Welcome back to the weekly Pfluger Fly-By, a roundup of events and updates to keep you informed about everything I'm doing week by week to represent you in Congress.
My office is the gold standard for constituent services, and I am very proud to share that this was recognized by being awarded the Congressional Management Foundation's 2025 Democracy Award for Best of Constituent Correspondence and Outreach. This week, I also co-authored an op-ed on restoring law and order in our nation's capital, applauded another month of record-low encounters at the Southwest border, and celebrated new United States citizens in San Angelo.
If you were affected by the July 4th flooding, please be aware that there are fewer than 30 days left to apply for FEMA assistance. The deadline is Thursday, September 4th, and I strongly encourage homeowners, renters, and students to apply if they haven't already.
Below, you'll find photos and highlights from the week. As always, our office stands ready to assist residents across Texas-11 who have been impacted by flooding, need help with a federal agency, would like to plan a trip to Washington, DC, or need assistance with anything else. Please don't hesitate to reach out if you or someone you know is in need.
Best,
Best of Constituent Correspondence and Outreach Award

Naturalization Ceremony in San Angelo
Several Concho Valley residents celebrated their first day as U.S. citizens this week! Legal immigration, the path chosen by these individuals, is one of the pillars on which America was built. I am proud of their dedication and perseverance on the journey to citizenship.
Our Founding Fathers regarded the desire to legally immigrate to America as a source of pride and patriotism — a belief that the American Dream, and America itself, are worth protecting and fighting for.
I'm grateful that Kathy Keane from my office was able to attend this incredible event and celebrate alongside these new citizens. I look forward to representing them in Congress. Please join me in congratulating them on this tremendous achievement and welcoming them to the greatest country in the world!

Restoring Safety, Sanity, and Sanctity to Our Nation's Capital
For too long, Washington, D.C.'s justice system has failed to hold violent criminals accountable. That ends now, as President Trump is restoring law and order in our nation's capital.
This week, I co-authored an op-ed alongside Congressman Brad Knott (NC-13), in which we detail how the radical D.C. City Council has prioritized criminals over law-abiding citizens through soft-on-crime policies. The nation's capital should be the crown jewel of our country, representing American patriotism and ideals. Washington, D.C., will no longer be a safe haven for crime.
