Last Friday, I convened my second Coordinated School Safety Meeting at Texas State Technical College. Leaders from across Central Texas joined the discussion, including law enforcement officials, school district superintendents, and County Judges from McLennan, Limestone, Falls, Milam, Freestone, Bosque, and Hill counties.
Ensuring that our students and educators are safe and secure is a responsibility that falls to us all. Strengthening the lines of communication between school administrators and law enforcement is critical, and I remain actively engaged in addressing safety threats with coordinated responses.
Summer Interns
As the summer begins to come to a close, I want to thank our outstanding Summer 2025 cohort of Congressional Interns who have served in my office. These bright young people represent colleges and universities across Texas, including Baylor, SFA, Texas A&M, Texas Tech, and the University of Texas, bringing with them fresh perspectives and an eagerness to serve.
It has been a pleasure having them on our team and helping these students develop in preparedness for whatever the future holds.
Naturalization Ceremony
It was a true honor to speak at last week’s naturalization ceremony in Waco. As these men and women joined the fabric of our great nation, I reminded them that citizenship is a privilege and a responsibility.
I am proud of each of these new American citizens and look forward to seeing their contributions to our communities.
Congressional Veteran Commendation
The deadline to nominate an exceptional veteran in our community to receive a Congressional Veteran Commendation is Aug. 15. This is an opportunity to honor a veteran residing in TX-17 who has not only served our country but continues to make an impact in our community.
