VETERANS AND THE MILITARY

As a veteran himself, Jacques DuBose understands the sacrifices our men and women in uniform, along with their families, make to defend America.

As a nonprofit leader, Jacques DuBose trained veterans in advocacy, equipping them to advocate in their Districts and in Washington D.C. Veterans met with Members of Congress and staffers on crucial issues facing veterans, their families, and their caregivers. He helped veterans navigate the VA and obtain the VA Benefits they earned.

Jacques will work to help bring more VA healthcare centers to Texas and better access to care for veterans in rural communities.

We need real solutions to the veteran suicide crisis. The veteran suicide rate is 34.7 % per 100,000 nearly double that of non-veterans, which is 17.1 % per 100,000. The VA’s most recent research indicates we lose 18 veterans a day to suicide. Better access and more avenues are needed to address the mental health crisis.

MENTAL HEALTH

Texas ranks among the worst states in the U.S. for mental healthcare. Key contributing factors include a Lack of insurance, provider shortages, limited treatment centers, high costs, and insufficient insurance coverage, resulting in inadequate care for youth. Texas also ranks poorly for access to mental health services for children and youth.

Impact: These factors contribute to a large percentage of adults with mental health conditions in Texas not receiving any treatment or inadequate treatment, creating a significant mental health crisis in Texas. More resources are needed to train community leaders, educators, and law enforcement to identify early signs of mental health issues so people can get the crucial help they need as soon as possible.

BORDER SECURITY

Securing our border is essential to protecting our nation’s sovereignty, safety, and future. We must end catch-and-release, close loopholes that allow abuse of America’s asylum system, and put Border Patrol agents back on the frontlines where they belong—not behind desks processing paperwork. I support investing in advanced technology, improving compensation for our agents, and increasing funding for local law enforcement, who shoulder much of the burden. Texas property owners along the border deserve reimbursement for the damages caused by this ongoing crisis. A strong, secure border isn’t just a talking point—it’s a matter of national security and community safety.

EDUCATION & SCHOOL SAFETY

Every child deserves access to a quality education and a safe place to learn. I support education in all its forms—public, charter, private, religious, and homeschooling—because parents, not government bureaucrats, should decide what’s best for their children. The classroom should be where students learn how to think, not what to think. Parents have every right to know what’s being taught and to have a voice in their child’s education.

Decisions about education belong at the local level, where parents, teachers, and community leaders understand their students’ needs—not in Washington, D.C. Local control ensures accountability, transparency, and the flexibility to do what’s best for our kids and our communities.

We must also reinvest in vocational training and the trades, restoring respect for hard work and ensuring students have real career paths—not just college debt.

Just as important, school safety must be nonnegotiable. Our schools should be sanctuaries, not soft targets. I’ll champion stronger security measures, including arming and training willing, qualified staff and utilizing vetted military veterans to help protect our campuses. No student, parent, or teacher should ever fear for their safety at school.

As someone who comes from a family of educators and a long-time volunteer in our public schools—including serving as PTO President at Boerne Middle School South—I’ve seen firsthand the dedication of our teachers and the promise of our students. In Congress, I’ll fight to empower parents, return control to local communities, support teachers, and protect our kids—because the future of Texas starts in the classroom.

AMERICA FIRST

Putting America First means protecting our people, our values, and our future—at home and abroad. I believe every decision made in Washington should strengthen American families, American workers, and American security—not serve global interests or political elites.

We must secure our borders, rebuild our economy, and restore American energy independence. No more reliance on foreign nations for our prosperity or safety. I will fight to bring manufacturing and jobs back home, defend American farmers and small businesses, and ensure that our tax dollars serve the American people—not adversaries or global bureaucrats.

Abroad, we need a foreign policy of strength, not surrender. Peace comes through power, and the world is safest when America leads with clarity, confidence, and conviction. I will support policies that prioritize our national security, our military readiness, and our allies who share our values—while standing firm against those who threaten our freedom.

I stand with President Trump’s America First agenda to restore respect on the world stage, put American workers first, and protect our nation’s sovereignty. It’s time to rebuild a stronger, safer, prouder America—because when America leads, freedom wins.

CRIME, LAW & ORDER

It’s time to restore law and order and make our communities safe again. I will always Back the Blue and stand with the brave men and women of law enforcement who risk their lives every day to protect ours.

We must end the soft-on-crime policies that let violent offenders walk free while law-abiding citizens live in fear. I’ll fight for stronger sentencing for repeat and violent criminals, fully fund police departments, and ensure they have the tools, training, and respect they deserve to do their jobs.

Criminals should fear breaking the law—not count on leniency. From our small towns to our big cities, every Texan deserves to feel safe at home, at work, and in their community. It’s time to put victims before criminals, law enforcement before politics, and justice before excuses.

Law and order aren’t negotiable—they’re the foundation of a free and safe America.

The 2nd Amendment & Free Speech

Our Constitution is not negotiable—and neither are the rights it guarantees. I will fight every day to protect the 2nd Amendment and defend our right to free speech from those who want to silence or disarm law-abiding Americans.

The right to keep and Bear Arms is fundamental to our freedom and security. It’s not about hunting—it’s about ensuring that citizens have the power to defend themselves, their families, and their country. I will oppose every attempt to restrict gun ownership, fight back against unconstitutional red flag laws, and protect responsible gun owners from federal overreach.

Equally vital is our Right to Free Speech—the cornerstone of liberty. No government, corporation, or social media platform should ever dictate what Americans can say, believe, or stand for. I’ll fight to end censorship, hold Big Tech accountable, and protect the free exchange of ideas that defines who we are as a nation.

I took an oath to defend the Constitution—and that oath never expires. In Congress, I’ll stand firm to protect your rights, your voice, and your freedom—because when the Constitution is under attack, silence is not an option.

Defending Life, Faith, Family & Freedom

America’s strength begins with faith, family, and freedom—and I will fight to defend each one with unwavering conviction. I believe every life is sacred, and I will always stand for the unborn and defend those who cannot defend themselves. Protecting innocent life isn’t just a political issue—it’s a moral duty.

Our nation was founded on faith and religious liberty, and I will work tirelessly to safeguard every American’s right to worship freely—without fear, government intrusion, or cultural intimidation. No church, pastor, or person of faith should ever be silenced for living out their beliefs.

Strong families are the foundation of a strong America. I will fight to protect parental rights, preserve traditional values, and push back against the radical cultural agenda that seeks to undermine our children, our morals, and our nation’s future.

Freedom is God-given—not granted by government. I will stand firm against those who want to erode our liberties and redefine our values. Together, we can defend Life, Faith, Family, and Freedom—the pillars that make America the greatest nation on earth.
