I'm proud to take a stand with Governor Greg Abbott against the radical socialists attempting to villainize our brave law enforcement officers. While we must ensure bad actors are weeded out, but #TexasBackstheBlue and so do I. https://t.co/ep2FlPugBO

Human trafficking is modern-day slavery, and its happening right here in Texas. As State Rep., I am working to bring an end to illicit massage parlors, enhance investigative tools for law enforcement, and protect girls and boys from the sick criminals who seek to enslave them. https://t.co/C6NeHAEWek
Thank you to all of the men and women who work tirelessly to keep us safe each and every day. Please join me in thanking our law enforcement for their service to our community! #LawEnforcementAppreciationDay https://t.co/9ebWVTI9p2
As your State Representative, I'm committed to making sure our police have the resources to invest in de-escalation training, body cameras for all officers, and the modern tools they need to diffuse situations before violence occurs.
Texans are one step closer to having the ability carry handguns without a license to carry. After nearly 6 hours HB 1927 passes on the House floor. I’m proud to have supported this bill. https://t.co/iIFzMXM8Ms
Our first responders, especially our police, are under attack from radical politicians. That's why I passed a bill to make it impossible for liberal cities to defund the police. Early voting is open through Friday, February 25: https://t.co/kbqiw4n7Mk https://t.co/Ts1WuKQHHc
Ending the humanitarian crisis of human trafficking, cartel violence, and illegal substances at our border is a top priority. I just voted to pass much-needed additional funds for our border to close gaps and help border patrol crackdown on border crime. https://t.co/Uev6B6pMJj
I am looking forward to hearing the debate today on HB 1927, which would abolish the requirement for citizens to obtain a permit in order to open or conceal carry a handgun. I will proudly be supporting this bill. https://t.co/0tVsKZ2mCu
