Great photo! Taylor has continued to grow and prosper over the years - first as an important shipping center for cattle, cotton, and grain, and now as a leader in our nation's semiconductor manufacturing. Through it all, Taylor has kept its small-town charm.
Two farmers on a bench in Taylor, 1939. I love the idea that these two ol' guys just happened to be sitting there when Russell Lee happened to pass by. They're gone and Russell's gone but this moment lives and is now being seen all around the world. And breakfast for 25 cents…
Yesterday, the Senate & House Select Committees on Disaster Preparedness & Flooding held our first joint hearing. We heard nearly 12 hours of testimony from the TDEM, DPS, & other agencies, who provided information about our state's response & preparedness to the devastating…
Congratulations to Trevor on earning his Eagle Scout rank! His service project was a beautiful scatter garden at Georgetown's IOOF Cemetery. I was proud to support him & his project. He's well on his way to becoming a community leader, just like his proud grandma, Betty Schleder!
I’m honored to have received the endorsement of President Trump in my re-election campaign. I look forward to continuing to fight for our conservative values in the Texas Senate. Thank you, Mr. President, for your trust and support! #txlege
Texans have suffered unimaginable loss and heartbreak, and deserve quick action. My fellow committee members and I are ready to get to work to provide recovery resources and identify long-term solutions to prevent future disasters. #txlege

It has come to my attention that a dark money group funded by trial lawyers has sent out an ad attacking me for authoring conservative legislation to rein in frivolous lawsuits and protect our economy. Ironically, the very trial lawyers funding the attack would have been held…
The Texas Senate and House will immediately begin working to deliver relief funding to flood-impacted communities and strengthen Texas’ readiness for future disasters. #txlege

Please continue to pray for those who have lost loved ones, homes, and livelihoods in the devastating Hill Country flooding. May God watch over all who remain in harm’s way and protect our first responders as they work around the clock to respond in these conditions. As the…

Congratulations to @Glenn_Hegar as he steps into his role as Chancellor! He's done a great job serving Texas, & I know he'll bring that same leadership to Texas A&M. Grateful to Chancellor Sharp for his 14 years of service to Texas A&M - his impact will be felt for generations.
Join us in welcoming @Glenn_Hegar as he starts his role as chancellor of the A&M System! Chancellor Hegar, the former Texas Comptroller, has served Texans for more than 2 decades & will now lead one of the largest systems of higher education in the U.S.: tx.ag/TAMUS070125
Even CNN can't deny that Trump is on a roll. ✅ Southern border crossings are the lowest since the 60s. ✅ U.S. companies are moving back home. ✅ Largest blue-collar wage increase in nearly three generations. ✅ Inflation down from 7% to 2.4%. ✅ Stock market hit a record high.
Trump is unifying all Americans! Trump won more of the Latino vote than previously thought. Harris’ margin was 3% - Biden had a 25% lead & Clinton had a 38% lead. Even if non-voters turned out, Trump would still have won - he had a 4% lead over Harris. pewrsr.ch/441YqFh
Proud to have helped bring this important in-home family-focused therapy program to Williamson County. The model helps keep families together and supports better outcomes for kids by addressing behavioral and mental health challenges at their root. #txlege wilcotx.gov/CivicAlerts.as…
It’s an honor to have the endorsement of the Bastrop County Conservatives PAC. I’m deeply grateful for their support and trust! #txlege
Texas keeps breaking records - six straight months of all-time high job numbers, including over 28k new jobs added last month! With continued job growth comes the need to equip the next generation for the jobs of tomorrow. That’s why I was proud to work with Representatives Bell…
Vetoing SB3 was the wrong decision. It puts many young Texans' lives at risk. I’m terribly disappointed and sad. #txlege
