What would be your top priorities if you are elected?
WH: In order to preserve the American promise for future generations, I will: protect Houston’s energy jobs from Congressional Democrats and the Green New Deal, [and] ensure Houston receives the support it needs to recover from [Hurricane] Harvey and prevent future flooding.
How will you work to build productive relationships across districts and party lines?
WH: Leaders across the aisle need to act based on the needs of their constituents, not the priorities of their political parties. When I get to D.C., I will work with both parties to deliver results to the 7th District and Texas as a whole.
