The last few years exposed a hard truth. Our supply chains for medicine, microchips, and essential materials were stretched across the world and could snap without warning. A great nation should never be dependent on foreign adversaries for critical goods. It is time to bring production home and to rebuild pride in American manufacturing.
I will support tax and regulatory policies that reward companies for moving factories to the United States and that discourage firms from offshoring while seeking federal favors. Public purchasing should prefer American made products so taxpayer dollars create American jobs. Intellectual property must be protected so innovators can build without fear of theft.
Workforce is the key. Trade schools and community colleges should expand programs in machining, welding, robotics, and chip fabrication. Apprenticeships should connect students and mid career workers to employers who pay well and who invest in their teams. When we treat skilled trades with the same respect as four year degrees we lift entire communities.
Shorter supply chains also mean higher quality and greater resilience. When a crisis strikes, a country that makes what it needs can endure and recover. A label that reads Made in the USA is more than marketing. It is a statement of independence. Texas can lead this comeback and the Twenty First District can be the model for the country.
Strategic reserves of key materials should be paired with domestic sourcing so emergencies do not stall critical industries.
Export promotion for small manufacturers can help Texas firms reach new markets while keeping production at home.
Fair trade means enforcing rules against dumping and intellectual property theft so American workers compete on level ground.
