5.7M Americans are living with Alzheimer’s and it’s becoming more prevalent by the day. This neurodegenerative disease touches all of us and we must do more to preserve our loved ones quality of life. I’m proud to support Alz Association, Houston & Southeast Texas Chapter and this cause. #txlege fortbendstar.com/thousands-walk…

Excited to be back w/ the #txlege Higher Ed Cmte this morning to lay out HB826 w/Garnet Coleman which would create a med school University of Houston. Texas ranks 47 out of 50 in primary care physician to population ratio. This med school would focus on underserved urban and rural communities.

The #txlege 86th session was full of wins for TX and SB2 is at the top of the list. Property tax reform was what the hardworking taxpayers in District 28 sent me to accomplish and I’m proud to have been a part of it w/ Dennis Bonnen Dustin Burrows and my House/Senate colleagues.

After serving w/Dennis Bonnen I can attest to the type of leader he is & believe he’s a man of sincerity. His record of fighting for his constituents and the members of the #txlege House speaks for itself & I believe TX is better for it. A united House is capable of greatness.
