I’m running for Lieutenant Governor of Texas as an Independent. It’s time to fund our public schools, restore common sense, and end the chaos and culture wars in Austin.

To data centers wanting to come to Texas: bring your own water and your own power. Texans shouldn’t face higher bills and shortages so you can boost profits. Too bad the politicians running this state won’t say the same. bit.ly/txdatacenters

Gerrymandering has become pure poison to American democracy. Only independent candidates can save our country from political self- destruction. Join the independent movement!!

The Lt Gov doesn’t have a say in immigration policy, but he should!! Because a policy designed to make headlines but that leaves Texas without workers is plain stupid. What does Patrick have to say? Nothing. eedition.houstonchronicle.com/infinity/artic…

The looming water disaster in Texas’ Coastal Bend is due to government stupidity and incompetence. We MUST try something new. That’s why several Texas candidates are rounding up signatures to run as independents! eedition.houstonchronicle.com/infinity/artic…

It is infuriating to see politicians fight each other over our state’s water infrastructure rather than deal with the problems constructively. What ever happened to the Texas, the state that that once had its act together? eedition.houstonchronicle.com/infinity/artic…

Now that Texas is shelling out hundreds of $millions through vouchers, Texans are right to demand a thorough, independent, comprehensive, audit before any more funds are approved. It cannot be conducted by the politician who forced this on us. eedition.houstonchronicle.com/infinity/artic…

Just where are data centers in West Texas going to get power and water??!! And why on earth do they get massive tax breaks?? Texan are right to demand answers. eedition.houstonchronicle.com/infinity/artic…

Data centers will have a very hard time convincing me they are good for the state of Texas! Meantime they will be dolling out tons of cash to lawmakers who only care about one thing: cash. eedition.houstonchronicle.com/infinity/artic…

Only a fool would encourage water-guzzling data centers to locate in Texas! I want to hear Dan Patrick say forcefully that he won’t support data centers worsening our failing water and power infrastructure. eedition.houstonchronicle.com/infinity/artic…

Texas does not have the water or power infrastructure to support AI. Watch out for window dressing by a legislature drunk on corporate money. eedition.houstonchronicle.com/infinity/artic…

Texas’ so-called leaders are deliberately ignoring the impact data centers will have on our water resources. Texans know this, and we are gearing up to send a lot of them packing… eedition.houstonchronicle.com/infinity/artic…

I don’t know about you, but I think forcing TSA employees to work without pay is outrageous. I think a four-hour wait at the airport is insulting. And I think the partisan blame game is disgusting. The two party system is a disaster for our great country! cnn.com/2026/03/27/pol…

Four hours in line to catch a flight. Exploding gasoline prices. Economic misery headed our way. Blame a failed two party system and the idiot government that results. Time for Americans to once again declare our independence! eedition.houstonchronicle.com/infinity/artic…

Texas’ school voucher applications close today. Early data shows most applicants attended a private school or home-school as of last year.  houstonpublicmedia.org/articles/educa…

Texans should demand an ongoing, comprehensive, INDEPENDENT audit of taxpayer dollars used for vouchers. By independent, I mean NOT under the supervision of the politicians who designed the program.

Texas deserves better than political theater. I’m running for Lt. Governor to bring common sense back to Austin, lower property taxes, and strengthen our public schools. Join us. collierfortexas.com

You say Republicans are pro-business? Their leaders aren’t! Top Republican elected officials have turned radical and their policies actually harm Texas’ economic growth.

Texans are right to demand a thorough audit of the tax dollars being spent on Dan Patrick’s voucher scheme. Texans are also right to demand great public schools, which vouchers do nothing to support.

The GOP’s massive loss in Fort Worth isn’t a wake-up call for voters, Mr. Patrick—it’s a warning to politicians who mistake power for popularity. When voters reject your agenda, you lose. And no amount of influence or money changes that reality.

There is a direct connection between our massive, ruinous federal deficit and the ridiculous notion that schools don’t need funding: that connection is the prevalence of pandering idiots in high office. dallasnews.com/business/2026/…
