Last night, when I saw the first numbers that were released for the race for HD 41, I called my opponent, Julio Salinas, and congratulated him on his victory. Julio invited me to get together with him, which was a very nice gesture.
I have stood up for unity in our political process. In politics, we should be able to agree to disagree. Family and friends are more important than political opinions. During the campaign, I went to a Mass at the Basilica in San Juan to pray for unity in our political process.
I pray that both parties in Austin and Washington, D.C., work together to solve problems like affordability, healthcare, and immigration, and lay the foundation for great job opportunities for our people.
I met so many wonderful people on the campaign trail, and I truly feel blessed to have met you all and to know you. To all of you who supported me in this effort, God bless you. I’m so grateful for your friendship and support.
To my wonderful campaign team, you all are amazing, and I’m so grateful for your friendship and support.
I want to thank my wife, Debbie, who stood by me and supported me during this campaign, which lasted over a year. It wasn’t easy, so God bless you, honey, for all your support and love.
Most of all, I want to thank God and my Savior, Jesus Christ, for blessing me with love and guidance throughout this campaign, which lasted well over a year.
A big shout-out to New Life Family Church for all the wonderful services and prayers that I was able to experience with you all.
May God bless and protect our great nation and grant our leaders in office great wisdom to lead us with.
