As part of this week's manufacturing focus, my office hosted a roundtable with North Texas manufacturing leaders to discuss ways we can connect folks with jobs in this important industry, specifically students and veterans. I look forward to bringing these solutions to light and ensuring our hopeful students and heroic veterans have the tools necessary for a successful career in our community.
Next week, I'll be highlighting the aviation industry, which encompasses DFW Airport – the second largest airport in the country. On Monday, you can visit TX24Works.com/aviation to learn more.

I was honored to be named the American Trucking Associations' Trucking Champion of the Month. Without the resilient men and women in the trucking industry spending weeks on end away from their families, the American economy would crumble. You can read more about my work to support them here.
