I proudly defend the Second Amendment. I'm a lifelong gun owner and hunter. Second Amendment rights, in my view, are absolutely necessary if we are to endure as a free people. As state representative, I helped make the Second Amendment stronger than it has ever been in Texas. I co-authored the open-carry bill that Gov. Abbott signed into law in 2015. My legislative efforts have allowed me to earn the endorsements of the NRA and the Texas State Rifle Association.
