Texas is my home, and I’m proud that I grew up in a state that was born of revolution and sacrifice. Texas’s history of rewarding opportunity for taking risks and working hard is what makes this America’s greatest state. I was educated here, met my wife Rebecca at University of Texas School of Law, started my law practice here, raised my family here, and served my community as Mayor of Galveston. Over the past decade I have grown a successful small business and respected mediation practice, resolving thousands of Texas windstorm claims and Defense Contractor personal injury claims arising from the Global War on Terror. It has been an honor to serve my clients and the courts.

Now, I am ready to serve my fellow Texans in a meaningful leadership role at a critical time in Texas history. Our challenges include accommodating population growth, expanding and protecting health care access, addressing deep economic shifts and protecting consumer rights.

I respectfully seek your support because I believe Texans of all backgrounds deserve honest, independent public servants in Texas government. With your help, I’ll lead by example, I’ll work hard and I’ll make you proud. Onward!
