The Choice

PATCHWORK vs. STRUCTURAL

The establishment offers band-aids for bullet holes.
We offer a complete reconstruction of the foundation.

Policy, Vision, & Website by Daniel Johns

Property Tax

The Status Quo

The Appraisal Trap

Cuts rates slightly while appraisal values skyrocket, resulting in higher actual bills. "Relief" is temporary and eaten by inflation. You rent your home from the state forever.

The Renaissance

0% Homestead Tax

Complete elimination of property tax on primary residences. You own your home. Revenue is replaced by consumption and closing loopholes on mega-corps.

The Grid

The Status Quo

Fragile & Weather-Dependent

Patchwork fixes passed on to taxpayers. Still heavily reliant on wind/solar without sufficient battery backup. Winter storms remain a life-threatening gamble.

The Renaissance

Sovereign & Nuclear

Mandatory winterization paid by providers, not you. Fast-tracked Small Modular Reactors (SMRs) for unshakeable baseload power that ignores the weather.

Tenure

The Status Quo

Career Politicians

30+ years in government. Governance becomes a career path to wealth. Entrenchment leads to special interest capture and complacency ("Three Strikes").

The Renaissance

Strict Term Limits

12 years max for Governor. You serve, you do your duty, you leave. Mandatory rotation flushes the swamp and kills corruption at the root.

Ethics

The Status Quo

Insider Benefits

Politicians trade individual stocks in industries they regulate. Dark money donations are hidden in siloed databases. Fines are just "cost of business."

The Renaissance

People Over Portfolios

Total ban on individual stock trading for officials. Centralized, real-time donation tracking. The TEC gets subpoena power to disqualify cheaters.

Housing

The Status Quo

Wall St. Landlords

Massive hedge funds are buying up entire neighborhoods, driving up prices and forcing Texans into a permanent "rentership society."

The Renaissance

The "Inverse SEC"

A new agency to protect families from investors. We ban corporations with >$50M assets from buying single-family homes.

Spending

The Status Quo

Hidden Bureaucracy

To see where your tax dollars go, you have to file complicated FOIA requests and wait months. Corruption hides in the complexity.

The Renaissance

The Texas Checkbook

Real-time transparency. Every check written by the state is posted online within 48 hours. Citizen bounties awarded for finding waste.

Security

The Status Quo

Offshore Risks

Your sensitive data (health, banking) is handled by call centers in countries with no privacy laws, fueling scams against the elderly.

The Renaissance

Texas Data Borders

All sensitive Texas data must be housed in the US. Corporations are strictly liable for any fraud originating from their vendors.

"We can’t solve problems by using the same kind of thinking we used when we created them."

CHANGE

The status quo is comfortable for them, but costly for you.
