Issue Position: Invest in Critical Infrastructure

Issue Position

With the rate of growth expected in Texas in the coming years, we must continue to invest in our state's critical infrastructure -- including water resource development and transportation -- to meet the demands of and to serve the Texans of today and the future Texans of tomorrow. Transportation and natural resource infrastructure are core functions of government that must be addressed head-on with bold, fiscally conservative solutions.

In 2013 I was proud to co-author legislation addressing our state's long term water needs by formulating a sustainable plan to provide the vital capital needed to fund the Texas State Water Plan. Most recently during the 84th Legislative Session we worked diligently to provide substantial funding measures for public, non-tolled roadways across Texas.
