Redemptive Texas: David Hart’s Story

Made mistakes. Did the work. Asking Texas for a full pardon to serve in uniform—without the label. Redemption is real.

[Redemptive Texas: David Hart’s Story @PardonDavidHart]

Texas believes in redemption.
Tennessee proved it this week.

@GregAbbott_TX has the chance to show that people can grow beyond their past and give David Hart the opportunity to fully move forward.

Second chances matter in Texas. 🤠

[Redemptive Texas: David Hart’s Story @PardonDavidHart]

On this Thanksgiving, a turkey was pardoned — a symbol of grace and second chances.

Governor @GregAbbott_TX, we respectfully ask you to take a second look at David Hart’s packet.
His many years of sobriety, service, and true redemption deserve reconsideration.

Governor @GregAbbott_TX, Texas has always been a place where people rise after adversity. David Hart’s journey is exactly that — years of public service, community leadership, and dedication to helping others long after a decades-old, non-violent mistake.

Redemption shouldn’t be a slogan; it should be the standard we lift up. Stories like his remind us what Texas values truly look like: grit, responsibility, and the courage to rebuild.

A fair look at his case would reflect the very principles our state is built on. Texans believe in redemption — and we know you do too.

Impact? Legacy?

This is what drives me to push harder each and EVERY day. No matter the outcome. Stay true to who you are and be a light in the darkness of the world.

[Greg Abbott @GregAbbott_TX]

Today, Uvalde County was added to President Trump’s Major Disaster Declaration at my request.

This unlocks more federal aid Texans need to rebuild.

Texas stands strong with every family and community working to rebuild and recover from devastating floods.

Redemption isn’t built in comfort. It’s built when the storm hits and you keep showing up anyway.

Second chances in motion.
Over 2,400 cases of water delivered to Texas first responders—service fueled by redemption, grit, and a system that works when people live it out.

@TexasBiker1966 @DougDeason @hartd83 @GregAbbott_TX @TDCJ Carl, I appreciate your trust in me. It’s important. Just like trust in this process.

Hope you are well!

@CarlaStrauser @hollyshansen Thank you :)

[Redemptive Texas: David Hart’s Story @PardonDavidHart]

He didn’t just rebuild his life—
He became proof that the system works when redemption is possible.

We believe in that system.
And we hope it sees what it helped build.

Follow the journey.
Let the work speak.

@olcott4texas @realDonaldTrump @GregAbbott_TX Thanks for real leadership.

[Redemptive Texas: David Hart’s Story @PardonDavidHart]

@DanPatrick Hard work and perseverance produces results!

[Redemptive Texas: David Hart’s Story @PardonDavidHart]

Powerful to see conversations like this gaining traction. When redemption leads to real change, it should be recognized—not just for me, but for anyone who’s walked the long road back. Grateful to all who believe in second chances and the system’s ability to get it right.

[Doug Deason @DougDeason]

Agreed @JessicaJackson @AliceMarieFree is the perfect person to handle the clemency process for the @realDonaldTrump administration. The media can’t wrap their brains around something so out of the box. @RightOnCrime @tolmanbrett @jaredkushner @JaRonSmith45

[Redemptive Texas: David Hart’s Story @PardonDavidHart]

@DougDeason , I think they’re on to something here.

[Redemptive Texas: David Hart’s Story @PardonDavidHart]

Too many Americans are still defined by their worst chapter—no matter how far they’ve come.

Accountability matters. But so does redemption.

Thanks @laralogan & @RightOnCrime for spotlighting what real justice should look like.
