Robert Chick for tx-26

Texans demand Vision

-
End the Culture War
-
Heal the division in America
What I stand for:
Accessibility & Transparency to TX-26 constituents
Anti-Corruption
Americans are hungry for answers and it's my job to deliver.
I don't work for anyone other than you. My constituents come first above all else.
My duty is to make your voice heard, not spend my time chasing cable news interviews. That means being readily available to hear your views on issues, how you want me to vote on legislation, and problems I can help solve. A representative should serve their entire constituency as the Founding Fathers intended, not just those who voted for them or contributed to their campaign fund. My duty is to represent you, not lobbyists or party-line talking points.
Investment in America's Youth
American homes belong to American families.
We've allowed the American Dream (owning a home, starting a family, becoming strong communities) to be sold out from underneath our feet. When foreign & domestic billionaire investors compete with families for homes, prices rise and first-time buyers get squeezed out. It also increases your property taxes. Our generation's youth, without a stake in our country, won’t invest in it's future. We need to focus on giving our nation's youth a shot at participating in the American Dream.
Ban Omnibus Bills
Processes that serve to confuse and discourage accountability in our representatives must end.
Omnibus bills, large packages that bundle thousands of spending items into a single measure, undermine accountability. By allowing unrelated provisions to ride along, they enable measures that would not pass on their own. Their complexity obscures the trade-offs for voters and gives representatives cover to support provisions they would otherwise oppose.
Texas Leads the Way
Washington doesn't run Texas, Texans do.
Texans have always been independent and paved our own way. Local control and fiscal responsibility are core Texas values. I’ll press Washington for flexibility, block one-size-fits-all mandates, and invest where Texans see results: right here at home.
First Responder Designation for Dispatchers
911 Dispatchers need as much support as we have to offer. We need to expand federal First Responder designation to cover them.
Law enforcement leaders have spoken and I'm listening: Dispatchers deserve to have federal recognition as first responders. Every call they take is someone's worst day of their life and that is a difficult job. Let's give them the resources they need to keep our communities safe.
Americans are losing faith in the institutions that made this country strong. Concentrated media power, unlimited lobbying budgets, and unequal accountability have left people feeling powerless and enriched the very officials elected to serve. We'll restore trust by investigating corruption and holding every offender to account, including those who take the kickbacks. This country belongs to the people, not to special interests and their lobbyists.
Ending the Culture War
Anyone can throw a punch. It takes a vision win. We need to be focusing on conversation and conversion, not condemnation. Let's trade outrage for outcomes.
If we aim to shape culture, we must start with hearts & minds of the youth: giving them a hopeful vision of America’s future. "Owning the libs" isn't a winning strategy. Meeting people where they're at and offering them an attainable vision of the American Dream is. It's in understanding that we can begin to love, and it's in loving thy neighbor we grow closer to the Lord.
Division in America
We're countrymen, not enemies. We must come together today, with solutions, to face the problems of tomorrow.
Troubling times are ahead. The impact of AI on our economy, the consolidation of power in the hands of a few, and chronic underinvestment in our youth are the most consequential threats to our national security. To solve these and other problems, we need to come together on a clear, actionable vision for America’s future, so We the People keep control of it.
Remove foreign influence in American institutions
No more blank checks abroad; it's time to start investing in prosperity at home.
It’s unacceptable to underwrite foreign governments while Americans struggle at home. Over the last two decades, we've spent trillions helping foreign countries while students fall behind, bridges crumble, and American citizens suffer. We need strong leadership to end undue foreign influence, impose strict accountability on every dollar spent, and put American citizens first.
Smart Immigration policies
We need smart, effective policies that stop illegal immigration while protecting the rights of American citizens.
Texas will secure the border and protect the civil liberties of those here lawfully. Enforcement must be targeted, lawful, and accountable. Indiscriminate arrests by federal agents operating in our state violate Texas values and risk our constitutional rights. We can apprehend and remove those here unlawfully while upholding due process and rejecting cruelty.
Problems & Solutions
Property Taxes / Youth Homeownership
Problem: 1)Your property taxes & 2) the American Dream (owning a home, starting a family, building strong communities) is unattainable to the average, working 25-year old.
Solution: Ban foreign and domestic business entities from buying up single-family homes, an exploit that inflates home prices (and your property taxes) and blocks young Americans from buying their first home. American homes belong to American families.
Ending the Culture War
Problem: While we've been trying to score points by "owning the libs" or "dunking on MAGA", the working American's quality of life has gotten worse.
Solution: When we make the American Dream real again for our youth, with hope and optimism, we secure America’s future & usher in a new era of American politics; one where parties compete to improve lives, not frighten hearts.
Govt. Accountablility / Transparency
Problem: Money in politics has made elected officials more accountable to lobbyists and foreign governments than to their own constituents.
Solution: I will never solicit nor accept any donations for any reason both in my campaign and in my tenure serving as your representative. When you're fighting for what you believe in, money isn't important.

TX-26 Issues & Solutions
You're talking. I'm listening.
Insurance Transparency
You deserve an answer as to why your insurance premiums continue to rise year after year. I intend to get you one.
Investment in youth homeownership in Texas
We need to invest in our nation's youth with purpose.
Americans are fed up with rising premiums and the lack of transparency about where your money goes. It's time to get down to the bottom of this issue and get you some answers.
Support Texas Community Hospitals
Hospitals provide communities a critical service. They can't be allowed to close because of bureaucrats in Washington.
Small community hospitals across the country are under attack due to reckless budgetary cuts from the federal government. I'm going to fight to get our hospitals the federal money they need to continue healing lives.
Eliminating Social Security Tax
You've earned it. You get to keep it.
Taxes on Social Security generated roughly $55 billion dollars in 2024. While that may seem like a lot, it's a paltry sum compared to the entire United States budget. While individuals over 65 can now claim a $6,000 deduction, why should the elderly have to chase benefits that they've earned? I'll bring legislature to the floor of Congress that protects fixed income from government greed.
In order keep Texas' economy and community dynamics strong, we need to focus on making sure the American Dream is attainable for the youth who are willing to work for it. I'll advocate for first-time homeowner incentives with reasonable borrowing terms so young Americans everywhere can start families and contribute positively to the communities they call home.
Texas Electricity
& Water Allocation
Texas resources to Texans, not out-of-state cryptocurrency miners and datacenters.
There have been far too many examples of big corporate entities coming to Texas, chasing sweetheart tax-exemptions, to drain our beautiful waterways and jack up electricity prices for their profit. I'll fight to bring legislation that protects communities from corporate raiders and puts the power back in the hands of citizens.
Private and Public Education
We have the money to fund the choices parents want to make.
We must refuse the false dichotomy of whether to fund private or public education in our state. There's enough money to properly fund both; the problem is how it's being spent currently. I pledge to fight so we don't fall into a tiered education system while also allowing parents the freedom to choose where and how their children are educated.
Ways to support:
Show the country we can run campaigns based on solutions, not money. Vote for me March 3rd.
I don't believe supporting a cause you believe in requires a significant amount of money; only a desire to understand and serve. I'll never ask for campaign contributions nor will I seek money from any organization, business interest, or other groups. The best way to support is a referral to neighbors, friends, or family who might share our vision of a better America.
