Put America First. Stop the Genocide.
America was founded on the ideals of liberty, justice, and human dignity. Today, those ideals are under assault—not just at home, but in the choices our government makes abroad. We believe that our foreign policy should reflect the values of the American people: a commitment to peace, a defense of human rights, and a government that puts our citizens before special interests and foreign lobbies.

Ceasefire Now. Full Accountability for War Crimes.
We demand an immediate and permanent ceasefire in Gaza. Over 120,000 civilians—mostly women and children—have been killed, and countless others displaced, injured, or traumatized in a war funded with U.S. tax dollars. There is now a famine with hundreds of thousands of innocent civilians starving. This is a humanitarian catastrophe and a moral stain on our nation’s conscience.
We will end the blank checks to Israel, illegal land grabs. No more billions in unconditional military aid that fuel indiscriminate bombings, apartheid policies, and human suffering.
- We will reject the influence of AIPAC and other foreign lobby groups that distort U.S. foreign policy in favor of endless war and occupation.
- We support full investigations and international accountability for war crimes, including those committed by any nation receiving U.S. support.
The American people are not complicit in genocide—we are demanding an end to it.
Break the Military-Industrial Complex. No More Endless Wars.
Our foreign policy has been hijacked by defense contractors, billion-dollar arms manufacturers, and the revolving door between government and weapons lobbyists. It’s time to put a stop to this corrupt system that profits off the death of innocent people abroad while ignoring urgent needs at home.
- We oppose war with Iran or any reckless escalation in the Middle East that puts American lives and global stability at risk.
- We will vote against any future military authorization that lacks clear objectives, defined timelines, and Congressional oversight.
- We will expose and challenge the military-industrial complex that funnels your tax dollars into weapons instead of schools, hospitals, and infrastructure.
War should always be the last resort—never the first option or a profitable business.
Human Rights Are Not Optional. They Are Universal.
While Gaza has become a flashpoint for global outrage, it is far from the only place where innocent people suffer under the weight of oppression, violence, and injustice. Our campaign stands in solidarity with all peoples facing genocide, occupation, or ethnic cleansing—no matter where they live or who they are.
We demand peace, dignity, and justice for:
- The people of Sudan, caught in a horrific civil war that has displaced millions and killed tens of thousands. We call for an end to foreign meddling, full humanitarian access, and a peaceful, democratic resolution driven by the Sudanese people.
- The Uyghur Muslims of China, who have been subjected to forced labor, surveillance, religious persecution, and internment camps. We call this what it is: a genocide. The U.S. must lead global efforts to end it.
- The people of Kashmir, who deserve peace, autonomy, and the right to self-determination free from military occupation and censorship. We support demilitarization and dialogue, not more bloodshed.
- The Rohingya of Myanmar, driven from their homes in mass atrocities, still living stateless in refugee camps. We support international legal accountability and a safe, voluntary return with full citizenship rights.
- The Tibetan people of China, who continue to face cultural erasure, forced assimilation, destruction of monasteries, and denial of religious freedom. We support their right to preserve their identity, heritage, and autonomy.
- The Ukrainian people, resisting invasion and mass displacement, who deserve sovereignty, freedom, and protection of their lives and lands from aggression.
- The Christians of Palestine, who alongside their Muslim neighbors endure occupation, displacement, and destruction of their holy sites. We affirm their right to live and worship freely on their native land.
- The Armenians of Nagorno-Karabakh, displaced from their ancestral homes through war and blockade, facing ethnic cleansing and loss of heritage. We stand with their right to return in safety and dignity.

A Foreign Policy Rooted in Justice, Human Rights, and Diplomacy
America’s true strength comes not from bombs or bullets, but from our moral leadership and commitment to human dignity. Our foreign policy must once again reflect those principles. We will champion diplomacy-first policies, relying on negotiation, peace-building, and humanitarian aid instead of regime change and military occupation.
The Bottom Line: America First Means Peace First
As your representative, I will always put the people of Texas and the people of America first—not foreign governments, not arms manufacturers, and not corrupt lobbyists.
We will fight to:
- End U.S. complicity in genocide and war crimes
- Cut off funding for oppressive regimes
- Stand with the global majority calling for peace and justice
- Hold our leaders accountable for every bomb dropped and every innocent life lost in our name
If elected, I will be the loudest voice in Congress demanding an end to war, a return to diplomacy, and justice for all.
