Expand all | Collapse all

Paul Chabot is an Iraq war veteran who began his military intelligence career in 2001. Paul first served at the Office of Naval Intelligence and later with the Defense Intelligence Agency, in conjunction with an assignment in the Pentagon working for the Joint Chiefs of Staff in the National Military Command Center assessing immediate national security threats. In 2008, Paul returned from Iraq where he served as an intelligence officer with Joint Special Operations Forces. He is now ranked as a Commander, a senior military officer, and holds top secret/SCI clearance currently stationed in Fort Worth, Texas.

Paul has over 21 years of law enforcement experience and retired in 2016 as a Reserve Deputy Sheriff for the San Bernardino County Sheriff’s Department. There Paul had specialized assignments to the narcotics and street gangs division. Paul also served as a peace officer at the University of Southern California where he received the Meritorious Serve Medal. Later, Paul served three terms as a State Parole Commissioner working inside some of America’s most dangerous prisons ensuring violent criminals remained behind bars.

Paul is a licensed realtor and is the President and CEO of three real estate companies: Conservative Move (ConservativeMove.com), a nationwide real-estate firm operating in 40 states, Law Enforcement Move (LawEnforcementMove.com) that operates in six states, and Military Vet Move (MiliaryVetMove.com) which operates in 12 states and growing.

I am a father with our young children. In Texas, drug overdoses are up 30% just from last year. Overall youth drug use is rising too.

Paul was selected for the nation’s prestigious Presidential Management Fellowship Program working for the White House Office of National Drug Control Policy and promoted to White House Senior Advisor for Law Enforcement, Justice and Drug Control Programs. During his nearly 6-years in the White House, he completed two rotational assignments: one with the U.S. Attorney’s Office targeting methamphetamine production and one with the U.S. State Department Office of the Inspector General, assessing counterterrorism and counternarcotics programs. Prior to this, Paul was an intern for the late Congressman Jerry Lewis.

Paul Chabot founded several organizations dedicated to his passions to promote youth mentorship and the deterrence of substance abuse: Coalition for a Drug Free Texas (CoalitionDrugFreeTexas.org) and Coalition for McKinney Drug Free Youth (DrugFreeMcKinney.org).

Moving to Texas has been a blessing and one Chabot fights to defend every day. He founded the Keep Texas Red Super PAC (KeepTexasRedPAC.com) and McKinney Conservatives. In 2018, he was a delegate to the Texas GOP Convention. In 2020, he was appointed and then elected to the State GOP Convention Platform Committee. As a regular guest on TV and talk radio Chabot promotes the blessings of Texas, constantly warning that complacency can tear it down.
I remember the space shuttle Challenger disaster. I was in the 5th or 6th grade and remember learning of it on the playground. I was so sad.
I was a paperboy at age 10. I held that job until we moved.
At age 12 I went through drug rehab. I now have 35 years sobriety.
Working relationship to better the lives of Texans by securing the border, reducing property taxes and protecting our freedoms.
Less government is always better. The less time "politicians" spend in Austin creating bills, the better Texas will be. Blue states that have full-time legislative bodies have done great harm to their state and people.

2016

The following issues were listed on Chabot's campaign website. For a full list of campaign themes, click here.

  • Terrorism and National Security: As a military intelligence officer, I understand terrorism. Radical Islamic terrorists have declared war on the United States of America. ISIS is now in 30 countries and growing. They attacked my city of San Bernardino in 2015. Our enemies do not fear us and our allies do not trust us. We must rebuild our military, including creating Joint Military Base San Bernardino. We must end the Iran deal.
  • Crime: As a Deputy Sheriff Reserve and former California State Parole Board Commissioner, I know how to protect our communities. Crime is up in every city in this Congressional District and that is largely due to progressive laws like AB109, Prop 47 and Prop 36. I pledge to fight to repeal these laws.
  • Jobs and the Economy: As a small business owner, I know the struggles many other owners face keeping their businesses afloat. A strong economy is the foundation for a prosperous nation. The United States has the most productive workers in the world, yet our economy remains stagnant. We must increase good-paying jobs by supporting smart principles that help businesses succeed, grow and hire. We must reduce burdensome government regulations and taxes that harm hiring.
  • Children: Children need safer streets, effective education, positive role models, and hope that one day they can succeed as adults. I pledge to help turn the tide so that the America of tomorrow is one of tremendous opportunity for all.
  • Education: The cost of college is out of control and student loan debt is harming today's young adults. I would like see high school credits replace 4-year college G.E. requirements, allowing students to pursue their career field degree in 2-years rather than 4. I support school vouchers, charter schools, home-schooling, private school, parent (school) choice in addition to public schools, should parents decide that's where to send their children.
