Once upon a time in Richardson, Texas while studying at UTD, a boy from Kansas met a girl from Taiwan. They fell in love, got married💒 and started a wonderful life together. Thank you Darcy for always standing by my side. Happy Anniversary!

America is a country of opportunity where anything is possible. Where else could a little girl who was raised in Taiwan after her parents fled communism, grow up to serve in the #TxLege? Thank you Mom & Dad for teaching me the value of freedom. #HD112 #NationalImmigrantsDay

Police protect our community which includes protecting those exercising their right to peacefully protest from those infringing on that right by rioting, looting or hurting others. I joined @GregAbbott_TX to propose turning rioting-related offenses into felonies.

Senseless attacks based on perceived ethnicity mock our Constitution. The promise of equal opportunity and protection under the law means just that. Let us not forget that promise protects all of us, whatever our background, and binds our future together as Americans.

These four Presidents disagreed on many things, but they all agreed that you should never raise taxes in a recession. I have fought for tax breaks at every turn, but when my opponent was asked if property taxes should be capped, she responded, "Absolutely not."
