Happy Mother's Day!

Dear [salutation],

Happy Mother’s Day to all the incredible moms across Texas’ 36th Congressional District!

Today, we celebrate the women who hold our families together, strengthen our communities, and shape the future of our country through their love, sacrifice, and unwavering support. Your impact reaches far beyond your own home.

The values that make Southeast Texas strong, faith, hard work, compassion, and resilience, are passed down every day by mothers who lead with grace and servant hearts. From cheering on the sidelines, to helping with homework, to praying over their families and making countless quiet sacrifices, moms are truly the backbone of our communities.

Thank you for all you do. We are grateful for your strength, your example, and the love you pour into the next generation. May God bless all the wonderful mothers across TX-36 with a joyful and blessed Mother’s Day.

National Day of Prayer

Our country celebrated the 75^th anniversary of the official National Day of Prayer last week. I couldn’t be prouder to be a part of a nation that believes in the intrinsic value of its people. Every other government system demands a higher power and ruler, except for a democracy. Our system was built on the belief that God is the ultimate authority, creating man and woman in His image, with dignity.

This still rings true today. “We hold these truths to be self-evident that all men are created equal…” is the opening line of the most foundational document of our country. Our founders knew that if this didn’t set the precedent for everything, we would quickly crumble. There are some wild ideas and opinions in our nation today, and a lot of them I don’t agree with, but that doesn’t diminish the value of those who hold them.

Texas Republicans United for Border Security

For four years under the Biden Administration, Texans witnessed an unprecedented crisis unfold at our southern border. Nearly 15 million illegal aliens crossed into our country while deadly fentanyl poured into our communities, cartel activity surged, and violent criminals exploited open-border policies that put politics ahead of public safety.

That is why I joined my colleagues in the Texas GOP Caucus to support H.Res. 50, a resolution affirming the constitutional authority of states to defend themselves when the federal government refuses to do its job.

The resolution reinforces protections already outlined in the Constitution, including Article IV, Section 4, which requires the federal government to protect states from invasion, and Article I, Section 10, which recognizes states’ authority to defend themselves when facing imminent danger.

Texans should never again be left defenseless while Washington fails to secure the border. Our law enforcement officers, Border Patrol agents, ranchers, and border communities carried the burden of this crisis firsthand, and they deserve leaders who will stand with them.

Under President Trump’s leadership, America is finally restoring law and order at the southern border. Illegal crossings have fallen to historic lows, cartels are being aggressively targeted, and border enforcement is once again being taken seriously.

But Texans know we cannot allow another future administration to drag this country back into the chaos and lawlessness we experienced over the last four years. I will always stand with Texas, support our law enforcement officers and Border Patrol agents, and fight to secure the border of the greatest nation on Earth.
