J.D. Clark

Honored to deliver the keynote at Wise County Veterans Group Memorial Day Ceremony. This day is sacred in the American story, a day to remember those who gave everything so the rest of us could live free. May we never become so comfortable in freedom that we forget what it cost.

Infrastructure Week in DC was an important opportunity to advocate for counties & the communities we serve. Met with @WhiteHouse & congressional leadership to support BUILD America 250 Act & infrastructure investment for counties. #InfrastructureWeek #localgovt @NACoCounties

Athena Strand is more than just a name featured in a crime story. She was a Wise County resident, a student at Paradise Elementary, a beloved friend and a bright light to all who knew the child. This is Athena's story. Link: wcmessenger.com/articles/life-…

.@POTUS: "Honoring the British King might seem an ironic beginning to our celebration of 250 years of American independence — but in fact, no tribute could be more appropriate. Long before Americans had a nation or Constitution, we first had a culture, a character, and a creed. Before we ever proclaimed our independence, Americans carried within us the rarest of gifts: moral courage, and it came from a small but mighty kingdom from across the sea."

Appreciative of Governor @GregAbbott_TX for honoring my request to issue Texas Disaster Declaration for Wise County. Helps ensure all available resources can be used by those impacted by tornado and storms. Thank you, Governor!

Only one chance in this lifetime… Like watching sunset at the beach from the most foreign seat in the cosmos, I couldn’t resist a cell phone video of Earthset. You can hear the shutter on the Nikon as @Astro_Christina is hammering away on 3-shot brackets and capturing those exceptional Earthset photos through the 400mm lens. @AstroVicGlover was in window 3 watching with @Astro_Jeremy next to him. I could barely see the Moon through the docking hatch window but the iPhone was the perfect size to catch the view…this is uncropped, uncut with 8x zoom which is quite comparable to the view of the human eye. Enjoy.

Honored to deliver keynote at @TAMU @BushSchool City-County Governance Symposium. Spoke on need for local storytelling in policy. If policymakers don’t hear local voices/stories, the conversation is missing something essential. @NACoCounties @TexasCounties #txlege

Appreciated speaking with the National Association of County Engineers. Contact your Congressman and support adding the BASICS Act to the next Highway Bill reauthorization to expand direct federal access for county roads. @NACoCounties @TexasCounties

We need modern county road funding for 21st century. Counties maintain 50%+ of TX roads but get just 0.2% of fuel tax revenue, unchanged since 1954. We’re not asking to raise taxes, just update allocation: 1 penny (5%) for counties.Wise Co: $61K → $1.6M. wcmessenger.com/articles/wise-…

Happy to be giving the keynote address at the Wise County Chamber of Commerce…but even happier that sweet Claire Grace is accompanying me tonight!

Grateful to be back at the White House with Leah and our girls for the Easter Egg Roll. Moments like this mean more when shared as a family. Thank you to @WhiteHouse and the Office of Intergovernmental Affairs for the invitation and warm welcome.

GOD BLESS AMERICA

“He forgave them and that spirit brings me to my knees…for the one that they hung between two thieves…”

He is Risen! Happy Easter!

🚨“WE GOT HIM! My fellow Americans, over the past several hours, the United States Military pulled off one of the most daring Search and Rescue Operations in U.S. History, for one of our incredible Crew Office Members, who also happens to be a highly respected Colonel, and who I am thrilled to let you know is SAFE and SOUND!” - President Donald J. Trump 🇺🇸

🚨 Jamie Dimon explains why people are leaving New York "Our head count in Manhattan when I got to JPMorgan was 35,000 and now is 26,000. Our head count in Texas started at 11,000, now it's 33,000. That's what happens." Jamie Dimon on why companies are leaving New York: "Highest individual taxes, highest estate taxes, highest corporate taxes, anti-business sentiment." "When I grew up as a kid in New York City, there were 120 of the Fortune 500 headquarters there. In the 1970s, 60 of the 120 left, including Exxon, GE, IBM, Union Carbide. They're all going to Texas." The Hill & Valley Forum 2026 @HillValleyForum @jpmorgan @ChairmanG

We see our home planet as a whole, lit up in spectacular blues and browns. A green aurora even lights up the atmosphere. That's us, together, watching as our astronauts make their journey to the Moon.

Good Friday: a time to pause and reflect on the depth of Christ’s sacrifice and the love that made it possible. “But God demonstrates His own love for us in this: While we were still sinners, Christ died for us.” Romans 5:8
