Tattoos. Motorcycle riding. Reformer DA. Vaquero. Father of five and attorney. I know what it’s like to meet a payroll, get the kids to a dance recital on time, and castrate a steer at the ranch.

As District Attorney, I got to see how people worked to undermine faith in our justice system. It was one of the reasons I ran for DA in the first place. An elected official has a duty to uphold their oath, but they also have the opportunity to lead by example. Senators should work for constituents rather than finding ways to trend on social media.
Stop using people as props and fix the problem. Rhetoric around mass deportations hurts any reasonable and bipartisan effort to achieve legislation. This must include a pathway to citizenship for those here and protections for DREAMers and their families. More can be done to protect farm workers and hold individuals accountable for taking advantage of immigrant workers.
We have a moral obligation to protect freedom and promote peace around the world. That does not mean forgetting about problems at home, however. We should champion democracy globally, but do it through diplomacy, international cooperation, and fair economic policies. We can promote a world that respects democratic values while safeguarding our economic interests and national security.
We should be concerned about the global warming of our planet and its impact on water, farming and employment. When we talk about climate, we need to talk about how to protect, expand jobs. Democrats cannot ignore the impact on jobs in Texas when talking about climate change. That’s an opportunity to grow solar and wind power manufacturing jobs and ultimately obtain a net-zero emissions economy.
