After nearly 15 consecutive years of public service to my county, region, and state, I have decided to not seek re-election to the Texas House. Serving the communities throughout District 17 has truly been a privilege and something I will always cherish. I am immensely proud of the work we have accomplished and believe the time is right to embark on new opportunities. During my four terms as a state representative, I saw the very best in people who came together and realized that bonds of community are stronger and matter more than ideology or political party.
