Jason is a former member of the Texas legislature. He has had a multifaceted career in corporate governance, regulatory compliance, and governmental relations. He started his political career in 2012 as the first Hispanic to represent for Texas House District 114. During his time of service, Jason passed more legislation than any member of his class.

Due to his extensive knowledge of the corporate world, the Speaker of the House appointed Jason to the important Special Select Committees on Small Business and Economic Incentives, and Redistricting.

One of Jason’s biggest accomplishments is the Texas Hispanic Policy Foundation, which he founded in 2019. This non-profit, non-partisan foundation is dedicated to educational research to better understand the cultural and political trends of Texas’ largest ethnic minority. The Texas Hispanic Policy Foundation has raised over a million dollars and has been engaged by the Bill and Melinda Gates Foundation, Texas 2036, the Philanthropy Advocates, and the Meadows Foundation, among many others, to conduct research relating to the Hispanic community in Texas.
