If Ox Nordberg is elected on November 3, 2026, it would be historic because:

  • ✅ First Independent in TX‑30’s history

  • ✅ Rare modern Independent House victory

  • ✅ Unprecedented win in a deeply one‑party district

  • ✅ Demonstrates a non‑party path grounded in service and trust

  • ✅ How he ran – not just that he won


Not symbolic history.

ITEMS A FRESHMAN CONGRESSMAN CAN DO WITHOUT CONGRESSIONAL PERMISSION

  • District casework tracking

  • Federal benefit denial pattern analysis

  • Oversight letters to agencies

  • District‑level federal program coordination meetings

  • Transparency reports

  • Grant support letters

  • Public accountability briefings

  • Field hearings (with allies)

In modern times, Texas has not elected an Independent to any branch of state government—executive, legislative, or judicial.

A Voice for Texas’ 30th District
Built on Accountability, Wholeness, and Service

Jesus Christ is the center of my world. My faith teaches me to love people I disagree with, to respect their conscience, and to refuse coercion—even in service of truth I believe deeply. As a representative, I will:

I understand something many campaigns do not say out loud.
A freshman member of Congress does not walk into Washington and immediately pass major legislation. Building the relationships and experience required to move bills through Congress takes time.
Because of that reality, my first priority will be serving the people of District 30 directly.
One of the most practical ways to do that is by making sure our communities receive the federal resources already available to them.
Across the country, billions of dollars in federal programs go unused every year simply because local governments, schools, and community organizations do not have the time or staff to navigate the application process.
My office will actively work with cities, schools, nonprofits, and law enforcement agencies throughout District 30 to identify these opportunities and bring those resources home.

My first 2 years in office I will focus on district 30 needs and concerns. There are currently 10 Federal Agencies that offer grants every year and I want to make it a priority to make sure that we apply for every grant affordable to this district.

Because District 30 deserves results — not slogans or soundbites.

Why I’m Running for Congress

On religious liberty: I will protect conscience rights broadly and equally. I won't use government to advance or suppress any faith. Religious organizations deserve respect and autonomy.

On public funding: If government funds an institution, that funding comes with accountability—including non-discrimination on protected characteristics. Faith-based providers can maintain their doctrine; they can't use federal dollars to exclude people based on the provider's beliefs.

On education: I will fund educational choice without discrimination by religion. That means federal dollars support Christian, Islamic, Hindu, Buddhist, and secular schools equally. I believe this is both fair and biblical.

On my votes: I represent TX-30. I will learn what my constituents want and vote accordingly unless I have a serious conscience objection. When I disagree with my district, I will explain publicly and accept consequences. I won't hide disagreement behind procedure or party pressure.

On governance: I judge policy by outcomes. Does it solve the problem without excluding people, causing predictable harm, or being selectively enforced? If yes, I support it—regardless of ideology. I will not vote to expand poverty, strip opportunity, or weaponize government against political opponents. Everything else is negotiable."

My office will staff a federal resources coordinator (funded through standard congressional office budget) whose sole responsibility is identifying, applying for, and tracking federal grants available to TX-30 municipalities, schools, and nonprofits. I will publish quarterly results.

Because TX-30 needs someone who can work with both parties on specific problems without ideological preconditions. On grant navigation, school funding, and rural health access, Democrats and Republicans both have solutions. I'll use whoever's works
