My statement on the federal court’s ruling on Texas’s redrawn Congressional map:
We celebrate today, but we’re prepared to keep fighting if the Supreme Court doesn’t uphold it. Voters, not politicians, should choose their representatives.

Last week I spoke with local news about Texas redistricting and what it means for District 35. Republicans may have drawn the map, but we’re drawing the line in the sand. Texans! Not politicians should decide who represents them.

On this Veterans Day, I am thinking about every Marine, soldier, sailor, airman, and guardian I have served with. Our bond never breaks.
To every veteran: I will fight for you the same way we fought for each other.
My mission now is to serve you.

During a shutdown, troops worry if their families can pay rent or buy groceries. Their paychecks are not guaranteed.
My first bill will be the SALUTE Act, guaranteeing full pay for active duty, Guard, and Reserve during any shutdown. If troops do not get paid, Congress should not get paid either.

Honored to celebrate 250 years of the United States Marine Corps and every Marine who has worn the uniform with pride and purpose.
“Old breed? New breed? There’s not a bit of difference so long as it’s the Marine breed.”
Semper Fi.

Yesterday we wrapped up the day at the VFW Post 76 Veterans Day Festival in Universal City. Grateful for the conversations with veterans and families from Guadalupe County.
Connecting with people who care deeply about their communities is what keeps me motivated to fight for Texas 35.

Visited the Veterans Day celebration at Hemisfair Park and had meaningful conversations with several nonprofits. Many veterans shared concerns about the future and the economy. Listening to them is how we truly honor their service, and I am committed to carrying their voices forward.

Started the day at a food drive with VFW Post 8397 on the Southside. Proud to be a member of this post and grateful for the veterans who stepped up to help families in our community.
No veteran or family should face that. Post 8397 showed what real leadership and service look like.
