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 don't get it. You say, "I am glad that we are avoiding another government shutdown, but in the meantime, I cannot support a bill..." So your NO vote, if it had been in the majority, would have indeed led to the government shutdown. I appreciate the YES votes that actually kept our government open and kept federal employees on the job and getting paid. I would definitely have voted YES.
I learned a lot today at the 99th Anniversary Celebration of the Tarrant County League of Women Voters. Dr. Dawn Youngblood, Tarrant County Archivist, gave a fascinating presentation from the scrapbooks from "back in the day." Did you know that not even one woman was present when President Woodrow Wilson signed the 19th Amendment?
Several women present today have been LWV members for 50+ years!
Today was a great day for women! Congressman Marc Veasey hosted "Advancing Women Today," with a panel of outstanding women who are doing great things to meet women where they are and help them to achieve their dreams.
Then I attended the IGNITE National conference "Young Women Run North Texas." It showed me that the slogan "The Future is Female" is so true! Lunch was a packed house, with 36 tables, each with a woman elected official or candidate to speak with the young women. Awesome!
Two things jump out at me from this AOC post...first, that like her campaign, mine was funded by small individual donors, with no money from PACs. I hope you'll help me again for 2020! And second, Rep. Kenny Marchant is now in his third term as a member of the Ethics Committee. That's the group that should be keeping this stuff from happening.

There 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 …
