Come and Read It Report
Dear Texans,
This weekend, America lost a great servant and I lost a great friend. George H.W. Bush epitomized everything wonderful about America and, like his country, he was tough, strong and kind. He changed the nation and he changed the world.
Those who knew President Bush knew that his love for his country was only surpassed by his love for his family. This is a great loss for America, but I am comforted knowing that he has been reunited with his beloved, Barbara Bush, and is now with the Lord. My family and I will continue praying for the entire Bush family during this difficult time.
The Economy
Thanks to President Trump's pro-growth and pro-American agenda, the economy is booming:
- Consumer spending was up at a strong 0.6 percent in October - the fastest pace in seven years!
- Incomes rose by the largest amount in nine months
- Our economy grew at an unrevised 3.5 percent in the third quarter.
Legislative Update
This week: While we are back in Washington this week, we will operate differently than previously scheduled. Former President George H.W. Bush will lie in state in the United States Capitol Rotunda beginning today through Wednesday morning so that Americans are able to pay their respects.
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.
In God we trust,
