This week, Texas Governor Greg Abbott announced that he is endorsing my re-election campaign in 2024! I appreciate the governor for continuing to endorse me year after year for my help pushing ”vital priorities across the finish line for win after win.”

“[Dr. Lynn Stucky was] instrumental in passing and sending critical legislation to my desk, including major border security efforts to continue to build the Texas border wall, combat human smuggling and drug trafficking, and create penalties for illegal entry into Texas; the largest property tax cut in Texas history with $18 billion going back to Texas taxpayers; and parent empowerment laws to give parents more rights in their child’s education and remove inappropriate books from school libraries,” the governor said in his press release announcing the endorsement.

These are just the latest in a long list of victories I have worked with Governor Greg Abbott to deliver for House District 64 and Texas. Since coming to Austin, here are some of the major policy wins I have personally helped secure:
