next generation is under attack! Each day students in our district are being brainwashed by Critical Theory and Critical Race Theory, where they are taught that their identity and value are based upon the color of their skin rather than their character! In addition, our children are being robbed of their innocence through sexually explicit content that is being distributed in their classrooms as well as their libraries. Not on my watch! As a former college adjunct professor, public school mentor, and football coach, educating the next generation is near and dear to my heart. It’s time to outlaw the sexualization of our children! It’s time to outlaw racist ideologies that seek to divide our children, not unify them. It’s time to teach our children to love America, not hate it! It’s time to fight for our kids! </p><p class="" style="white-space:pre-wrap;">Additionally, if we’re going to fight for our families, we have to fight for their ability to create wealth as well. Currently, Tarrant County has an average property tax rate of 2.1%. That’s the 5th highest property tax rate in the state of Texas. We must do everything we can to lower property taxes so that the families of district 93 can live prosperous lives.</p></div></div> </div> </figcaption> </figure> </div></div></div><div class="col sqs-col-0 span-0"></div></div><div class="row sqs-row"><div class="col sqs-col-12 span-12"><div class="sqs-block spacer-block sqs-block-spacer sized vsize-1" data-block-type="21" id="block-4bf37888d0461039a690"><div class="sqs-block-content"> </div></div><div class="sqs-block image-block sqs-block-image" data-block-type="5" id="block-yui_3_17_2_1_1637118212094_30858"><div class="sqs-block-content"> <figure class=" sqs-block-image-figure image-block-outer-wrapper image-block-v2 design-layout-card combination-animation-site-default individual-animation-site-default individual-text-animation-site-default image-position-right " data-scrolled data-test="image-block-v2-outer-wrapper" > <div class="intrinsic"> <div class=" image-inset" data-animation-role="image" data-description="" > <div class="sqs-image-shape-container-element content-fit " style=" position: relative; overflow: hidden;-webkit-mask-image: -webkit-radial-gradient(white, black); "> <img data-stretch="false" data-src="https://images.squarespace-cdn.com/content/v1/618c30265707d1167b392443/01ec7ae2-0bb9-403c-96c5-64babf88804d/20211027+%28148+of+218%29.jpg" data-image="https://images.squarespace-cdn.com/content/v1/618c30265707d1167b392443/01ec7ae2-0bb9-403c-96c5-64babf88804d/20211027+%28148+of+218%29.jpg" data-image-dimensions="5760x3840" data-image-focal-point="0.5,0.5" alt="" data-load="false" elementtiming="system-image-block" src="https://images.squarespace-cdn.com/content/v1/618c30265707d1167b392443/01ec7ae2-0bb9-403c-96c5-64babf88804d/20211027+%28148+of+218%29.jpg" width="5760" height="3840" alt="" sizes="(max-width: 640px) 100vw, (max-width: 767px) 100vw, 100vw" style="display:block;object-fit: contain;" onload="this.classList.add("loaded")" srcset="https://images.squarespace-cdn.com/content/v1/618c30265707d1167b392443/01ec7ae2-0bb9-403c-96c5-64babf88804d/20211027+%28148+of+218%29.jpg?format=100w 100w, https://images.squarespace-cdn.com/content/v1/618c30265707d1167b392443/01ec7ae2-0bb9-403c-96c5-64babf88804d/20211027+%28148+of+218%29.jpg?format=300w 300w, https://images.squarespace-cdn.com/content/v1/618c30265707d1167b392443/01ec7ae2-0bb9-403c-96c5-64babf88804d/20211027+%28148+of+218%29.jpg?format=500w 500w, https://images.squarespace-cdn.com/content/v1/618c30265707d1167b392443/01ec7ae2-0bb9-403c-96c5-64babf88804d/20211027+%28148+of+218%29.jpg?format=750w 750w, https://images.squarespace-cdn.com/content/v1/618c30265707d1167b392443/01ec7ae2-0bb9-403c-96c5-64babf88804d/20211027+%28148+of+218%29.jpg?format=1000w 1000w, https://images.squarespace-cdn.com/content/v1/618c30265707d1167b392443/01ec7ae2-0bb9-403c-96c5-64babf88804d/20211027+%28148+of+218%29.jpg?format=1500w 1500w, https://images.squarespace-cdn.com/content/v1/618c30265707d1167b392443/01ec7ae2-0bb9-403c-96c5-64babf88804d/20211027+%28148+of+218%29.jpg?format=2500w 2500w" loading="lazy" decoding="async" data-loader="sqs"> <div class="image-overlay" style="overflow: hidden;-webkit-mask-image: -webkit-radial-gradient(white, black);"></div> </div> </div> </div> <figcaption class="image-card-wrapper" data-width-ratio> <div class="image-card sqs-dynamic-text-container"> <div class="image-title-wrapper"><div class="image-title sqs-dynamic-text" ><h4 style="white-space:pre-wrap;">defend the voiceless</h4></div></div> <div class="image-subtitle-wrapper"><div class="image-subtitle sqs-dynamic-text" ><p class="" style="white-space:pre-wrap;">In 2020, 56,358 babies were aborted in the state of Texas alone. Additionally, 29,425 babies were aborted between January and June of 2021. After the Texas Heartbeat Bill passed, abortions in Texas dropped 50% between August and September. While this is a great victory, it’s still not enough! I vow to take a stand for the unborn! It’s time to pass legislation that effectively outlaws abortion at any stage of pregnancy, but we can’t stop there. We need to bring reformation to our foster care system, and support local organizations that are actively rehabilitating and resourcing broken and struggling families. We must defend those that have no voice! </p><p class="" style="white-space:pre-wrap;">         Additionally, there are more than 300,000 victims of human trafficking in Texas, including almost 79,000 minors and youth victims of sex trafficking and nearly 234,000 adult victims of labor trafficking. As operations director of <a href="https://www.thejusticereform.com"><em>The Justice Reform</em></a>, an anti-human trafficking organization in Fort Worth, we are in this fight, and we plan to open the first 100 bed facility to rehabilitate victims back into society. It’s time for Texas to take a stand by supporting local organizations that are actively rescuing victims, and developing strategies to support law enforcement in their efforts to expose the darkness of human trafficking. We must speak up for those who cannot speak up for themselves!</p></div></div> </div> </figcaption> </figure> </div></div><div class="sqs-block spacer-block sqs-block-spacer sized vsize-1" data-block-type="21" id="block-4f4cc13c8550a973fccd"><div class="sqs-block-content"> </div></div><div class="sqs-block image-block sqs-block-image" data-block-type="5" id="block-yui_3_17_2_1_1637118212094_34475"><div class="sqs-block-content"> <figure class=" sqs-block-image-figure image-block-outer-wrapper image-block-v2 design-layout-card combination-animation-site-default individual-animation-site-default individual-text-animation-site-default image-position-left " data-scrolled data-test="image-block-v2-outer-wrapper" > <div class="intrinsic"> <div class=" image-inset" data-animation-role="image" data-description="" > <div class="sqs-image-shape-container-element content-fit " style=" position: relative; overflow: hidden;-webkit-mask-image: -webkit-radial-gradient(white, black); "> <img data-stretch="false" data-src="https://images.squarespace-cdn.com/content/v1/618c30265707d1167b392443/d59c6c25-e918-46bb-8c5b-946f56c3a699/texasborder.jpeg" data-image="https://images.squarespace-cdn.com/content/v1/618c30265707d1167b392443/d59c6c25-e918-46bb-8c5b-946f56c3a699/texasborder.jpeg" data-image-dimensions="2500x1667" data-image-focal-point="0.5,0.5" alt="" data-load="false" elementtiming="system-image-block" src="https://images.squarespace-cdn.com/content/v1/618c30265707d1167b392443/d59c6c25-e918-46bb-8c5b-946f56c3a699/texasborder.jpeg" width="2500" height="1667" alt="" sizes="(max-width: 640px) 100vw, (max-width: 767px) 100vw, 100vw" style="display:block;object-fit: contain;" onload="this.classList.add("loaded")" srcset="https://images.squarespace-cdn.com/content/v1/618c30265707d1167b392443/d59c6c25-e918-46bb-8c5b-946f56c3a699/texasborder.jpeg?format=100w 100w, https://images.squarespace-cdn.com/content/v1/618c30265707d1167b392443/d59c6c25-e918-46bb-8c5b-946f56c3a699/texasborder.jpeg?format=300w 300w, https://images.squarespace-cdn.com/content/v1/618c30265707d1167b392443/d59c6c25-e918-46bb-8c5b-946f56c3a699/texasborder.jpeg?format=500w 500w, https://images.squarespace-cdn.com/content/v1/618c30265707d1167b392443/d59c6c25-e918-46bb-8c5b-946f56c3a699/texasborder.jpeg?format=750w 750w, https://images.squarespace-cdn.com/content/v1/618c30265707d1167b392443/d59c6c25-e918-46bb-8c5b-946f56c3a699/texasborder.jpeg?format=1000w 1000w, https://images.squarespace-cdn.com/content/v1/618c30265707d1167b392443/d59c6c25-e918-46bb-8c5b-946f56c3a699/texasborder.jpeg?format=1500w 1500w, https://images.squarespace-cdn.com/content/v1/618c30265707d1167b392443/d59c6c25-e918-46bb-8c5b-946f56c3a699/texasborder.jpeg?format=2500w 2500w" loading="lazy" decoding="async" data-loader="sqs"> <div class="image-overlay" style="overflow: hidden;-webkit-mask-image: -webkit-radial-gradient(white, black);"></div> </div> </div> </div> <figcaption class="image-card-wrapper" data-width-ratio> <div class="image-card sqs-dynamic-text-container"> <div class="image-title-wrapper"><div class="image-title sqs-dynamic-text" ><h4 style="white-space:pre-wrap;">Secure the border</h4></div></div> <div class="image-subtitle-wrapper"><div class="image-subtitle sqs-dynamic-text" ><p class="" style="white-space:pre-wrap;">Between September 2020 and September 2021, it’s estimated that almost 2 million people entered the United States illegally, many of them coming through the southern border.
