This week, I took the floor to honor the life and legacy of Vernell Sturns, a trailblazing public servant, civic leader, and mentor who dedicated his life to strengthening North Texas and inspiring future generations. His legacy of leadership, service, and mentorship will live on through the countless lives he touched. My deepest condolences to his family, friends, and loved ones.

I was joined by the seniors at the Martin Weiss Recreation Center to announce $1.2 million in federal investment to support improvements at the center in Oak Cliff and they were so excited to hear about the enhancements to their programming that will come through this funding.

Martin Weiss is more than a recreation center—it is a place where our community comes together, where young people find opportunity, and where generations of Dallas residents can learn, play, and grow.

Delivering resources like this is about making sure every neighborhood has access to safe, welcoming spaces that strengthen communities and create opportunity. I look forward to seeing this investment make a lasting difference for Oak Cliff.

Nuclear power is key to meeting our growing energy needs while reducing carbon emissions. The Efficient Nuclear Licensing Hearings Act cuts unnecessary delays in the NRC’s licensing process without compromising safety or public input. It will save taxpayer dollars, speed up approvals, and lower energy costs for families in Texas and across the country. This bill is a common-sense step toward a more affordable energy future.

Strong communities don’t just happen—they’re built by people who are willing to step up, get involved, and lead.

I was honored to join fellow community leaders for a Paths Forward panel, a leadership program of the Fort Worth Metropolitan Black Chamber of Commerce focused on preparing emerging leaders to make an impact through local government and civic engagement.

It was a meaningful opportunity to connect with the next generation of leaders, share lessons from public service, and discuss how working together can help shape the future of our communities.

Thank you to the Fort Worth Metropolitan Black Chamber of Commerce for investing in leaders who are ready to make a difference in Fort Worth and beyond.

As part of my Marc Means Business series, I recently visited Envision Dallas, an organization creating employment, training, and greater independence for people who are blind or visually impaired across North Texas.
It was great to see firsthand how Envision Dallas is connecting individuals with meaningful career opportunities and resources that improve quality of life.

A special thank you to Dallas Lighthouse for the Blind for its longstanding service to our community and its partnership with Envision. Organizations like these show what’s possible when businesses and community partners work together to create a more inclusive North Texas economy where everyone has the opportunity to thrive.

$850,000 is headed to Forest Hill to help build a smarter, stronger community.

This past week, I had the chance to present the City of Forest Hill with $850,000 for its Smart City Community Development Program The funding will support smart water meters, energy-efficient LED lighting, and more accessible sidewalks—investments that will help the city save money, improve services, and make Forest Hill more walkable and connected.

Thank you to Mayor Boardingham and the City Council for the warm welcome and for all you do for Forest Hill.

As my time in Congress winds down, I’m proud to keep doing what I came here to do: bring resources home and deliver for the people of .

North Texas’ economic success didn’t happen by accident—it’s built on leaders from both sides of the aisle working together to create opportunity, attract investment, and keep our region growing.

I joined my colleague Congresswoman Beth Van Duyne at the Dallas Regional Chamber Congressional Forum to discuss our thriving North Texas economy and my work in Congress to help make our region one of the best places in the country to do business.

We may not agree on everything in Washington, but when it comes to creating jobs, growing our economy, and expanding opportunity for North Texans, bipartisanship matters.

A $1 million investment in the West Dallas Pedestrian/Bike Land Bridge is an investment in connecting people, neighborhoods, and opportunity.

Presented to the Trinity Park Conservancy last Thursday, these resources will help create safe pedestrian and bike access between West Dallas, Trinity Park, and the rest of the city—across a divide that has long separated our communities.

Investments like this do more than build bridges and trails. They help create healthier, safer, and more economically vibrant communities across Dallas.

As I prepare to conclude my time in Congress, I’m honored to be recognized as a healthcare champion. Expanding access to affordable health care for North Texans, particularly in a community that has faced one of the lowest life expectancies in Texas, has been one of the greatest privileges of my time in office.
