Honey bees at my farm enjoying a snack

It’s National Honey Bee Day! As a beekeeper, I know how important it is that we protect our environment to save the bees from big polluters. That’s why I'm fighting for a cleaner environment -- clean air to breathe, clean water to drink, and clean soil to grow food.

In Congress, I will protect our environment, fight for policies to end global climate change, and preserve the natural beauty of Texas.

But it takes a whole colony to make the honey, and I need 550 grassroots activists to join me today. Add your name to show that you stand for saving the bees and protecting our environment.

It is up to us to protect our environment so that we can continue to enjoy everything nature has to offer -- including beekeeping! It will take all of us standing up and demanding that we safeguard all the beauty that Texas has to offer for generations to come.

Have a bee-utiful weekend,
