Let’s Talk
This week, my campaign sent letters to several community groups and neighborhood associations, suggesting they consider hosting a candidate forum for the state representative race in the new, Democratic open seat in Arlington and Grand Prairie.
With so many difficult issues facing our state, voters deserve to hear directly from the candidates and ask us the tough questions. I look forward to answering those questions, and I am sure the other candidates do, as well.

Honoring the dream
The last few days have been uplifting and inspiring as Lisa and I have joined with so many other members of our community to celebrate the life and legacy of Dr. Martin Luther King, Jr.
It’s important that we keep the memory of Dr. King’s enduring life, actions and words alive. It is what this holiday is all about, and why we commemorate it with such enthusiasm year after year. It’s a time for us to celebrate and rededicate ourselves to the dream that Dr. King had for our nation – a dream of equal opportunity, equal access to education, and a commitment to fight for that which is right.
