Cyber threats are rising, and the rapid growth of artificial intelligence is transforming every sector—offering both incredible promise and serious risk.

This week, I traveled to Washington, D.C. to advocate for the landmark laws we passed here in Texas—including the creation of the Texas Cyber Command and our comprehensive AI Framework, both of which I authored.

I had the privilege of:

Speaking at the Cyber Civil Defense Forum, where state and federal leaders are working together to confront today’s digital threats.

Meeting with congressional and senatorial offices, federal policy groups, and other national leaders to share how Texas is setting the pace on cyber and AI regulation.

Listening to the President’s remarks on the White House South Lawn —and even got the chance to shake his hand!

I also had a great time with my friends and former colleagues Congressman Goldman and Secretary Turner.

Cyberattacks in the U.S. rose by more than 80% last year—and AI-enabled threats are growing. We can’t afford to wait. That’s why I’m continuing to work hard every day to ensure Texas—and our nation—stays ahead.

I’ll always fight to keep Texas families, businesses, and infrastructure safe. 🇺🇸

Had an incredible time in DC last week, speaking at the National Press Club, talking AI legislation to the press, getting to see some of my friends and former colleagues, and even getting a chance to say hello to Speaker Johnson. Sine Die doesn’t mean we can take a break from fighting for our constituents! Sponsored and spoke at our first Dementia Symposium on Saturday at the Grapevine Convention Center - and looking forward to several local events coming up!

Today marked the final day of the 140-day legislative session, and I couldn’t be prouder of what we accomplished for HD98.

With 38 of my bills heading to the Governor’s desk or already signed into law—24 as the author and 14 as the House sponsor—this session was the most productive of my seven terms. From cutting red tape through our regulatory reform act, to passing a first-in-the-nation AI framework that balances innovation with critical safeguards, to advancing support for Alzheimer’s patients and driving new levels of transparency in government—each bill reflects months of hard work, late nights, and a deep commitment to serving the nearly 200,000 constituents I represent.

I want to sincerely thank my incredible staff, whose tireless dedication made this success possible and my constituents, whose trust remains my greatest honor.
