The speaker, Brandon Herrera, announced his intention to run for Congress in a video on August 12, 2023. He aims to challenge the Republican incumbent Tony Gonzalez for the district 23 congressional seat in the 2024 Republican primary. Herrera emphasized that this decision is not a joke or satire, but a serious commitment to representing the values of America, such as freedom and self-governance.
Herrera is motivated by two main reasons. First, he loves his country and believes in the values it was founded on. Second, he wants to be an example of positive change by running for office. He believes that primary elections can have a significant impact and encourages citizens to vote in them.
Herrera identifies several issues he plans to address, including gun rights, digital censorship, and border security. He opposes gun control and plans to challenge the Bureau of Alcohol, Tobacco, Firearms and Explosives (ATF) director, Dettelbach, on any attempts to target law-abiding gun owners. He also aims to challenge the Democratic Party's stance on gun control.
Herrera opposes digital censorship and believes that the current legislators are too old or out of touch to effectively address online issues. He also takes a strong stance on First Amendment rights, arguing that a free nation must allow its citizens to freely express their opinions.
In terms of border security, Herrera acknowledges the importance of the issue given the extensive border with Mexico in Texas district 23. He criticizes Gonzalez for voting against Republicans in favor of amnesty.
Herrera is a constitutionalist who believes in limited government. He plans to block measures that would continue to control the federal government and aims to dismantle it at every opportunity.
Herrera encourages supporters to help the campaign in various ways, such as donating, spreading the word about his candidacy, and voting in the primary. He also plans to vlog his campaign journey.
