Texas Insider Report: WASHINGTON, D.C. – Last week, I was honored to welcome the family of Jocelyn Nungaray, Governor Greg Abbott, and U.S. Department of the Interior Secretary Doug Burgum to our district for the renaming of the Anahuac National Wildlife Refuge to the Jocelyn Nungaray Wildlife Refuge, a change President Trump first announced during his Joint Address to Congress. Meeting Jocelyn’s family, especially her mother Alexis and her little brother Elias, was a deeply moving reminder of the strength it takes to endure unimaginable loss.
It is only fitting that this beautiful refuge, a place filled with life and the animals Jocelyn loved, will forever stand in her honor. Jocelyn’s life was taken far too soon, and her memory strengthens our resolve to continue working every single day to Make America Safe Again.
We owe it to Jocelyn, her family, and all American families to do everything we can to ensure that needless tragedies like this never happen again.
Pilot Boat Ride Through the Port of Houston
I hopped aboard a pilot boat with my friend Rep. Mike Collins (R-GA), Chairman of the Water Resources Subcommittee, to tour two of our container ports. Did you know the Port of Houston is the busiest in the United States?
It’s a cornerstone of our economy, and we're working to keep it strong.
Visiting the Port of Beaumont
It’s always a pleasure to visit the Port of Beaumont and hear about the great work happening there! I was truly honored to be recognized by the Port for receiving the American Association of Port Authorities' Port Person of the Year award. Supporting the Port of Beaumont—and all the ports in our district—is a priority for me. Their work is vital to the prosperity, economy, and national security of the United States.
Speaking with the Greater Houston Partnership
I was honored to speak to the Greater Houston Partnership about how Washington can support domestic energy independence, the future of supersonic transportation, and why Houston is key to American innovation.
Our region is on the frontlines of the future, and I’ll keep fighting for policies that help us thrive.
