The 81st Legislature is underway and I have been honored with the distinction of serving on both the Appropriations Committee—deciding how best to use the state's budget—and the Public Education Committee—setting policy to better serve our students and teachers. I invite you to stop by the Capitol and visit with me about issues that are important to you.

From our rich agrarian heritage to the patriotic roots planted by our Ft. Hood soldiers across the world, District 54 is a unique and wonderful place. I am proud to represent you and thank you for your continued support and prayers.

God Bless Texas,
