🛡️ Security, Not Corruption: Fixing Our Border & Immigration System

Texas District 9 deserves a secure border and an immigration system that reflects our values – not one riddled with political corruption and cruelty.

The Current Problem: Republicans claim to prioritize border security, yet they rubber-stamp no-bid contracts that enrich their cronies and waste YOUR taxpayer dollars. This isn't about security; it's about profiteering and a broken process that undermines public trust. Their approach also leads to inhumane actions, such as sending masked agents into kindergartens and treating all undocumented individuals as hardened criminals, regardless of their contributions to our community. This violates the fundamental "Kindness Doctrine" and the values we hold dear.

Peter Filler's Solution: Secure, Smart, and Accountable.

End Corruption at the Border: Peter Filler will demand accountability and transparency in border contracts. We need to investigate and end the practice of no-bid contracts that funnel millions to political insiders instead of genuinely securing our nation. Our security budget must be used efficiently and ethically.

Targeted Enforcement, Not Mass Deportations: We must focus our resources on deporting hardened criminals who pose a true threat to our communities. However, we cannot demonize or indiscriminately arrest otherwise law-abiding undocumented immigrants who work hard, pay taxes, and contribute significantly to our economy and culture. They are part of the fabric of our district.

Protect Our Communities, Not Terrorize Them: Peter Filler believes in treating everyone with dignity. We must end the practice of federal agents acting with excessive force or intimidating vulnerable communities, especially in places like schools. Our law enforcement should protect, not terrorize.

Peter Filler believes we can have a secure border without sacrificing our values or lining the pockets of the politically connected. It's time for a system that is effective, humane, and fiscally responsible.

💡 Powering the Energy Corridor: Jobs, Innovation, and Permitting

The Energy Corridor is the engine of District 9's economy, driving innovation and creating high-paying jobs. We need a representative who will champion its growth, not let it stagnate.

The Current Problem: While politicians talk about energy, real investment and proactive support for the Energy Corridor have lagged. Republicans often offer broad, untargeted policies that create as many bureaucratic roadblocks as they remove, slowing down project development and increasing costs. This lack of strategic focus prevents our district's energy sector from fully competing, innovating, and securing the jobs of tomorrow. We need action, not just rhetoric.

Peter Filler's Solution: Strategic Investment, Streamlined Processes, and Leadership.

Federal Investment for Growth: Peter Filler will advocate for targeted federal investments in the Energy Corridor to foster innovation, attract new businesses, and ensure our energy sector remains a global leader. This means supporting research, development, and infrastructure that builds for the future.

Streamlined Permitting for Efficiency: As a member of the crucial Energy and Commerce Committee, Peter Filler will work tirelessly to streamline the permitting process. We can cut unnecessary red tape and accelerate essential projects without compromising environmental standards, bringing down costs and speeding up job creation.

Creating High-Paying Jobs: Peter Filler understands that a thriving Energy Corridor means more opportunities for our residents. By promoting innovation and efficiency, we will secure existing jobs and cultivate new ones in traditional and emerging energy sectors.

Peter Filler will be a strong voice on the Energy and Commerce Committee, ensuring that District 9's Energy Corridor has the resources, policies, and support it needs to thrive and create good-paying jobs for our community.

⚖️ Restoring Integrity: Compassion vs. Hypocrisy

Our nation is at a crossroads. We need leaders who embody genuine compassion and integrity, not those who twist faith for political gain and violate the very principles they claim to uphold.

The Current Problem: A Crisis of Values

Republicans are increasingly guilty of violating the "Kindness Doctrine." They present themselves as righteous, but their actions and policies often contradict the fundamental teachings of compassion and empathy. They are, in essence, "fake Christians" who have corrupted the Bible, selectively quoting scripture while ignoring Jesus's core message to "Love thy neighbor." They weaponize parts of the Old Testament, like Leviticus, to justify division and conflict. Yet, the same scriptures they selectively quote would condemn their own leaders.

Peter Filler's Solution: Leadership with Empathy and Principle.

Upholding the Kindness Doctrine: Peter Filler stands for genuine compassion and respect for all individuals. He believes in leadership that seeks to unite, not divide, and that reflects the true spirit of kindness and understanding in our communities.

Authentic Values, Not Political Grandstanding: Peter Filler's values are rooted in sincerity and empathy. He believes in a government that serves all people with integrity, guided by principles of love, fairness, and justice, rather than using faith as a political weapon.

Accountability and Honesty: Peter Filler champions honesty and ethical leadership. He believes that public servants must be held to a high standard, demonstrating transparency and integrity in their actions, and honoring the trust placed in them by the people.

Peter Filler will restore integrity to our representation, fighting for a government that reflects genuine compassion, honest values, and ethical leadership for all of Texas District 9.
