Summary
Meet Daniel Betts, a husband, father, defense attorney, and conservative Texan who is running to represent the state's 21st Congressional District. With more than 15 years of legal experience, Daniel has built his career defending constitutional rights and pushing back against government overreach, both in and out of the courtroom.
Daniel sits down to share the personal and professional journey that led him into public service — from his early career as a chemist, which shaped his fact-driven approach to policy, to his work as a defense attorney focused on due process and accountability. He explains why issues like border security, public safety, evidence-based mental health treatment, and combating synthetic drugs such as fentanyl and meth are central to his campaign.
In this episode, you will learn:
-
Why Daniel is running for Congress in Texas's 21st District.
-
How his legal background shapes his approach to government accountability.
-
Why family, faith, and community should be foundations for public service.
-
The importance of public safety, border security, and protecting constitutional rights.
From defending individual liberties to strengthening communities across the Texas Hill Country, Daniel outlines a campaign grounded in facts, family, and service — and a vision for keeping Texas strong, free, and prepared for the future.
