This is a Special Election called by the Governor to fill this seat so that the People of South Texas keep a voice in Congress during this very important time in our history. I am running out of a sense of Civic Duty to our Community, and to provide the People of South Texas a hard working and dedicated public servant to work for the People.
I have worked in Congress before as a Staff Member for the Chief Administrative Officer (CAO) of the House under the Congressional Wounded Warrior Program, a program that gives War Veterans an opportunity to serve as Congressional Staff Members throughout America. I served as the Veterans Field Representative for the 27th Congressional District of Texas based out of Corpus Christi. I served two years from 2013 – 2015.
I am also a retired US Army Captain and Iraq War Veteran. I retired from the US Army Reserve in September 2013. I also have worked as a public servant at UTRGV, Texas A&M University- Corpus Christi, Williamson County, the City of San Benito, and Pflugerville. I have been a public servant for over 30 years, from the military, to city and county governments, at Universities and the Federal Government. I believe I am ready to continue my service as your Congressman until the regular election set for November 2022.
