Residents of the 24th Congressional District of Texas deserve another choice. We have had the same Republican representative since 2005. And in all that time, he has never served as the chairman of any committee. District 24 is full of smart, dynamic people with great ideas. We need a representative who will bring those ideas to the table in Washington. If you will elect me to the position, I will do the job, and listen to the people of the district. You can count on attending regular Town Hall meetings when I’m your representative!
Priority 1 of Congress is to support and defend the Constitution of the United States. Somehow, it seems that our representative thinks his top priorities are:
I'm not hearing this on TV, and I think it's important:
When people 50 years from now look back on our time, I think it's important for them to see that the Trump presidency ended in disgrace. If he just loses in 2020, that doesn't look much different from the terms of Jimmy Carter or George H.W. Bush. And those administrations were MUCH different from this one.
Impeachment brings us to a much different ending than simply a president held to one term by a regularly scheduled election.
This seems like a good time for me to re-state my position on abortion. I believe that abortions should be safe, legal, and rare. That requires adequate funding for Planned Parenthood, since they provide the needed education as well as contraceptives. Bottom line...a woman must have free choice over her own body. Women's rights are human rights.
Alabama governor signs near-total abortion ban
The new law is the most restrictive anti-abortion measure passed in the United States since Roe v. Wade was decided in 1973
More District 24 sports kudos!
The Grapevine High School Mustangs girls golf team won their third consecutive 5A girls golf state title!
And Carrollton Ranchview sophomore Bohyun Park won her second consecutive 4A individual state championship!
Great job, girls!
In 2018, the VERY most important thing in the election was for Democrats to take control of the U.S. House. Thankfully for the future of our democracy, we did win that battle. As a result, we can now see real possibilities for holding the Trump administration accountable to the rule of law.
In 2020, it is of course imperative to defeat Donald Trump. Perhaps equally important, though, will be to put Democrats in control of the U.S. Senate. Otherwise, the House will be unable to take meaningful action to right the ship of our nation. Obstruction will continue to rule the day.
For that reason, I am totally committed to ensuring that M.J. Hegar is successful in defeating Senator John Cornyn. In this cycle, there are enough Republican senators facing re-election campaigns to make it an achievable goal to gain a Democratic majority. Let's make sure Texas does its part by flipping the one seat we can control. Please join me in supporting Hegar for Senate!
Is the Green New Deal the answer to all our nation’s problems? No. Can we just cast it aside and dismiss it as liberal drivel? No. Climate change is a very real problem. Every report that comes out points to an ever-shortening time span facing us before we won’t be able to resolve the damage that has been done to …
Continue readingThere is talk lately about whether ICE (Immigration and Customs Enforcement) should be abolished. In my opinion, that debate is a distraction. The various agencies that impact immigration are a veritable alphabet soup. Each agency is responsible for managing policies in specific areas of immigration. Therefore, I believe that it is the policies that should be changed, whether or not …

This is not presented as a comprehensive tax package, but rather as points to be considered in the process. As a CPA, I would love to be at the table for those discussions as the District 24 representative. 1. Income is income. There should …
