Friend,
There are some nights from my time as a police detective that never leave me.
The overdoses.
The broken families.
The crime scenes tied back to cartel dope that never should have crossed our border in the first place.
I worked undercover inside those networks. I watched cartel runners poison our streets while politicians gave press conferences instead of backing law enforcement.
That is the reason I am running for Congress.
And it is the reason I launched Operation Hold the Line as our massive end-of-year goal.
I am not asking you to support another politician. I am asking you to stand with a Marine and retired detective who has spent his life on the other side of the yellow tape, looking evil in the eye.
This border district should not be in the hands of a Democrat who marched with radicals and talked about defunding the very officers standing between families and chaos.
If you believe we need someone in Congress who has actually fought cartels and traffickers, I need you with me today.
