In Their Words
What they have said, on the record
“That's why I'm motivated, to make sure you have a representative that's going to work with your local leaders and deliver real results for this district.”
“We came to work and that doesn't stop now,”
“We cannot compete and have jobs if we do not have a port that is commercially competitive. It's embarrassing. We're the largest port in the country.”
“Infrastructure is a core function of government. You cannot go and build a bridge as a private citizen. You're not going to dredge the port. That is the infrastructure backbone, what we are owed for paying taxes to the government,”
“In Harris County, we had, after the Beto wave, the most progressive form of government in the entire country. So, I raised my hand to run against [Harris County Judge] Lina Hidalgo, because, quite simply, government was everywhere I didn't want it to be.”
