Get StartedAs a devoted husband, father and Deacon at his church, Matt will always fight to protect life and our Texas families. As a board member and volunteer at a local pregnancy center, Representitive Shaheen will always be on the front lines in the fight for little pre-born babies. We know that children are much better off in a stable environment with a mom and a dad, and Mr. Shaheen will always work hard to give children in Texas the hope of a better tomorrow and the promise of a safe and secure today.

In light of negativity directed toward law enforcement, we need now more than ever to show them that we recognize the difficult and selfless career they have chosen in service to us all. Matt Shaheen fought to ensure our First Responders have the necessary tools, training, resources, and support they need. Matt also joined the battle this past legislative session to make it easier for Texas firefighters to file for worker's compensation. The good people of Texas will always be grateful for our First Responders, and Representative Shaheen will continue to fight for them and their families. Learn more

Rising premiums and deductibles are resulting from failed government programs like Obamacare, and Matt Shaheen is working hard to reverse this damage. Healthcare is vital to every Texan’s well-being, and it is imperative that each citizen has access to quality healthcare at fair prices. Texas families are paying more for health care while getting less. That is why I’m working with doctors on free market based legislation that will increase access to healthcare, improve patient choice, reduce costs, and give Texans more control of their healthcare.

Matt Shaheen is always fighting to secure our border and fight illegal immigration. He has always supported legislation that helps build the wall and adds more law enforcement along the border. Texas is dedicating billions in state funds to secure our border with personnel, tools, and technology. This is a high priority for Matt especially because the Texas-Mexico border is the largest entryway for human trafficking in our nation. As a father of three, sex trafficking, is something that he feels passionate about fighting. Mr. Shaheen continues to fight sex traffickers, making them ineligable for parole and he is now pursuing the death penalty for sex trafficking of children. Learn more
