Nidal Hasan caused immeasurable wounds to our community. The victims, survivors, their families and our community deserve to see justice finally served.

RT @SeanParnellASW: Secretary of War Pete Hegseth has recommended — and President Donald J. Trump has approved — death by U.S. Army firing…

Our hearts are with the family, friends, and fellow Soldiers of the Soldier who tragically lost their life during a training incident at Fort Hood. We lift them up in prayer and ask for comfort, strength, and peace during this incredibly difficult time. We also pray for the healing and recovery of the injured Soldier and for all those affected by this tragedy.

Twenty-five years later, we remember the lives forever changed by the attacks on our nation. We honor and mourn those we lost, remember the families affected, and pay tribute to the courage and sacrifice of the first responders who answered the call. We will never forget. https://t.co/6G2vGa1oAP

Congratulations to Williamson County Precinct 2 Constable Jeff Anderson and his Command Staff for completing the FBI-Law Enforcement Executive Development Association program. The FBI-LEEDA program expands law enforcement leadership through training, education and networking and their completion speaks to the deep commitment these officers have to WilCo’s public safety. We are blessed to have such dedicated officers protecting our communities in TX-31!

I'm aware of reports that a military helicopter has gone down in Salado Texas's 31st district. While we wait for additional information, our prayers are with any occupants on board. My team and I will continue to monitor.

Texas has lost a trailblazer. I’m deeply saddened to hear of the passing of one of my dearest friends, Kay Granger. For decades, she led with grace and a deep love of Texas. Kay was someone whose counsel I valued and character I admired. While we all mourn her passing, I hope everyone also celebrates her remarkable service. Texas is a better place because of Kay’s leadership.

City of Belton employee Ethan Van de Plas was working near Nolan Creek when a woman jumped into the high water. The situation quickly became dangerous, but Ethan sprang into action. He jumped into the rain-swollen creek and pulled her to safety. I recently honored Ethan for his selfless service with a congressional certificate of recognition and an American flag flown over the US Capitol in his honor. Ethan plans to join the military soon, and I have no doubt he has the bravery and selflessness to succeed. Well done, Ethan!
