Jay Fondren for Congress | Texas 8th Congressional District
Why I’m Running
Like every American who’s worn the uniform, I know the meaning of sacrifice. I also know what it means to rebuild when everything you thought you knew is gone. That same grit is what our country needs right now.
The people of Texas’ 8th District deserve representation that listens, not dictates. We need leaders who will defend our values, protect our families, and fight for our freedoms — not bow to political pressure.
I’m running as the non-establishment Republican because I believe:
-
Power belongs to the people.
-
Government should serve, not rule.
-
Faith and family are the foundation of freedom.
Our Platform
1. Put America — and Texas — First
Washington forgot who it serves. I’ll fight to bring manufacturing, energy, and agriculture back home.
-
End dependence on China and protect American jobs.
-
Unleash Texas oil, gas, and innovation — no more D.C. red tape.
-
Prioritize American industry, fair trade, and strong wages for working families.
2. Defend the Border. Defend Texas
What’s happening at our border is not immigration — it’s an invasion.
-
Finish the wall and enforce the law.
-
Stop cartels, human trafficking, and fentanyl at their source.
-
Empower Texas to defend its own border where Washington refuses.
3. Faith, Family, and Freedom
These aren’t slogans — they’re the backbone of our nation.
-
Protect unborn life and stand firm for religious liberty.
-
Put parents back in charge of their children’s education.
-
Fight back against government intrusion into homes, schools, and churches.
4. Honor Our Veterans. Fix the VA.
I’ve lived the failures of the VA system firsthand. It’s time to rebuild it from the ground up.
-
Reform and modernize VA healthcare with accountability.
-
Give Veterans real choice and access to community care.
-
Protect earned benefits — not entitlements — from bureaucratic neglect.
5. Cut the Waste. Drain the Swamp
The establishment runs on your tax dollars. That ends now.
-
Demand a balanced budget and cut reckless spending.
-
End insider trading and corruption in Congress.
-
Educate voters so public service never becomes self-service.
6. Protect Our Rights — All of Them
Freedom is not negotiable.
-
Defend the Second Amendment without compromise.
-
Protect the First Amendment — speech, faith, and assembly.
-
Stop surveillance and censorship by Big Tech and Big Government alike.
7. Real Representation. Real Results
The people of the 8th District deserve more than talking points — they deserve a fighter.
-
No money strings attached.
-
Open town halls and transparent communication.
-
Every vote cast will be for the people who sent me, not the politicians who ignored them.
