Education is the cornerstone of opportunity for all—regardless of economic background, ethnicity, religion, or any other demographic factor. I believe we can modernize the agency without dismantling it, ensuring that every student has access to quality learning opportunities.

• Protecting Essential Education Programs – I support maintaining and strengthening programs like Title I, IV, and IDEA funding to ensure local school districts receive the resources they need to support students, particularly in underserved communities.
• Faith-Based Inclusion – I believe in restoring faith-based values in schools by encouraging a spiritual connection between students and their faith. Schools should have the freedom to provide spaces for voluntary prayer and faith-based discussions, reinforcing moral and ethical development.
• Required Life Skills Education – Schools should teach real-world skills like financial literacy, home economics, civics, and vocational training, ensuring students graduate as informed, capable citizens.
• Funding for ALL Institutions of Learning – Whether public, private, charter, or homeschool programs, I will champion funding that gives parents and students more choices to pursue the best education for their needs.

As your congressman, I will partner to ensure every child in Texas' 9th District has access to the tools, support, and opportunities needed to succeed.
