Our FEC deadline is almost here!

Only 24 hours to go!     There’s a little more than 24 hours left until the biggest FEC deadline of the election yet, and as we have seen, the race for TX-07 will be one of the most competitive and most important of 2020: President Trump tweeted his endorsement of our opponent. …

One thing I know for sure:

Tomorrow's deadline matters and you can help.     The FEC quarterly fundraising deadline is tomorrow.  These deadlines aren’t arbitrary.  After the deadline, we will report our fundraising numbers and show the financial strength of this campaign. And that financial strength reall…

Re-electing Lizzie is personal for me

Let me tell you why:     Our efforts to send Lizzie back to Congress to continue her fight for Houstonians are personal for me. In 2017, I used to wake up every morning scared that politicians in Washington would take away my family’s health care.  I wasn’t alone in that fear — t…
