Pete Sessions was first elected to Congress in 1996.  Throughout his 24 years in Congress, Pete has been an integral player within the Republican party.  He believes the United States of America is the greatest country on Earth and is a strong advocate for civility among our elected officials.  As a Member of the 119th Congress, Pete is a voice of balance, reason, and common sense.  

In January 2017, Abby turned to writing as a therapeutic outlet, starting a blog when she and her husband, Reid, were navigating serious health challenges while trying to build a family.

With Reid’s ongoing health struggles, Abby found solace in her writing and the support of loved ones, creating a solid network of encouragement around her. After four years of struggles, Abby and Reid experienced unexpected miracles that changed their lives in ways no one could have foreseen.

Their remarkable journey has become one of hope and inspiration, which Abby now shares in her book Impatiently Waiting for Miracles. Abby feels called to share their story to bring hope to others facing similar struggles. She advocates passionately for organ donation, infertility awareness, and mental health and openly shares their experiences to help others find strength and encouragement.

Abby’s mission can be summed up with these three words: Inspire. Engage. Connect.
