Ken King is a Democrat. Period. End of story. We will never get property tax relief as long as a Speaker finds this kind of behavior acceptable.

I’m honored to have the endorsement of President Donald J. Trump. President Trump knows that Texas is strongest when we protect our border, defend our freedoms, and stand up for conservative values. That’s exactly what I’ve worked to deliver in the Texas House, from securing

Great visit this week with Robby Kirkland and Ben Weinheimer from the Cattle Feeders Association. Cattle feeders are a cornerstone of our Panhandle economy, supporting jobs, families, and communities across House District 88. I’ll always stand with the folks who keep our ag

Ready or not, we're getting ready to go back to school. Thank you to the army of folks who care for our kids—our teachers, leaders, librarians, counselors, and school nurses. This year, we passed the largest school funding package in Texas history. Strong schools help build

It's Texas Tax-Free Weekend!. This is a great time to knock out back-to-school shopping and save a few dollars. If you can, shop small. Supporting local businesses helps a neighbor, not a corporate office three states away. Strong local economies start right here at home.

Pampa’s 78th Annual Top O’ Texas Rodeo kicks off this weekend. Rodeos have always been part of our way of life, and this one’s been going strong for nearly eight decades. Good luck to the riders, and thank you to everyone in Gray County who works so hard to keep this tradition

Some carried the scars home. Some didn't make it home at all. Today we honor those in HD88 and across the country who were wounded or gave their lives in service. Freedom comes at a great cost, and these men and women paid it. We're so thankful for their bravery and sacrifice.

Yesterday, Kerrville filled the Hill Country Youth Event Center with neighbors who lived through the July 4 floods and first-responders who rushed in to help. The House Select Committee on Disaster Preparedness and Flooding listened while they walked us through radio dead zones,

Tax-Free Weekend is a good time to grab what your kids need for school—without Austin taking a cut. It runs August 8th - August 10th. Teachers, parents, and students: I’ll keep working to make sure our schools have the funding and resources they need to succeed.

Veterans know discipline, teamwork, and responsibility—because they’ve lived it. Today is Hire a Veteran Day, and I want every business owner in HD 88 to know: when you hire a vet, you’re not doing them a favor—you’re making your company stronger. Let’s get behind the folks
