Chairman Jim Jordan in Odessa

I was incredibly honored to welcome Chairman Jim Jordan to Odessa for a Town Hall on Wednesday. We discussed our efforts in Congress to fight government corruption and stand up for the freedom of all Americans. We enjoyed hearing and answering your questions on issues ranging from the border crisis, Big Tech media bias, and Republican efforts to hold corrupt government officials accountable.

Chairman Jordan is one of the most effective champions for freedom and transparency in Congress. It was a privilege to have him in West Texas.

Town Halls in Mertzon and Sterling City

It was great to host Town Halls in Mertzon and Sterling City this week. Thank you to all who attended and asked questions about the state of our country.

In Mertzon, I had the pleasure of presenting a Congressional Certificate to the Irion County High School One Act Play Cast, who have advanced to the Area Contest.

In Sterling City, I presented Congressional Certificates to the Sterling County 4-H Champion Wool Judging Team. Texas-11 is home to many sheep and goat raisers, and this team bringing home a championship continues our legacy with this great industry.

Thank you to all who attended, it is an honor of a lifetime to represent you in Congress.

Bipartisan Congressional Delegation on Counterterrorism

As the Chair of the House Homeland Security Subcommittee on Counterterrorism, Law Enforcement, and Intelligence, I have dedicated our efforts to uncovering and combating terrorism and transnational organized criminal networks from every angle. I led a bipartisan Congressional Delegation (CODEL) to the Middle East discussing challenges facing our nations, including countering terrorism. 

Our CODEL provided insights into the challenges we face in countering terrorism threats, reaffirming the importance of our ongoing efforts in this critical area, and ensuring stability and prosperity in the region with U.S. allies and partners. 

I will continue to lead the charge of collaborating with key partners to counter national security threats and secure the homeland. Read more about our work here.

It was wonderful to have the opportunity to tour Coastal Chemical in Odessa. A division of Brenntag, Coastal Chemical is focused on serving the upstream, midstream, and downstream segments of the energy industry. Thank you to Dough Leigh and Matt Fridley for organizing the tour.

San Angelo ISD Superintendent

I am delighted to welcome Dr. Christopher Moran to San Angelo. Dr. Moran has recently taken on the role of Superintendent for the San Angelo Independent School District. I look forward to working together for the good of our community and students.

Thank you, Military Children

April is the Month of the Military Child.

There are more than 1.6 million military children who prove each day to be resilient, brave, and strong. As a father to 3 military children, I will never be able to express my gratitude for the courage and sacrifices my children have made. Thank you!
