Yes, @BorrisLMiles & I are looking forward to hearing from her.
After requests by two Texas Democrats, Texas Senate redistricting committee has asked U.S. Assistant Attorney General Harmeet Dhillion to testify before the committee. #txlege
After @BorrisLMiles and I repeatedly asked for this DOJ attorney to come speak to the committee and explain why she's asking the state to illegally draw a new map using race, the Chairman formally invited her. I look forward to hearing from her very soon. #txlege
