Congressional Veterans Commendation
The 17th Congressional District of Texas is fortunate to have a substantial and involved veteran community. After fulfilling their responsibilities in the armed services, many veterans return home to be pillars of our community, through their continued dedication to service and sacrifice. Their engagement and stewardship exerts a lasting positive influence on friends, family, and loved ones.
In recognition of their invaluable contributions, I am requesting nominations for the Congressional Veterans Commendation (CVC). The CVC is a unique distinction that honors those who have courageously served our nation, during both war and peacetime. This year, I will confer the commendations to the chosen awardees at a special ceremony.
Please note that nominees should have received an honorable discharge from a branch of the United States Armed Forces and must have served either as active-duty personnel or as a reservist called to duty. The deadline for submissions is July 21, 2023. I eagerly anticipate the opportunity to hear about deserving veterans in the 17th District.

Energy independence and responsible employment of domestic resources is critical to Texas and our nation at-large. It’s been said before, but energy security is national security. Domestic energy production is an essential element of our nation’s self-reliance. This 3,800-acre site on the border of Leon and Limestone Counties is capable of supplying over 1.3 million homes with power and is a prime example of the benefits brought by reliable domestic energy sources. Additionally, the power plant is supporting community growth by providing steady employment opportunities.
