As the chairman of the Military Construction and Veterans Affairs subcommittee on Appropriations, I'm proud that the bill released today ensures our heroes have access to quality health care, mental health services, and improved housing. I look forward to moving this bill through the appropriations process with Chairman Cole.
I was honored to receive an award from the National Guard Association of Texas recognizing my commitment to our National Guardsmen and my support for their mission. I’m grateful for the opportunity to stand with the men and women of the Texas National Guard and will continue working to ensure they have the resources and support they deserve as they serve our state and nation.
Great to spend some time today with our friends from the VFW who came to Washington to visit with our office. These men and women served our country with honor, and it’s always a privilege to hear directly from our veterans about the issues that matter most to them and their families.
For far too long, the Iranian regime has pursued nuclear capabilities while exporting violence and supporting terrorist networks that threaten the United States, our allies, and stability around the world. Their actions have endangered American lives and undermined peace in an already volatile region. The President has made clear that the United States will always seek peace, but we will never hesitate to defend our people and our national interests. Iran’s continued hostility and disregard for international norms have brought us to a serious and consequential moment. America must stand firm in protecting our citizens, supporting our allies, and upholding peace through strength. Please keep the men and women of our Armed Forces in your prayers as they carry out this mission, along with the families who support them from home. Their service represents the very best of our nation. May God protect them, and may God continue to bless the United States of America.
Last night, I took my seat in the House Chamber to hear President Trump outline the progress made during his first year back in office and share his priorities for the year ahead. Under President Trump’s leadership, we are restoring economic strength, reasserting American leadership on the world stage, securing our border, and putting American families first. His commitment to the America First agenda is not just rhetoric. It is delivering real results and renewed confidence across our nation. I was proud to stand in support of an agenda that prioritizes our workers, our military, our law enforcement, and our values. There is more work to be done, but the direction is clear and the momentum is strong. I remain committed to partnering with President Trump to advance policies that keep our nation strong, secure, and prosperous for generations to come. I left the chamber grateful for the trust Central Texans have placed in me and more committed than ever to serving faithfully and responsibly, always with future generations in mind.
