Highlighting his time serving as a volunteer minister, Enriquez says he would "restore God to public life" through legislation. Enriquez says he would provide tax credits to parents and lower the cost of housing to support American families.

Sell is the founder of a law firm. He previously worked in the office of former U.S. Rep. Larry Combest (R-Texas) and served as the deputy staff director for the U.S. House Committee on Agriculture. Sell is campaigning on his political and legal experience, saying he has "champion[ed] the interests of West Texas producers, families, and communities." Sell says he would support the agriculture industry and that he "played a key role in advancing major legislation that strengthened America's farmers, ranchers, and rural communities." Sell says he would support Trump's agenda and "[stand] for America First policies that protect our values, strengthen our economy, and secure our future."

Also running in the primary are Christopher Adams (R), James Barbee (R), Donald May (R), Matthew Smith (R), and Ryan Zink (R).
