A Proven Organizer for Liberty
I’ve spent more than two decades building the Libertarian Party at every level: from local county organizing to serving as Vice Chair of the Libertarian National Committee. I’m ready to put that experience to work for LPTexas as your next Vice Chair.
I live in San Antonio, where I work as an IT manager and systems administrator and represent Senate District 19 on the LPTexas State Libertarian Executive Committee. I currently serve as Secretary of the Bexar County Libertarian Party and previously chaired the San Bernardino County Libertarian Party in California, after serving on the county executive committee there. I’ve also led a large homeowners’ association, representing over 5,000 residents.
Before my professional and political work in Texas, I served in the U.S. Army with deployments to both Iraq and Afghanistan. That experience reinforced my commitment to peace, limited government, and real accountability for those who wield power in our name.
Transparency. Effectiveness. Accountability.
A Vice Chair should do more than hold a title. The job is to keep the organization honest, focused, and productive. These are the principles that guide how I lead and how I expect our party to operate.
Let Members See What’s Really Happening
I’ve been outspoken nationally about the need for open meetings, clear records, and limiting unnecessary executive sessions. Members deserve to see how decisions are made so they can trust the outcomes.
- Support public reporting on major SLEC votes and decisions.
- Publish clear summaries of budgets, contracts, and key processes.
- Default to openness, with confidentiality only when truly necessary.
Turn Principles into Results
As Vice Chair of the LNC, I’ve worked on modernizing membership and fundraising programs and improving internal systems so volunteers can spend more time on outreach and less on chaos.
- Use data to prioritize where we recruit, run, and lobby.
- Standardize best practices and share them statewide.
- Measure outcomes, not just intentions and social media posts.
Serve the Members, Not the Other Way Around
Officers serve at the pleasure of the members. That means taking responsibility when things go wrong, fixing problems quickly, and never hiding behind process to avoid hard truths.
- Regular reporting from officers to SLEC and members.
- Clear expectations for committees and departments.
- Follow-through on commitments with visible milestones.
Three Priorities for Texas
As Vice Chair, my job is to help the Chair and SLEC turn our platform into concrete progress. In Texas, that means focusing on three strategic priorities: Membership Growth, Running Candidates, and Legislative Action.
Membership Growth
More members mean more candidates, more donations, more volunteers, and more leverage in Austin and in our communities.
- Modernize onboarding and follow-up for new signups and donors.
- Use targeted outreach to grow in underrepresented regions.
- Align state and local membership efforts so activists aren’t working at cross-purposes.
- Support proven programs that have grown membership at the national level and adapt them for Texas.
Running Candidates
The Libertarian Party exists to put liberty on the ballot. We need more candidates, better prepared, and better supported.
- Help build a predictable candidate recruitment calendar each cycle.
- Coordinate candidate training with our county affiliates and issue coalitions.
- Prioritize wins: focus resources on winnable local races and strategic legislative contests.
- Support local affiliates in identifying and preparing future candidates now, not at filing deadline.
Legislative Action
Texans should feel our presence in the legislature, even when we don’t yet hold the seats. That means being organized, persistent, and visible.
- Strengthen LPTexas’ legislative tracking and response so we can mobilize quickly.
- Coordinate testimony, call campaigns, and coalition work around key bills.
- Highlight legislators who advance or attack liberty and make sure our members know.
- Use legislative fights to recruit activists and future candidates across Texas.
What I’ll Do in My First Year
The Vice Chair’s role is to support the Chair, keep projects moving, and make sure the party’s work stays aligned with member priorities. Here’s how I intend to serve in that role:
- Audit our systems: Review our current membership, candidate support, and legislative processes to identify what’s working and what’s not.
- Improve communication: Work with officers and staff to deliver consistent updates to members and affiliates after each SLEC meeting.
- Support county growth: Help affiliates adopt simple, battle-tested tools for outreach, events, and follow-up.
- Back the Chair and SLEC: Keep projects on track, help resolve conflicts, and ensure we’re spending our limited time and money where it has the most impact.
How You Can Hold Me Accountable
If I’m elected Vice Chair of LPTexas, I invite you to:
- Ask questions about votes, budgets, and priorities.
- Invite me to your county meetings, I’ll show up when I can.
- Expect clear, timely reporting after major decisions.
- Tell me when something isn’t working so we can fix it.
I don’t expect a free pass. I expect to be judged on whether we actually grow membership, run more candidates, and advance liberty in Texas.

Whether you’re a longtime activist or brand new to the party, there’s a role for you. We can only accomplish these goals if we work together.
