As the former Chairman of the Military Transformation Task Force, I helped protect San Antonio's military facilities during the 2005 Base Realignment and Closure (BRAC) round. We were able to turn a projected loss of more than 1,000 jobs into a net gain of nearly 11,000 jobs, establishing south Texas as the home of all medical military medical training in the United States. I am committed to cultivating the military's presence in San Antonio and will work to develop solutions to protect the mission of Camp Bullis and Fort Sam Houston.
