Susan's priorities

Issues

Securing Our Southern Border 

Joe Biden allowed violent cartels and gangs to take control of our border and infiltrate our country while our representative, Tony Gonzales, remained silent.

Under the weak leadership of the Biden Administration and Tony Gonzales, millions of illegal immigrants and enough fentanyl to kill every American multiple times over flooded across our Southern Border. President Trump needs an unwavering conservative in Congress to continue securing our Southern Border to protect our communities and national security. I will fight alongside President Trump and other Republicans to protect Americans and their property from the damaging effects of illegal immigration.

Reducing the National Debt

Our growing national debt threatens the future of our children and generations to come. It is imperative that we balance the budget and reduce the national debt. Raising a family and running a successful small business, I learned how to make sacrifices, prioritize needs, and spend efficiently. Every American must balance their check book – the federal government should do the same.

America First Tariffs

America has been taken advantage of by other nations for decades. President Trump is fighting to put American producers and families first by implementing reciprocal tariffs. Bringing jobs back on US soil and compelling other nations to renegotiate fairer trade deals should be celebrated, and I fully support President Trump in this fight to make our economy stronger.

China owns the second largest share of our national debt, posing a substantial national security threat. These tariffs are the quickest way to be able to pay off our ever-growing national debt to mitigate national security concerns without raising taxes on hard-working Americans.

Defending Our 2^nd Amendment Rights

“Shall not be infringed” means something in Texas. As an avid hunter and seventh generation Texan, I just have one thing to say – Come and Take It.

Standing with Law Enforcement

Brave men and women put their lives on the line every single day to protect communities across America. They deserve our support, training, and resources to ensure they can protect and serve Americans and make it home to their families at night. We are a nation of laws, and I am proud to stand with law enforcement.

Foreign Conflicts and National Security

Israel is America’s true democratic ally in the Middle East. We must defend their sovereignty and cut off support and funds to the terrorist organizations attacking their citizens and borders.

America is the city upon a hill, a beacon of democracy around the world. We should support democracies around the world in resisting authoritarians while considering the costs to our citizens. Blank checks and blind trust are a thing of the past. I will work with President Trump to achieve peace abroad while putting Americans first.

Supporting Our Military and Veterans

Peace through strength is the best way to keep Americans safe, at home and abroad. A strong United States deters our enemies from attacking our allies, allowing us to maintain peace across the globe. I will always support our military and the courageous men and women who are willing to pay the ultimate sacrifice for our freedoms.

Our veterans deserve our help. The VA is a mess and needs to undergo an overhaul. Months-long waits to see a physician, poor quality care, and wild mismanagement is not what our heroes deserve.

Protecting Texas Agriculture

Farmers and ranchers are the backbone of the American economy. As a Texas rancher, I have a deep understanding of the struggles many in my district, and across the nation, are experiencing. I won’t forget my rich agricultural roots in Washington, D.C.; I will be an advocate for our agricultural industry, focused on buying American first and removing unnecessary, cumbersome regulations.

Lowering Taxes

Texans work hard to earn every penny.  The more money in the people’s pockets, the greater the economic stimulus. I will fight to lower taxes so every American can keep more of their paycheck.

ENERGY INDEPENDENCE

Texas dominates the energy industry. From electricity to renewable energy, Texas is the leading producer in the United States and is a leader among some of the world’s largest countries. We must protect energy jobs and expand our capacity to produce energy. Energy independence is vital to America’s national security.

Prioritizing American Health and Safety

Our children are the future, so it is critical that we protect their health and safety. I am ready to work with President Trump and the Department of Health and Human Services to remove harmful ingredients from our food supply and make America healthier.

The work the Trump Administration is doing to fight human trafficking and locate the hundreds of thousands of children who went missing under the Biden Administration is imperative. Innocent children must be protected at all costs, and I am ready to fight for them.

Supporting Local Growth in District 23

President Trump has brought manufacturing in many industries back to the US. Now is the opportune time to bring those companies and jobs to Texas. As the congresswoman from District 23, I will encourage companies to relocate to our district, which has expansive land and an industrious workforce to offer. The job growth and economic stimulus of increased business activity would help families across our communities.

Maintaining Our Heritage through Conservation

As an avid outdoorswoman and hunter, I have a passion for teaching the next generation about our American heritage and expanding the right to continue tradition. While working to preserve America’s outdoor heritage, I will support and promote effective conservation practices and defend the freedom of Americans to hunt and fish.
