not be accepted.  The feds have gained control of our schools, hospitals and law enforement agencies by baiting them with millions of dollars of our own hard earned money.  The same people in power give away our money to those that hate the United States.  We've paid for peace too long aroud the globe.  Had we returned or quit spending money on foreign, hostile nations, there wouldn't be a pothole on any American street.  The federal money used by my administarion will be without the government's heavy hand control.  There will be guidlines that we will follow without a doubt.  But if it is an attempt to control another local agency, that money will be turned down.
