My Formal Announcement To Seek Re-Election To Be Made Monday

Those of you who follow this journal have the early scoop on everything. For instance, I am letting you know that my formal announcement to seek re-election to the Texas House of Representatives will be made this Monday. Yes, yes, I also told you in a joking fashion months ago.

My formal announcement of course is during the week of Thanksgiving. Despite the personal tragedies that my family and I experienced in the past, I have so much to be thankful for. I have a loving wife and five beautiful children. I have four healthy grandchildren. I am enjoying a full return to the practice of law with a noted and friendly law firm and finally am truly, truly enjoying the service to my community as a state representative.

Time after time, event after event, I feel fulfilled in the service to my community. I truly in my heart believe that a committed few can bend history to the positive. I want, with your help, to be one of those in the public service to others.

The reality is, whether in public or private service to this community, my path has already been set, long before I knew it existed. My choice has been made. I will be in the service to others for my remaining days. I can only pray that God will give me the opportunity to make a difference.

I can only ask for your friendship and understanding on this journey of ours. Sure we are bound to disagree at times, but our friendship and common goal of service to others will bind us together.

Thank you all for making the trip thus far an enjoyable one. May God bless!
