Yesterday, I cast my last vote as a member of the U.S. House of Representatives on a government funding package that brings more than $27 million back to #TX30, provides record funding for childcare programs, and increases funding in health research.
TX30 is the district of champions. Congratulations to @SOCHighSchool, @desotoisdeagles, and @Duncanville_HS on their historic Texas High School Football State Championship victories this weekend

The U.S. only produces 10% of global chip capacity.
