Rep. McCaul visiting Texas A&M's Bush School and Rellis Campus

As a native to Austin, it's always good to see the growth happening in my hometown — especially when it comes to science and technology. And I'm excited for how my CHIPS for America Act will continue to impact the state. This bill is working to bring semiconductor manufacturing back to America, and Texas is leading the charge! This week, I saw firsthand how semiconductors are being produced at Austin's silicon labs.

I also had the honor of touring the Army Futures Command in Austin, which will be instrumental in the technological modernization of our military. This group of U.S. soldiers, led by the diligent General James Rainey, is ushering in Artificial Intelligence and data science innovations to tremendously enhance the future of U.S. combat.
