Last 90 days I put family first.
In that time, two Texas House offices asked me to be their Legislative Director. I am honored, truly, but declined.
Austin owns November through June — hearings on band night, drafts on holidays, and time off the back end of life. I already gave the Army that calendar.
The hardest thing to do is uphold a priority. That is why it is a priority.
I am not running to be a celebrity. I am staying home to represent about 200 families for real — classrooms, taxes, local control — and to have them pay that forward.
Access is useful. Presence is the point.
