Throughout my 30 years in law enforcement, I’ve seen first-hand the human and monetary cost of high recidivism rates and our broken criminal justice system. While Sheriff of Fort Bend County, I created cutting edge recidivism reduction programs like HVAC and welding training programs for non-violent Fort Bend County jail inmates, at no cost to taxpayers. 

These new energy policies by President Biden have such a negative impact in our Congressional District, as well as across the entire State of Texas, and the entire nation. The oil and gas industry employs thousands and thousands of hardworking families in TX-22 and for over a year, they’ve had to deal with this pandemic and we’re seeing the American families struggling each and every day now get sucker-punched again with these new policies from the Biden Administration. I believe we can be both good stewards of our environment while still protecting our Texas energy industry.

 It is the duty of Congress to provide for the common defense of the United States and ensure that America’s uniformed men and women receive the best support possible to carry out their mission to keep us safe. I am committed to ensuring that our armed forces, intelligence services, and federal law enforcement agencies have the resources they need to be efficient, ready, and lethal in this era of unprecedented threat and uncertainty.

As a proud veteran of the United States Army and a Member of the House Committee on Veterans’ Affairs, I know all too well the sacrifices our brave men and women in uniform make to preserve our freedoms. Our veterans go overseas leaving their families and loved ones behind to keep the homeland safe and fight our enemies. They sacrifice life and limb in service to our nation and when they return home, they do not receive the care they deserve.
