I have the experience of leading in difficult situations and accomplishing the mission.

I served 22 years in US Military, and I’ve experienced the impacts of the failure of politics and the decline of our nation’s standing in the world.  And unlike some, I believe that America has a bright future ahead of it, if the right leaders are elected.  I’ve worked, with lawmakers and policy experts to pass legislation that protects our veterans, enhances our military, and supports our Gold Star Families.

I know how the system works and I can pass legislation that works for all Americans.  I have experienced the hardship of living on a centralized government healthcare system. I have the experience of navigating the complexities of our immigration system when my wife Veronica became a naturalized citizen.

I have the experience of serving and fighting in warzones and areas of conflict with no plan for victory from our political leaders. Growing up near the Rio Grande Valley, I’ve experienced first-hand the effects of poor immigrations policy.

As your Senator, I will draw from all these experiences to shape policy and build a government that works for all Americans.
