If we can love all of our neighbors, including our enemies, that's when we are truly following that barefoot rabbi from 2,000 years ago. It's that commandment to love thy neighbor is what it got me into, public service. It's why I became a public school teacher on the west side of San Antonio. It's why I ran for the state House. It's why I've passed those 60 bipartisan bills to lower people's costs. I'm trying to love my neighbor through public policy. (17:17–17:22)
