Upon returning to Texas, Furman moved to the San Antonio area with the intention of singing Donald Trump’s praises on the campaign trail and hammering one of the GOP’s top issues: border security. “I am a Texan and I have always maintained my Texas resident status serving around the world in the U.S. military,” Furman told NOTUS in a statement. “While I began my military career flying Blackhawks on the Texas border in a drug war, I now return home to find my state’s border completely broken and, of course, I want to help put it back together.”
“Sometimes a military member goes in front of the family, as I have retired back here to Texas,” he said. “I have always been a Texas resident, but I have a son and a wife. He’s trying to finish up high school. She’s trying to help him. He is trying to finish at the same place. That’s real rare for us.”
