Building a Stronger America
Dear Friend,

Over the past several months we’ve been working hard to help meet the needs of those across our community who have suffered damage from Hurricane Harvey.

Our staff has been able to assist thousands of constituents across our nine counties through individual casework, mobile office hours, town halls (pictured below) and correspondence. If we can help you, please give us a call at 409-883-8075 (Orange), 832-780-0966 (Deer Park), 844-303-8934 (Woodville) or 202-225-1555 (Washington, DC).



While we’ve been focused on hurricane recovery here in Southeast Texas, there has also been much that has been happening in Washington over the past year.

I’ve been very pleased to help advance President Trump’s conservative agenda in Washington. From rolling back Washington’s tax bite and ending excessive regulations to appointing conservative judges and securing our borders, I’d like to share with you some of these very important steps that we’ve taken.

Please take a few minutes to look over this email and take the survey to let me know how you feel about some of the important issues in Congress.

Sincerely,
Brian
