Welcome back to the Pfluger Fly-By, a weekly roundup of the work I am doing to represent you and our communities in Congress.
It is always an honor to represent the best district in the country! I recently had the opportunity to connect with many of you at events throughout the district, including attending meetings with the Menard Business Association and the San Saba Rotary Club. I also had the pleasure of joining the celebration of the 50th anniversary of the American Exploration and Production Council.
On the media front, I joined Fox West Texas in studio, spoke with Ruth Campbell at the Odessa American, and went live on The Story on Fox News with guest host Trace Gallagher. My office is also continuing to accept applications for the 2026 Congressional Art Competition, which is an incredible opportunity for students to have their artwork displayed in the U.S. Capitol.
Below, you'll find highlights, including pictures, in-depth updates, and information on how my office can help you with any federal concerns. As always, my team and I are here to serve you. Please don't hesitate to reach out if you need assistance.
Best,
Menard Business Association Meeting
I had a great time joining the Menard Business Association's lunch for a lively and productive conversation.Small businesses are the backbone of our communities, and I'm proud to be their voice in Washington.
That's why I fought to deliver major wins through the Working Families Tax Cuts, such as making 199A small-business deductions permanent at 20%, expanding tax relief, incentivizing Made-in-America investments, and much more. I appreciate the Menard Business Association for the invitation to speak and give an update from Washington.
Fox West Texas Interview with Ethan Purcell
I had the pleasure of joining Ethan Purcell from Fox West Texas in studio to discuss the ongoing Department of Homeland Security shutdown, the passage of my legislation in the U.S. House, the Save America Act, and much more.

Tax Day is Fast-Approaching!
Tax Day is coming up NEXT WEEK on April 15th. I wanted to take a moment to remind everyone that thanks to the Republican-led Working Families Tax Cuts (WFTC) signed into law last year, Americans are keeping more of their hard-earned money this tax season.
I firmly believe Americans deserve lower taxes and less government in their lives, which is exactly what this legislation delivers. One of the many critical provisions in this legislation was the permanent extension of the 2017 Trump Tax Cuts. Without this, over 475,000 taxpayers in Texas's 11th Congressional District would have faced a 26% tax increase, the largest in American history.
I penned an op-ed outlining these wins for TX-11 in the San Angelo Standard Times last fall. Read the piece hereor by clicking the image below.
