Core to America’s national security is a strong national defense. Having served in the military for nearly three decades, I am prepared to play an active role in Congress to help to bolster our national defense.
Texas’ 13th Congressional District plays a vital role in our country’s military preparedness and dominance, thanks to the great work done at Sheppard Air Force Base, Pantex, and Bell Helicopter. I will be a strong partner and advocate for their vital work as we look to keep the growth and modernization of our national defense going.
