Good morning, everyone. The voters have made their decision and will be electing a new representative for House District 26. It was a long, hard race, one that began before I even knew it, as it began while I was still away from home for military service. Thank you to everyone
We did it! Thank you to everyone who voted for me to be your next State Representative! I am honored that you placed your trust in me and I look forward to serving you all in Austin. Thank you also to Fanny, Jacob, Calob, our family and volunteers for all your hard work
Republicans should stand against cancelling Chinese Students on college campuses. To do otherwise is an attempt to score cheap political points by targeting Chinese people, but real leaders know there is a huge distinction between Chinese individuals and the Chinese Government.
It doesn’t surprise me that a socialist Democrat who doesn’t show up to work thinks the position that Communist Chinese citizens should not access taxpayer funded state institutions is racist. Texas Republicans agree with me on this.

From the beaches of Hawaii to the big blue skies of Texas, 18 years of marriage has been a beautiful adventure. As two kids meeting in Hawaii and hanging out on the beach, we never would have pictured us today. Happy 18th anniversary, Fanny! The day our marriage becomes an adult.

This Easter weekend, Fanny and I had the opportunity to baptize our younger son, Calob. He recently accepted Jesus as his Lord and Savior. There is no greater joy or accomplishment than to watch our children obtain and grow in their faith and personal relationship with Christ.
Worth watching: this is what patriotism looks like. America is the melting pot of the world and our diversity makes us stronger. We unite behind the ideas of freedom and liberty protected in our Constitution. We are Americans and it's beyond time to end discrimination.
