With the rate of growth expected in Texas in the coming years, we must continue to invest in our state's critical infrastructure -- including water resource development and transportation -- to meet the demands of and to serve the Texans of today and the future Texans of tomorrow. Transportation and natural resource infrastructure are core functions of government that must be addressed head-on with bold, fiscally conservative solutions. On this front, I have been proud to Co-Author legislation addressing our state's long term water needs by formulating a sustainable plan to provide the vital capital needed to fund the Texas State Water Plan. I was also proud to actively support substantial funding measures for public, non-tolled roadways across Texas to ensure that people and products can move across the state safely and efficiently. As State Representative for one of the faster growing regions in the nation, working to ensure adequate water resources and to invest in our state's roadways will continue to remain one of my top priorities.
