Push polling is deceptive.

💢 PRESS RELEASE 💢

Stop Unethical Polling in House District 9

On January 15, 2026, I joined the Republican Party of Texas (RPT) in asking candidates to stop using unethical polling practices. You can read the statement in full in the image. You can also find the resolution adopted by the Republican Party of Texas here.

The RPT issued a statement Tuesday, calling upon "all Republican candidates, campaigns, consultants, and allied organizations to categorically reject and refrain from any use of push polling." Push polling is a deceptive and unethical practice in which voters are contacted under the guise of a seemingly objective survey while being fed false, misleading, or defamatory information.

"The Texas GOP chairman and vice-chair call upon all county chairs and precinct chairs to call out and dismiss such a practice. Dirty tricks have no business in a fair election in Texas," the statement concluded.

For me, this is a serious issue. I heard from voters across Angelina, Houston, Polk, San Augustine, Trinity, and Tyler counties that have received hundreds of calls, which seem to begin as a poll and quickly expand to falsehoods.

My opponent's big donors, Austin lobbyists, and allies use these dirty tactics because they'll do anything to win. They are aware of my legislative experience and knowledge of the issues affecting East Texans in our district. I welcome a debate on the issues, but my opponent would rather have phone bankers call voters than do it himself and have to answer the hard questions concerning this position.

Having worked with so many conservative grassroots organizations and listening to many constituents in House District 9, I understand this district's needs.

In the Texas legislature, we need a fighter who wants to protect our income and not take more from it. We should be reducing the size of government, not increasing it. I will serve the needs of Texans by addressing what matters to them. That starts by listening, which is why I meet with the people every day of this campaign, and I look forward to more great conversations with the voters of this district.
