Texan, Engineer, Chief Warrant Officer TXSG, & Representative for TX House District 64 fighting to #SaveTexas. Personal page for @RepHopper.
Joined August 2020
Today, alongside my family and so many from the district, I was sworn in as the Rep. for #HD64. The office in Austin and the soon-to-be office in district, are YOUR offices. It is my distinct honor to stand for the liberties of Wise and Denton Counties in the Texas Capitol.

Ends do not justify the means. Principle trumps outcome. If your TX Rep comes home to tell you that they were just "picking the winner" so that they could pass bills, you need a new rep. Today, such men allowed Dems to pick your Speaker. Weak men make for hard times. #txlege.
