Excellent! $7.75 million for @SouthernGWPark! This is a major investment in Oak Cliff — and in the quality of life of the people of Dallas.
This is what effective legislators do. Thank you to @RepVeasey and @RepEBJ for their leadership on this high-priority project for our city!

Proud to announce that I secured over $30 million in funding and other big wins for North Texas in the historic government funding bill that we just passed! These critical investments will strengthen our community and help address our pressing issues.
