Making America Affordable Again

December 29, 2025

For too many families in Texas and across this country, the American Dream is slipping out of reach — not because people aren’t working hard, but because Washington has made everyday life too expensive.

I believe affordability is not a luxury. It is a responsibility of good government.

When families can’t afford groceries, fuel, housing, or healthcare, freedom starts to disappear. And when freedom disappears, dependence on government grows. That is not the America I believe in.

My values are clear: faith, family, hard work, personal responsibility, and freedom — protected by our Constitution and earned through opportunity, not handouts.

The Cost-of-Living Crisis Is Man-Made

Inflation didn’t happen by accident.

It is the result of:

  • Reckless federal spending
  • Endless debt with no accountability
  • Overregulation that strangles small businesses
  • Energy policies that raise fuel and transportation costs

When Washington prints money, families pay the price at the grocery store and the gas pump.

I believe there is a fine line between freedom and economic slavery — and that line is defined and protected by our Constitution. Right now, that line is being crossed.

Food Should Not Be This Expensive — or This Complicated

Families are paying more for food than ever, yet getting less quality in return.

I believe much of our food supply has been over-processed, over-regulated, and distorted by corporate interests and global supply chains instead of supporting American farmers and ranchers.

Other countries manage to:

  • Use fewer preservatives
  • Enforce clearer labeling
  • Protect domestic food production

We should be asking why American families pay more for food that is often less healthy.

Affordability begins with American agriculture feeding America first.

Energy Costs Drive Every Other Cost

Nothing impacts affordability more than energy.

High fuel prices raise the cost of:

  • Food
  • Housing materials
  • Transportation
  • Utilities

I believe in American energy independence — not dependence on foreign adversaries or global markets that don’t care about Texas families.

Affordable energy is not extreme. It is essential.

Small Government, Big Freedom

I am not running to manage decline or protect the status quo.

I am running because I believe:

  • Hard-working Americans deserve to keep more of what they earn
  • Government should live within its means
  • Debt is a threat to future generations
  • A balanced budget matters

When government grows, families lose freedom. When freedom is protected, opportunity follows.

Texas Values, Real Leadership

I am not a career politician. I am a businessman, a father, a husband, a coach, and a conservative who believes in doing what is right — even when it’s not popular.

Texas understands something Washington has forgotten:
If families can afford to live, they can thrive. If they can thrive, the nation is strong.

Making America affordable again is not about slogans. It is about restoring common sense, discipline, and respect for the people who make this country work.

Moving Forward

Affordability is connected to everything:

  • Faith in the future
  • Strong families
  • Secure communities
  • A free nation

If you still believe in this country, I ask you to walk with me.

Together, we can restore affordability, freedom, and opportunity — not just for today, but for the next generation.
