Thank you for visiting my website!
It is my great privilege to be your State Representative. I am proud of District 11—our people, our history and our communities. I work every day to ensure that the voice of East Texas is heard loud and clear in our Capitol.
We have a beautiful corner of Texas —one that I have fought to keep safe, friendly and proud.
My Promise to District 11:
I will continue to fight to secure our borders and protect land owners’ rights.
I will continue to fight to provide our children with a superior education that will give them the skills needed to compete and succeed in an ever-changing economy.
I will continue to fight for our teachers. Teachers should be given a reasonable economic reward for their efforts and we need to provide them with the necessary tools to help make Texas an academic leader in our country.
I will continue to fight to reduce property taxes, create a more equitable revenue strategy and give taxpayers the maximum return on their dollars.
I will continue to fight for our employers to maintain an open economic environment where businesses, large and small, can thrive.
I will continue to fight for state government that is open, honest, and accountable.
I will continue to fight for East Texas !
Thanks again for visiting. Please take a moment to look around and if you have any questions or comments please don’t hesitate to contact me.
