Martin Etwop is a proud Christian conservative, born and raised in Uganda during the height of its civil war and HIV epidemic. Despite these challenging circumstances, Martin's parents instilled in him a deep reliance on God as the source of all things, which has stayed with him throughout his life. After serving as a missionary in East Africa, Martin was asked to come help with church planting in Victorville, CA, in 2006 and has since worked in church planting, education, and the automotive industry and is currently a licensed and practicing attorney, fighting for and with fellow Texans against government overreach and against leftists using lawfare to intimidate Americans from freely exercising their rights.
"As your Congressman, I will use every ounce of energy and ability in my power to defend our foundations and protect the future of our children as Americans."
Martin is engaged in his community in Montgomery County and neighboring Harris County, attending and speaking at school board and county commissioner meetings on issues that affect his community. He also volunteers at his church, Grace Woodlands. Additionally, Martin is a MUD director for his utilities district. Martin supports his local Republican party as a board member of the Montgomery County Pachyderms Club and as a member of the candidates vetting committee of the Montgomery County Republican Party. During election season, he helps the local party at the polling location by passing out voter guides and providing pro-bono legal services to the local party and individuals when election laws are being broken.

Beliefs
I believe that our nation's true strength lies in our people's going back to our roots, which are grounded in biblical principles. We are a nation of faith, a people who believe, which is why our founders referenced and always returned to the very source of our sustenance, the Almighty Himself. Our founders understood that we needed the very author of life as the foundation upon which we are rooted.
I also believe that the education of our children belongs to the parents, not the government. Since the beginning of time, parents have had the authority to train their children. The government, Federal or state, has no place in the education of our children. The only time the government should ever interfere in parental rights is when a parent is abusing their children. This abuse is something that common sense can always tell us what it is, not some overzealous bureaucrat and CPS officials trying to control the children.
I support policies that promote individual liberties, support small businesses, improve opportunities, and promote access to resources that enable personal and professional growth through free enterprise.
I also believe that our nation's sovereignty is only possible when we can control our borders. History has shown that open borders are a recipe for disaster. America, not the cartels, must determine who comes in and who is denied entry into our nation. We must take back control of our borders through any and all means necessary, including building a wall, using hi-tech security, and empowering the border patrol agents with the authority to arrest and deport. Congress must regain its role in safeguarding our borders and stop punting its job to the executive branch. The executive must not be given a choice as to whether they safeguard the borders.
Additionally, a constitutional republic can only thrive when the government gets out of the people's business. We are a nation where the people are the kings, not the folks in DC. The kings (We The People) need to be left to run their lives, and the people's servants in DC only do what the kings ask. Only through individual liberties and personal responsibility will our nation again attain its full potential.
I also believe that we must elect men and women to Congress
who have the backbone to stand for our values and are
willing to stand back and defend their ideals without the fear
of humiliation. For too long, the Democrats have accused
Republicans of being Racists, Intolerant, Bigoted,
Homophobes, Fascists, Misogynists, Christian Nationalists,
etcetera. The left has been very effective at weaponizing
these terms, which they use during every debate.
Unfortunately, most Republicans are too thin-skinned
that at the mention of these words, they shrink into their
skins and hide because they are too afraid to carry
a “label.” It is time for Republicans and Conservatives to
reclaim their voices and stop allowing the left to use these
tactics to silence them. When a narcissist projects their
behavior on you, you do not let them; you call them out
for who they are, a narcissist. It is time for Republicans to
stand up and proudly defend their beliefs without fear of being labeled.
The left's lack of policy successes and moral authority disqualifies them from using these accusations. I am the voice that Texas needs in Congress, a voice that will not be silenced or intimidated by these tactics of the left.
I also believe that elected servants and bureaucrats should take the time to study and learn our nation's founding documents, most especially the Constitution, because this will help clarify to them exactly where their very limited power lies.

Martin and Dena have been married since 2009 and have two girls and two boys they strive to raise as God-honoring, nation-loving, responsible citizens of this great United States of America. Martin received his Bachelor of Sciences in Business Administration-International Business from Liberty University and his JD (law degree) from Texas Southern University Thurgood Marshall School of Law.
He is also a strong advocate for organ donation, having personally donated a kidney 17 years ago to save the life of a stranger." I am proud to have made a difference in someone's life through organ donation, and as a Congressman, I will continue to strive to make a positive impact on the lives of others.
"We can only be a great nation when our elected leaders have the humanity to think beyond just themselves and start making a difference in the lives of other Americans. This means that we must stop insider trading by Congress, end congressional representatives becoming millionaires on the backs of hard-working Americans while our citizens struggle to pay for gas."
