2026 Texas General Election

I share their commitment to meaningful lawsuit reform because, at the end of the day, it’s not about politics it’s about people. Our constituents benefit directly when we create a fair and predictable legal environment. One of the biggest impacts is lower insurance premiums, which puts real money back into the pockets of hardworking families and small businesses.




That’s the kind of common sense policy Texas deserves.

Trusted Representation

As a pro-business, pro-family, and pro-faith conservative, Gary is fighting for lower taxes, the elimination of property taxes, and fewer government regulations so hardworking Texans can thrive. His strong Republican ties and position within the majority party in Austin will help ensure Hidalgo County receives the infrastructure, investment, and opportunities it deserves.

Gary also played a key leadership role in the Trump Trains movement, which united thousands of patriotic Americans and helped President Trump win the 2024 election in Hidalgo County and across the RGV. His dedication to America First values has earned him recognition for championing strong borders, legal and sensible immigration, and unwavering support for our Constitution, law enforcement, and the military.

A Servant for the People

Gary’s decision to run for the Texas State House of Representatives, District 41, is rooted in one purpose: to serve the people, not the system. He believes public office is not a career but a calling to serve with humility, integrity, and courage. Gary strongly supports term limits, believing no one should hold power indefinitely.




“Government should always be for the people, by the people,” Gary says. “If term limits are not passed, after four terms I will voluntarily step down so others can serve.”

Supports term limits and pledges to voluntarily step down after four terms if term limits are not passed.
