In a state facing gerrymandering schemes, Medicaid cuts, and storm preparedness rollbacks, who’s actually willing to step up and fight for Texas’s 25th District?
In this episode, we sit down with William Marks — decorated combat veteran, six-time Navy communications award winner, and founder of Operation Caged Bird — to talk about why he’s running for Congress and what he’s fighting to protect.
After a 22-year Navy career and six years at Meta awarding $10 million in grants to schools, small businesses, and nonprofits, Marks moved with his family to Arlington, Texas. He’s led crisis communications for the Navy during hostage situations, natural disasters, and the MH370 search — and now he’s bringing that same battle-tested leadership to take on a Republican agenda gutting healthcare, women’s rights, and affordable living.
We go deep on what a member of Congress can actually do to defend their district, and how TX-25 has been hit by Medicaid cuts, immigration rollbacks, and tariffs under Trump’s second term. Marks weighs in on the Texas Democrats who broke quorum to stop GOP gerrymandering, how to protect Texans from hurricanes and flash floods despite cuts to NOAA and the National Weather Service, and his top three priorities for day one in office.
This isn’t just about one campaign — it’s about fighting for a future where working families, seniors, and young people in Texas aren’t left behind. Whether you live in Texas or just want to see what real leadership looks like in a district Republicans have taken for granted, this conversation delivers clarity, grit, and a plan.
