American foreign policy must be approached with a proper “America First” mindset. For far too long, we’ve poured trillions of dollars into endless wars that offer no returns for our people. That money should be invested at home. In our veterans, our infrastructure, our schools, and our communities.
We can lead in the world without policing it. Supporting key allies doesn’t mean bankrupting our own country or sacrificing American lives in conflicts that don’t serve our national interest. Real strength comes from secure borders, a strong military, and clear priorities that put America’s people first.
Steve Stockman has often positioned himself as skeptical of extensive U.S. involvement in foreign conflicts, arguing in Congress that America should prioritize national sovereignty and domestic issues over costly international struggles. While he advocated for a strong national defense and supported the military, Stockman criticized the Obama administration for its weak foreign policy, which he believed undermined American values during the international crisis of the mid-2010s.
Families in South Texas aren’t worried about partisan squabbles in Washington. They’re concerned about jobs, energy bills, and safety. That’s where our focus should be.
Common-sense politics means returning power to the people. It’s about implementing action, not ideology, to solve problems that matter, rather than protecting the interests of career politicians. Where others bow to party pressure, authentic leadership means standing firm for your community and refusing to forget who you work for.
Stockman has branded himself as a champion of common sense politics, which for him means cutting government red tape, reducing taxes, and addressing the cost of living. He is a voice for everyday Texans who are frustrated by Washington's bureaucracy and excessive spending. His proposals, such as eliminating unnecessary congressional perks and allowing service members to carry firearms on military bases, reinforce his image as a practical, results-oriented conservative.
We should be proud to be American. That pride means honoring our flag, teaching our children about our history, and defending the principles of free speech and hard work.
No nation is perfect, but America’s story has always been one of resilience and redemption. Our values have carried us through every test. Pride in our country isn’t nostalgia; it’s the fuel that keeps our republic strong and united.
Throughout his career, Stockman has celebrated national pride and positioned himself as a defender of traditional cultural norms, criticizing moral and social decline under liberal governance. The spirit of our nation cannot be sacrificed, as it breathes life into the constitution and our bureaucracy, which falter without moral substance backing them.
Families across South Texas are being crushed by rising costs. Reckless spending in
Washington and restrictive energy policies have driven inflation to record highs, forcing working people to stretch every dollar further.
The path forward is clear: rein in federal waste, restore American energy independence, and strengthen our local industries: oil, gas, agriculture, and trade. By prioritizing smart, practical policies, we can lower prices and bring opportunities back to South Texas.
Stockman consistently opposed tax hikes and large spending bills, arguing that deregulation and smaller government would naturally reduce household costs. His opposition to the Affordable Care Act reflected his belief that government intervention raises expenses for working families. Stockman has a history of valuing local pragmatism over ideological bickering, providing Texans with relief from the everyday financial burdens they face.
South Texas feels the effects of an unsecured border every day. Strained schools, overcrowded hospitals, rising crime, and human trafficking. Border security isn’t a partisan issue; it’s a matter of sovereignty and safety.
We believe in legal immigration and enforcement that protects our communities. That means ending catch-and-release, completing critical physical barriers, and giving Border Patrol the resources they need to do their job. A secure border is the foundation of a safe America.
Border security is Steve Stockman’s most consistent and emphatic issue. Representing Texas districts close to the southern border, he accurately sees illegal immigration as a direct threat to American sovereignty, often describing the situation as an “invasion.” Stockman supported expanding border enforcement, closing immigration loopholes, and withholding federal funding from sanctuary jurisdictions.
