Last week I experienced an exceptional honor.

I joined the Republican Women of Brazos Valley in congratulating the new citizens of our great nation.

The faces of our new American family were proud and bright.

Opportunity awaits the patient and diligent folks I met.

In the bags we handed out, there are pocket Constitutions and information on the ideas that allow Americans to seize opportunity.

Let us keep more of what we work hard for through low taxes.

Let us defend ourselves from people who try to do us harm, and empower ourselves through the 2nd Amendment.

Let the free-market drive down the cost of bread and insulin, through rooting out cronyism and over-regulation.

We have to explain "why".

We must stand for our beliefs, and be able to share our reason for believing.

Honestly... God bless America!

America only exists through us, the citizens.

Burleson County is a special place in our congressional district.

This is my second time to visit them during my campaign for Congress, and the Burleson Area Republican Women were kind enough to have me speak.

Burleson has pride in their community’s service.

They expect thoughtful leadership from their elected officials.

Just hitting talking points isn’t enough.

They want competent and honorable leadership from the ground up.

That’s a legacy that I hope to carry on for our district.

We got this!
