Solutions Over Slogans for House District 58

Every position on this page starts from the same place: what actually works for the families, farmers, and small businesses of Johnson and Somervell counties — not what plays best on cable news. Below, you'll find where I stand on the issues shaping our district, backed by real numbers and real commitments.

Data Centers & Transmission Infrastructure

Protecting District 58 from the costs of an unplanned data center boom — fair compensation for landowners, park protections, and a ratepayer-first approach to who foots the bill.

Property Tax Relief

Real, lasting relief that doesn't trade your appraisal notice for a tax hike at the cash register.

Public School Policy

Fully funding our neighborhood schools and protecting local control from Austin's voucher schemes.

Healthcare Reform

Healthcare Reform: Medicaid expansion to save rural hospitals, paired with proactive mental health care — roving nurses, crisis diversion centers, and an end to treating jail cells as psychiatric wards.

Fentanyl Crisis Hub

Resources and policy for confronting the fentanyl crisis head-on in our community.
