Additional comment from candidate:

As an elected official it is my responsibility to represent the people of this district and the State of Texas. There may be times where we don't agree 100% on issues, but I genuinely try to find common ground where it can be found. Some issues are simply not negotiable such as my positions as a Pro-Life legislator, 1st and 2nd Amendment issues, and limiting the growth of government. But, I will always be accessible to the constituents I represent even when we discuss issues where we do not agree. It is an honor and a privilege to represent this district, and I would be honored to have your support on November 8th.
