As a member of the Creekside Community Church in Katy, TX, I am a strong Christian. I believe in the story of the Bible and I am a follower of Jesus Christ. I believe that all life is precious and it is our duty to protect it. For that reason, I will always support legislation that protects the unborn. A strong moral compass makes a good leader and I pride myself on being strong in my convictions and my faith.
