Steve Stockman’s vision for the United States Congress is rooted in faith, freedom, and accountability to the people. He believes government should serve, not control the citizens it represents. His mission is to restore common-sense leadership that protects constitutional rights, defends life, strengthens families, and promotes economic growth through lower taxes and fewer regulations. Guided by integrity and conviction, Steve is committed to ensuring that America remains a nation of opportunity, security, and faith-based values for generations to come.
Protecting Families from Biden’s Inflation
Rising costs are crushing families across South Texas. Reckless spending in Biden's administration and restrictive energy policies have driven inflation to record highs, forcing working people to stretch every dollar further.
The path forward is clear: rein in federal waste, restore American energy independence, and strengthen our local industries: oil, gas, agriculture, and trade. By prioritizing smart, practical policies, we can lower prices and bring opportunities back to South Texas.
Stockman consistently opposed tax hikes and large spending bills, arguing that deregulation and smaller government would naturally reduce household costs. His opposition to the Affordable Care Act reflected his belief that government intervention raises expenses for working families. Stockman has a history of valuing local pragmatism over ideological bickering, providing Texans with relief from the everyday financial burdens they face.
Serving the People, Not the Political Machine
Families in South Texas aren’t worried about partisan squabbles in Washington. They’re concerned about jobs, energy bills, and safety. That’s where our focus should be.
Common-sense politics means returning power to the people. It’s about implementing action, not ideology, to solve problems that matter, rather than protecting the interests of career politicians. Where others bow to party pressure, authentic leadership means standing firm for your community and refusing to forget who you work for.
Stockman has branded himself as a champion of common-sense politics, which for him means cutting government red tape, reducing taxes, and addressing the cost of living. He is a voice for everyday Texans who are frustrated by Washington's bureaucracy and excessive spending. His proposals, such as eliminating unnecessary congressional perks and allowing service members to carry firearms on military bases, reinforce his image as a practical, results-oriented conservative.
A Nation Without Borders Is Not a Nation
South Texas feels the effects of an unsecured border every day: strained schools, overcrowded hospitals, rising crime, and human trafficking. Border security isn’t a partisan issue; it’s a matter of sovereignty and safety.
We believe in legal immigration and enforcement that protects our communities. That means ending catch-and-release, completing critical physical barriers, and giving Border Patrol the resources they need to do their job. A secure border is the foundation of a safe America.
Border security is Steve Stockman’s most consistent and emphatic issue. Representing Texas districts close to the southern border, he accurately sees illegal immigration as a direct threat to American sovereignty, often describing the situation as an “invasion.” Stockman supported expanding border enforcement, closing immigration loopholes, and withholding federal funding from sanctuary jurisdictions.
