Republican congressional candidate Michael Wheeler detailed his policy priorities in the premiere episode of 'Vote Like A Texan,' a new YouTube series from The Building Texas Show designed to inform Texas voters. Wheeler, running for Texas Congressional District 21, emphasized looming economic and national security concerns as his primary motivation for seeking office.
Wheeler cited his 25-year background in bond markets and subsequent public service, including a presidential appointment as Senior Advisor at the U.S. Small Business Administration, where he worked on reshoring manufacturing of critical items like PPE and semiconductors. 'There are some major issues facing our country that are coming to a head over the next five to ten years,' Wheeler said. 'Most of these issues are economic and fiscal in nature, and that's my background.'
The candidate highlighted specific local concerns for District 21, which spans Bexar, Kendall, Comal, Kerr, and parts of the Hill Country. These include the potential relocation of Army North and Army South missions from Fort Sam Houston, Hill Country water and energy infrastructure issues, and the effects of federally subsidized renewable energy projects. 'These issues impact daily lives,' Wheeler noted. 'People need someone in Washington who will fight for them—not just on immigration or the national debt, but on the local issues that shape our communities.'
Host Justin McKenzie emphasized the series' goal of increasing civic participation, particularly in primary elections where candidate selection often occurs. 'In many local elections, turnout can be as low as seven percent, yet the decisions made there can determine the direction of a district or a county for years,' McKenzie said. Wheeler shared that during his tenure as Kendall County GOP Chair, grassroots efforts significantly improved voter turnout through volunteer mobilization and education.
The premiere episode featuring Wheeler is available on YouTube at https://www.youtube.com/@VoteLikeATexan. The 'Vote Like A Texan' series represents an educational media initiative aimed at bringing clarity to Texas elections through dialogue with candidates and policy experts, examining ideas and real-world impacts voters should understand before heading to the polls.
