Ronny Jackson — Republican Candidate for U.S. House in Texas, 2026

Ronny Jackson firmly opposes illegal immigration, stating that it is unsafe and unfair to legal immigrants and all Americans, asserting that the U.S. is a nation of laws. He advocates for securing the border and enforcing existing immigration laws. He introduced a resolution calling for the removal of Kamala Harris as Border Czar, proposing a replacement who prioritizes border security as national security and provides resources to Customs and Border Protection.

“I firmly oppose the radical left’s embrace of illegal immigration. I have great respect for those who immigrate to America the legal and proper way, but we are a nation of laws and it is unsafe and unfair to legal immigrants, and indeed all Americans, to live under open border policies. We must secure our border and better enforce our existing immigration laws.”

Ronny Jackson supports reducing healthcare costs, citing high prices for health insurance, medical care, and drugs as a primary concern. He advocates for eliminating monopolies, promoting billing transparency, and reforming pharmaceutical pricing. Jackson voted 'Yea' on H.R. 6703, the "Lower Health Care Premiums for All Americans Act," and has expressed opposition to unauthorized immigrants having access to healthcare.

“I will work hard to lower healthcare cost. Health insurance, medical care, and the drugs that Americans rely on for their health and well-being are all far too expensive. The cost of healthcare is far outpacing the income for most people in this country. I will work to eliminate the monopolies in healthcare, continue to promote transparency in billing, reform pharmaceutical pricing and bring down the cost of drugs, and protect Americans from the liberal agenda and the socialist healthcare plans of the left.

Ronny Jackson supports the National Defense Authorization Act for Fiscal Year 2026 (HR 3838), emphasizing its role in equipping Special Operations Forces and countering "malign PRC actions." He advocates for a strong national defense to maintain military dominance as a deterrent. Jackson has also voted "Yes" on several bills supporting veterans, such as the "Veterans Accessibility Advisory Committee Act of 2025" and the "Ernest Peltz Accrued Veterans Benefits Act." Furthermore, he praised actions in Venezuela aimed at securing the Western Hemisphere and dismantling drug trafficking.

““President Trump is demonstrating that peace through strength means acting decisively in the best interest of America while making clear this is not a war against the nation of Venezuela, but a commitment to keeping the Western Hemisphere secure for the American people,” Jackson said in a statement. (Rep. Ronny Jackson, The Daily Signal, January 5, 2026)”

Ronny Jackson advocates for making higher education more affordable, while also promoting cost-effective options at junior colleges and trade schools for alternative pathways. He supports reforming the education system by asserting that primary education should be a local and state issue, opposing federal mandates that he believes promote a liberal agenda in local schools.

“I am in favor of reforming our education system. The primary education of our children should be a local and state issue. The federal government should not be able to mandate and promote the liberal agenda of other parts of the country on our schools in the state of Texas and the 13th Congressional District.

“I will defend our right to keep and bear arms. I believe that law abiding citizens of this country should be able to have guns in their homes and carry them in public. I am a member of the NRA and have been a gun owner my entire life. I will work to ensure that no one can take away or limit our ability to defend ourselves or our constitutional right to our guns.”
