Serving Country, Abandoned by State: The Silent Departure of Military Families from Texas's Largest Bases

Thousands of military families stationed at Fort Cavazos and Fort Bliss are quietly choosing to plant roots elsewhere when given the opportunity, driven by housing costs, limited spousal employment, and inadequate community support.

Whose Water Is It Anyway? The Case for Texas Taking Back Control of Its Lifeblood

Classrooms, Not Committees: Returning Texas Education to the People Who Know Students Best

Federal education mandates have steadily eroded the ability of Texas parents, teachers, and local school boards to make the decisions that matter most for their children. Jeffrey's education agenda would restore meaningful local control, reduce bureaucratic interference, and refocus Texas schools on academic excellence and real-world preparation.
