Today's We the People Central TX Labor Day rally was a success. Thank you to everyone who came out to protect our rights.

This evening I attended the Guadalupe Democrat banquet where I met with multiple voters, shook hands with Ron Nirenberg, and enjoyed a speech by Gene Wu. Jobs, Inflation, and Democracy were the topics of the evening. Keep up the good fight, everyone. We're going to beat this.
