Texas State Senate District 13 (unopposed)

“The fact that this audit rose to the level of calling for an investigation by the Texas Rangers is deeply disturbing and concerning. I do not remember a time when any public university had SAO initial findings leaked before the University was allowed to respond and final report completed.” (Official legislative website (senate.texas.gov))

“As the state senator that represents TSU, I agree that reforms are necessary, and to its credit, TSU has already begun the process to address the deficiencies, training and internal accountability outlined in the report. But this should not undermine this HBCU’s mission to its student body, their education, welfare, and the long-term health of this historic university.” (Official legislative website (senate.texas.gov))

“Yesterday, my office was informed that Texas Coastal Materials has been given a permit to build a concrete crusher right next to LBJ Hospital. This battle is not over and I will continue to fight the construction and operation of this polluting facility.” (Official legislative website (senate.texas.gov))
