ISSUES
End All Discrimination
Who you are, what you love or who you love, should not be a reason to be discriminated against.
Discrimination affects Texans all over the state.
As Governor I pledge to fight:
Texans still find themselves profiled at traffic stops, fighting sex-biased judges in family court, fired for their non-traditional personal relationships, for their support of political causes, or unemployed because of the hobbies they enjoy in their time off.
I do not care how someone identifies, presents, what political ideology they have, who they love, what kinks they have, what recreational activities they like, what religion or spirituality they are, where they came from, or what language they speak, if they are not hurting another person, no business has the right to discriminate and no employer has the right to terminate your employment.
Texans have the right to pursue their happiness. The state in it’s role as the protector, should ensure you can do so without harm or discrimination.
It is my goal in pursuing your freedom, that Texas become both the beacon of freedom and the mecca of spirituality in our darkening world.
Who you are, what you love or who you love, should not be a reason to be discriminated against.
Discrimination affects Texans all over the state.
As Governor I pledge to fight:
- to ensure ALL people are treated equally and fairly
- ALL forms of discrimination are met with swift and heavy action

Your Life Matters
When we ensure every child can grow up in a safe neighborhood then we can say this.
Keeping You Safe is a Primary Obligation of Government
This means lower socioeconomic neighborhoods have to be just as safe as the upper socioeconomic neighborhoods. Making safer neighborhoods means that every neighborhood can be an option for all people to live. This will encourage new home buyers and investors, businesses can thrive and grow, and opportunities will be abundant for the people who live there.
This obligation, means that we must make preventing murder, abduction, pedophilia, and human trafficking our highest priority. We must change our focus and our tactics, to preserve all life. Law enforcement must be better at handling the most vulnerable situations by supplanting violent force with mental health training, grappling training, and new technology to more safely apprehend suspects. We also need to be accountable for our mistakes and when we make them, we must move to make it right expeditiously.
Every police department should have civilian oversight that helps to set procedure, policy and neighborhood directives. In addition to ending qualified immunity, community members should have a say in what actions to pursue against officers who violate the trust of the neighborhood, the law, department procedures or policies. At every step in policing, the community must consent to the authority because true authority comes from consent.
My support for peaceful protest is absolute, our constitution grants this right without question. There exists, no such right to terrorize our citizens through violent acts. Our society would also crumble without the vital role our police serve. I support the thousands of selfless law enforcement officers among us who work to that end.
Right now, the overwhelming threat to people living in lower socioeconomic areas are domestic violent organized crime groups, otherwise described as domestic terrorists. When I refer to domestic terrorist, I mean not just lone wolf shooters, or the alt-right, I mean every organized, or semi-organized group who seeks to intimidate or coerce people through violence. This means violent members of “1%” outlaw motorcycle gangs, street gangs, and cartels.
These domestic terrorists murder more innocent life than any other group. The tactics needed to handle them is different than ones needed to maintain civility, for without converting our local police to paramilitary groups, we are left with few options. The public has shown that a militarized police force is not supported.
Along with installing better street lighting and the continuing social outreach in these areas, we must shift our resources. Our highly trained state military forces lack the authority to arrest civilians but not the authority to stand guard. In affected neighborhoods, they can be stationed outside gang clubs, to stand watch in high crime areas and ensure residents are safe when they sleep, when their babies head off to school, or when they are sitting home eating dinner.
We must break the cycle of violence, provide opportunity to restore the American family structure, and ensure everyone can live safely in the pursuit of their happiness.
We would essentially will be relieving the police of the gang war.

End the drug war and restore the civil rights of its victims.
We are finished ruining lives.
As Governor,
I understand that this is a controversial issue to many Texans. Some may support legalization of drugs like marijuana but feel “hard drugs” like heroin and methamphetamine are too dangerous. We understand those concerns. My wife and I have both lost people close to us due to heroin. Due to D.A.R.E. programs we have been raised to believe that if drugs like those are legalized, society would descend into one big drug den.
However, there are two important points on why legalization is a good idea. One, drug money is what finances violent gangs and drug cartels, which are responsible for a whole collection of crimes, ranging from human trafficking, to murder. The other is that evidence is mounting that addiction is not caused by the substances themselves but by the mental state of the person taking them.
Let’s look at the research on mental health and addiction. An experiment was done on cocaine in the 1970’s, where they put a rat alone in a cage with two water bottles, one was plain water and the other was laced with cocaine. Without exception, the rats drank the cocaine laced water, going back for more and more, until they eventually overdosed. This experiment was used as an example of cocaine’s addictiveness and the warning went out to the public, that if they tried cocaine, they would end up like the rats.
Dr. Bruce Alexander had another theory. He theorized, that it was because the rats where isolated in empty cages with nothing to do, that they used the cocaine water to medicate themselves out of their misery. He repeated the experiment but this time kept rats together in an ideal habitat, with a stimulating environment and social interaction, nicknamed “rat park”. With the additional stimulus of this rat park, rats partook of the cocaine water only intermittently and never became addicted. In addition, rats that were addicted under the original solitary conditions, completely recovered from their addiction when moved to rat park. (read about Alexander’s studies here)
Is the average person who smokes a joint every night, suddenly going to be shooting up heroin instead, just because it’s legal? Probably not. People turn to hard drugs because they are having a hard time. What they need is help with their mental health. While a big portion of drug sales tax will go to schools, replacing property taxes, a sizable portion must go to mental health. We need to treat the underlying cause of addiction. In addition, with the decriminalization of psilocybin, MDMA, and other therapeutic drugs, mental health professionals will have valuable tools to help treat underlying mental illness.
Let’s turn to the other main point for drug legalization, gangs and drug cartels. The US has spent years and billions of dollars trying to eradicate them to no avail, for a simple reason, this dirty business is a huge source of revenue. If drugs are fully legalized and regulated what drug user is going to go to a criminal for their drugs when they have a safe, pure, and legal supplier. Do we go to a backwoods distiller when we want some liquor? No, we go to the liquor store.
This will effectively cut the revenue stream from the criminals. With no revenue they will cease to be able to operate. Imagine an inner city area without gang violence. Young men will no longer be sucked into a life of crime, leaving single moms to raise children vulnerable to the same dangers. Family life will be restored. This in turn will prevent a lot of the psychological damage that makes people turn to drugs in the first place.
Then there are the smaller but still not insignificant benefits of legalization. Minor drug convictions have pushed otherwise lawful citizens to the fringes of our society. With a criminal record they have a harder time seeking employment and are relegated to low-paying jobs. This in turn makes a life of crime more tempting.
We also cannot dismiss the real and incredible reports all across the world, in online communities and social circles, of life-altering spiritual experiences powered through these natural compounds. Throughout history, different cultures have used psychedelics as part of their religious beliefs and in the spirit of our constitution we will restore that right. No one will be deprived of their ability to practice their spirituality or religion.
It is time the government pulled it’s nose out of our spiritual asses.
We are finished ruining lives.
As Governor,
- I will file suit against the federal government for violating the 1st Amendment, depriving Americans of their right to freely practice shamanistic religions.
- I will exert every available tool to end this drug war on day 1.
- For those deprived of your civil rights over victimless crimes, I will not stop fighting to restore your civil rights to you.
- I will fight to free everyone in prison due to prohibition enforcement.

Giving Texans A Better Democracy
Our democracy doesn't give Texans a big enough seat at the table.
Your seat at the table is too damn small.
As Governor, I pledge:
Our democracy doesn't give Texans a big enough seat at the table.
Your seat at the table is too damn small.
As Governor, I pledge:
- I will not be another king Abbott. There are 29 million people in Texas, with all of those potential leaders, no one person should preside for more than a term. Politicians like Abbott are out of touch because they spend their entire lives around political office, kissing butt and hosting dinners. It’s time we make these people move over, and make room for new leaders with fresh from the ground perspectives.
- When my term is ending, I will step aside, I will put all of my support and efforts behind someone entirely new for this office.
- that if you make a change.org petition and gather 10,000 signatures in 30 days, I’ll review your petition, make sure it gets in front of the appropriate legislators and experts, and issue an official response.
- I pledge to not sign any legislation that does not grant Texans terms to hold a referendum, which allows citizens to repeal legislation that is not supported by the people. We have spent far too long at the mercy of self-serving politicians, who ignore our basic desires while they chase glory.
- I will do everything in my power to restore the civil rights of the thousands of Texans who have been deprived of their civil rights, and who have repaid their debts to society.
- I will fight to get men relief from child support cases where it is discovered the child is not theirs.
- I will fight to end qualified immunity. I support the police, but we all must be accountable to the people we serve.
- I will fight to ensure financial accountability, that our public equipment, paid for by taxes is not being used for personal gain. Texans debt has sky rocketed under Abbott, the rich are getting richer at the expense of regular Texans.
- I will fight to get Texans the right to initiate legislation through a clear process. Gaining initiative is going to be a challenge. The state of Texas does not grant that right in the state constitution. Reforming our democracy is going to take an empathetic and selfless group of legislators and you, coming together to be heard.
- I will fight to provide Texans with transparency. Today when web applications can be built with drag and drop tools, there is no reason Texans should need Freedom of Information requests to access body camera footage, government documents, or other data used within government. All data should be freely available and easily accessible.
- I will not sign off on gerrymandered districts, like Houston’s insanely drawn district 2.
- I will cut operational and maintenance spending, saving tax payers billions, by modernizing our government infrastructure. Combining technologies like mobile applications with high security technologies, such as blockchain, can put government in your pocket so that you can securely acquire licenses, register a car or even vote from the library or your living room in minutes.
- I support modernizing our elections with Ranked Choice Voting (RCV) to allow voters to vote how they truly want. RCV brings elections in line with the spirit of consent of the governed.
- I will fight to reduce operating expenses for tax payers by reducing the bureaucratic burden placed on business and eliminating redundant agencies such as the Texas Alcohol Beverage Commission (TABC).
True Home Ownership
The right to property is a basic civil right.
Owning your home is a basic human right, this right is under attack from rising taxes.
Unfortunately, our leaders have built an incredibly vast system that directly infringes on this right. You never truly own a home when it can be taken from you.
Currently your home residence can be taken for unpaid property taxes, imminent domain or unpaid fines and fees within an HOA.
I will fight to give Texans the property rights they deserve. Make no mistake, this effort is going to be hard, it is going take someone fighting for you, the cooperation of your representatives in Austin, and most importantly your support!
This means ending imminent domain, ending property tax foreclosures, and HOA foreclosures. These entities can already place liens, and use the civil courts to seek judgements for payment, there is no reason to violate property rights to accomplish their goals.
We can take ourselves off a support system that infringes on our right to own our homes, but we can’t simply pull the rug out on that system. Ending the drug war will enable sales of products like marijuana, that when taxed like the Colorado system, will enable us to generate billions in tax revenue. Colorado has been a huge of success. Texas has a lot more land and a lot more people, we should eventually be able to generate 10 billion in new taxes off marijuana sales alone.
Implementing this system must begin with the people most vulnerable to increases in residential property tax, not the richest among us, but those on fixed retirement and disability incomes. Texans on disability and retirement incomes pay roughly 9 billion in taxes per year on their primary residence, we can remove this burden for them, stabilize their lives. With the additional revenues from sales tax of products like psilocybin and hemp, we can expand this further to reduce the infringing taxes on primary residences for all Texans.
We will also be able to reform education opportunities across Texas. When the funds for schools come from a state-wide revenue stream, we eliminate the funding disparity between rich and poor neighborhoods. We can ensure all schools are funded equally. Children deserve an equal chance to reach their potential and the under-funding of their school due to the socioeconomic status of their neighborhood should not be what prevents them from achieving greatness.
When we remove the burden of residential property tax collection from municipalities, we will be able to reduce the size of government in those areas, further reducing the need for your homes to be taxed.
Only when you can own your home free and clear, can you be truly free.

Your Data Privacy
Protect your inalienable right to control your likeness and your data.
As an IT professional and data scientist, I can attest first hand that data collection has gotten out of hand. Marketers and social media platforms collect far beyond what the average person expects. This collection typically takes place without explicit permission, from your photos, your videos, to your GPS. When permission does exist in some form, it is in extensive legalese that requires a graduate degree to decipher.
Your data is yours. The same as a private enterprise can own intellectual property and likeness, you own your biometric data, and your likeness. It is not anyone’s to profit from, collect, or warehouse, without your explicit and ongoing permission.
Any company that collects your data without your explicit, clearly conveyed permission, or who keeps your data in the event that permission is revoked, is engaging in piracy of your rights over your likeness and violating your privacy.
Social media giants are going to fight this. Our current crop of politicians love lobbyists, and they have no interest in fighting these big businesses over your data.
I pledge that I will fight them with your support.

Keep Texas Clean
Texas isn’t growing more land but it is growing in people. It is more important than ever to keep Texas clean for ourselves and future generations.
Renewable Energy
Today we are seeing much more of our energy come from wind and solar. Texas generated 19% of its electricity from wind last year (source). It is time to embrace being a renewables state not only an oil and gas state.
As Governor, I pledge to reign in subsidies for oil and gas, which continue to grow (source). I am going to level the playing field so that renewables can compete fairly with fossil fuels. This will further enable competition in the marketplace and slow down the state’s ballooning debt (source). This plan reduces costs to tax payers.
Reducing Emissions and Congestion
I am also going to push for relief from the costs associated with toll roads for vehicles such as gas and electric motorcycles . It takes thousands of motorcycles to equal the damage of a single 18-wheeler truck on the road (source), and motorcycles can reduce traffic and emissions around the state. A well known Belgian study by the Belgian Consultancy Transport and Mobility, conducted in 2012, reported that if just 10 percent of all private automobiles were replaced by motorcycles or scooters, congestion would drop by a substantial and noticeable 40 percent (source). Motorcycle production also entails dramatically less pollution than passenger automobiles (source). This plan costs tax payers nothing.
Cleanup Programs
If you’ve been to a beach around the Gulf of Mexico, you’ve no doubt seen the incredible amount of trash along our shores. Texas beaches get millions of visitors each year, let’s incentivize these visitors to keep Texas clean by refunding park fees in exchange for trash pickup. Then let’s expand this to all parks. This plan reduces costs for tax payers.
Sustainable Living
There is also a lot we can do around around our homes from recycling bio waste into soil blends, such as that produced by the city of Denton’s Dyno Dirt program (source), to ensuring all municipalities have recycling programs, and working to improve our food biome. A better food biome ensures that our produce is its freshest and our waste useful.
Check out Joel Salatin's ideas for great things you can do at home and business to improve your food biome.
