Texas is as odd as it is vast.

Obviously, people in Texas have big hearts.

I'm from Texas, and one of the reasons I like Texas is because there's no one in control.

Texas was such a welcoming place, and with its unbelievable history and tradition, it's extra special to be a part of that.

The Fed is totally open.

I'm from Texas, and Texas has a reputation that far precedes actual Texas, and it is irritating sometimes.

I am pleased to report that Texas is known for having one of the strongest set of open government laws in our Nation. And ever since that experience, I have long believed that our federal government could use 'a little Texas sunshine.'

There is certainly a strong game development community in Texas, centered around Austin, with a significant additional contingency coming over from Dallas.

I had never been to Texas. I'd been through Texas, but I'm so glad to be back in a place that's not L.A. or New York. To talk about Dallas, to talk about there being sweet tea on the catering table, it's rich and saturated in American-ness.

Texas has a lot of challenges, but if I choose to run I will talk about opening democracy to mainstream Texans and not just to a closed circle of entrenched ideologues.
