EXCLUSIVE: Trump-Endorsed Conservative Brandon Herrera Breaks Down His Run For Texas’ 23rd District: Slash Foreign Aid, Backs Term Limits, Epstein Files Fumble, Expose Congressional Misconduct Settlements, Codify Trump Border Policies, Cut Rampant Government Spending and More @TheAKGuy
This week on Straight to the Point, I sat down with the Republican nominee for Texas’ 23rd Congressional District, Brandon Herrera. Herrera, a successful entrepreneur, recently secured President Trump’s endorsement after incumbent Rep. Tony Gonzales dropped his re-election bid amid scandal.
Our wide-ranging interview discusses his business background and why he entered politics, what he says is the urgent need to codify Trump-era border policies into permanent law, accountability for congressional sexual misconduct settlements paid with taxpayer dollars, defeat inflation through spending restraint and single-subject bills, term limits for members of Congress, veterans’ healthcare access in rural areas, Epstein transparency, free speech and Big Tech censorship, his commitment to an America First agenda and more.

Today, on my final day as Director of National Intelligence, I’m releasing never-before-seen communications and documents exposing how Dr. Fauci provided millions in US taxpayer dollars to fund dangerous gain-of-function research at the Wuhan lab, worked with politicized elements within the Intelligence Community to suppress the truth about his actions and hide the virus’ lab-leak origins, and lied to Congress while under oath in 2024. It’s time you know the truth.

I've been asking (RNC) @ChairmanGruters to help fund her campaign
(RP) so he sees this... 👍
