"As has always been the case, my attention and focus will be on representing my constituents in Austin during the upcoming legislative session that starts in less than four weeks. The last year and a half of meeting people through my open office hours program has given me great value and perspective to apply while serving them on the House floor. I do look forward to restarting this great outreach program on Sept. 7."
