I’m running for Lieutenant Governor of Texas because I want to be a voice for regular Texans. Right now, just about the only voices being heard at the Capitol are those of hired guns for large moneyed interests. The process is not open to the public. That’s not democracy.

Most Texas citizens and small businesses can’t get heard without money because it’s turned into a pay to play system.
