I have always felt a sincere duty to the people of Milam County; this is my home and always will be my home.  We have all been through thick and thin as a community, and although there may be hard times ahead, we can and – together, we will rise above them.  I enjoy facing the challenges that each day brings, and I look forward to the challenges of tomorrow.  For 38 years; service to the people has always been my top priority and that is not going to change.
You can count on my continued commitment to you, the people, and I hope to have your support and your vote at the 2016 Republican Primary. “
