US Rep TX-29, Houston Region. Former TX State Senator, Harris County Commissioner, Houston City Controller & Judge. Native Texan. Catholic. 1 of 10 children. Running for re-election in 2026!
Pinned
Due to the Trump-Abbott dismantling of our congressional districts, I am running for re-election in some new neighborhoods.
I am undeterred and will fight for Houstonians as I always have. I will keep taking on Trump, defending our democracy, and lowering costs for families.

The killing of Alex Pretti was horrific and unjust. Indefensible. I join Americans mourning today for a man they never knew who was standing up for his neighbors and the tenets of our country.
