Dear Friends,

We are deep into the August district work period and I have been traveling around Texas' 25th Congressional District every week. While I've been working hard here, there have been some significant strides in Washington that I'd like you to be aware of:

Recently, President Trump announced his renewed interest in a complete overhaul of the United States' strategy in South Asia. Our top priority has and always will be our national security, which is achieved through the defeat of radical terrorist organizations, rather than nation-building. As the Representative for Fort Hood, I have witnessed first-hand the affects of war and the toll it has on our brave men and women who sacrifice so much for this country. I am encouraged by the President's announcement and look forward to working with my colleagues to achieve a successful military, economic, and diplomatic strategy.

As some of you may know, I recently released a statement regarding the latest movement to repeal Obamacare. I fully support signing a discharge petition that will remove the bill to repeal Obamacare from Committee and force a floor vote in September. Right now, Republicans have an unparalleled opportunity to make significant changes in Congress and we need to act. After years of promises to the American people, there is no reasonable excuse for delay - we need to get this to the President's desk.

I'd also like to touch on the recent events in Charlottesville, Virginia that were not only unacceptable, but un-American. There is no place in this country for neo-Nazis, white supremacists, or any other hate-group. America is better than this and we do not tolerate hate crimes of any kind. My thoughts and prayers are with the victims and all of those affected.

I have included some articles and releases you may find interesting located on the right side of this newsletter. It is an honor and privilege to represent the people of Texas' 25th Congressional District and as always, please reach out to me with any issues and concerns that are important to you.

Sincerely,
