In their own words
What Tijerina's campaign says it would work on.
The priorities Tijerina's own campaign site lists, quoted as written there. They are what the campaign says. Nobody has voted on them.
- “Border Security & Immigration Reform”
- “Supporting Crypto”
- “Pro-Ai, Technology & Innovation”
- “Foreign Policy: America First, Peace Through Strength”
Quoted from tanoforcongress.com, read August 14, 2026. A campaign site changes; this is what it said on that date. Curia quotes these and does not check, rate or rank them.
Record in office
Tijerina has not held this office, so there is no federal voting record, no cosponsorships and no committee service to report.
That absence is not a position for or against anything; it is what a first federal campaign looks like in the public record.
