Aggie Values Matter in HD14
In Bryan-College Station, Aggie values are more than a slogan. They mean excellence, integrity, leadership, loyalty, respect, and selfless service.
Voters in Texas House District 14 deserve leadership that reflects those values — honest, accountable, community-minded leadership focused on public schools, academic freedom, fiscal responsibility, and real local priorities.
The Receipts: Paul Dyson’s Record, In His Own Votes
What Paul Dyson Says vs. What Paul Dyson Has Done
Paul Dyson talks about freedom and limited government.
The public record tells a different story.
Voters deserve more than slogans.
They deserve the truth.
The record shows a pattern of insider politics, misplaced priorities, and support for more government control over Texans’ schools, healthcare, and daily lives.
These are not rumors. These are receipts.
A Conflict Voters Should See Clearly
Paul Dyson sponsored and voted for a $1 billion private-school voucher program while serving as Vice-Chair of Allen Academy’s Board of Trustees.
Allen Academy is participating in that same voucher program.
Voters deserve to ask a simple question:
Why was Paul Dyson helping create a taxpayer-funded program that benefits an institution he helped govern?
At the very least, it raises serious questions about judgment, transparency, and whose interests came first.
More Government Control, Not Less
Paul Dyson talks about freedom.
But his record shows support for more government control.
He backed putting the Ten Commandments in public school classrooms.
He supported book bans and political interference in school libraries.
He backed private-school vouchers that weaken public schools.
He supported more political control over higher education, weakening academic freedom.
He supported more government intrusion into women’s healthcare decisions.
He backed a state Bitcoin reserve (cryptocurrency/data centers) instead of focusing on everyday priorities Texans actually face.
He supported an anti-red-flag bill, prohibiting tools intended to help prevent dangerous situations before tragedy happens.
He supported prohibiting the manufacture, sale, and possession of all hemp-derived THC products in Texas.
Academic Freedom at Texas A&M
Texas A&M has helped shape this community, and many of us have built our lives here because of it. That’s why what’s happening on campus matters so much to me.
Aggie values should mean belonging, respect, and the freedom to learn and teach without fear. But today, too many faculty and students are feeling erased instead of welcomed.
This didn’t happen in a vacuum. Dan Patrick, Charles Schwertner, and Paul Dyson have all helped drive the political pressure behind SB 37 and the broader push to tighten control over our public universities. The ACLU lawsuit is only the latest reminder that this fight is real.
Texas A&M should be a place for open inquiry, honest debate, and real belonging — not political pressure, censorship, or ideological control.
For me, this is personal. Texas A&M is part of the fabric of this community, and it should remain a place where people can teach honestly, learn freely, and disagree without fear.
SB 37
SB 37 is part of a broader push to bring more political control into Texas higher education, shifting power away from faculty and academic institutions and toward political appointees and outside pressure. Charles Schwertner sponsored the bill, Dan Patrick has been one of its most powerful backers, and Paul Dyson voted for it. This isn’t an abstract policy fight — it directly threatens the independence of public universities like Texas A&M and the freedom, belonging, and open inquiry that should define them.
The Bottom Line
Campaign slogans are easy
Votes are harder to explain.
When voters look past the messaging, they see a clear pattern: Paul Dyson says one thing and does another.
Bryan, College Station, and Brazos County deserve better.
They deserve honesty.
They deserve transparency.
And they deserve leadership focused on strong public schools, fiscal responsibility, personal freedom, and real local priorities.
The votes are public. The record is real. Texans deserve better.
That is not small government. That is not freedom. That is government control wrapped in campaign slogans.
Aggie values are more than just words on the MSC (Memorial Student Center).
