As we continue to grieve for our fellow Texans impacted by the floods, Governor Abbott has asked all to pause today, proclaiming a Day of Prayer in Texas. Lord Almighty, bring comfort to those families who have lost a loved one and to those who are still hoping and praying to…
Update: Governor Greg Abbott held a press conference along with Secretary of Homeland Security Kristi Noem. They were joined by local and state officials. As of now, over 850 rescues by state and local officials have been successfully conducted. It is confirmed that 32 are…
Search and rescue missions continue in the Hill Country as the ongoing flooding continues to rage. During a 10 am Texas Department of Emergency Management conference call this morning, it was reported that Texas Task Force 1 & 2, plus another nine rescue teams, had conducted…
Our Fourth of July celebrations have been saddened by the news coming out of the Texas Hill Country where our hearts are breaking as we learn more about the catastrophic and deadly flooding. We pray for everyone who is missing and hold out hope that they will be rescued and…
Pulling out for a great day with many stops and a parade on the 4th of July in Senate District 18! 🇺🇸 Jimmy Kolkhorst = Best Volunteer Campaign Staffer ever! Happy Independence Day!
Texas is leading the way. Thank you, @GregAbbott_TX, @LoisKolkhorst, @LaceyHullTx for your leadership on this MAHA bill. I call on governors across the nation to join us in our pursuit to Make America Healthy Again.
It's official! SB 25--Make Texas Healthy Again has been signed by @GregAbbott_TX. Many thanks for Gov. Abbott's support and the support from so many, all the way to the White House with @CalleyMeans and Secretary of Health and Human Services @SecKennedy and so many others!…

Happy to visit with KBTX-TV this afternoon about the legislation passed in the 89th! We had a good review of SB 17–a bill that I’ve worked on for two sessions that is of national security importance. SB 17 will prohibit our nation’s adversaries like China, Russia, North Korea…
SB 17 is on its way to the Governor’s Desk! For three years, I’ve worked to pass a bill to protect our land, homes, commercial buildings, water, timber, oil and gas and rare earth materials from being bought up by foreign adversarial nations like China, Russia, North Korea and…
Grateful to my colleagues in the Texas House who are taking up SB 25 today — a transformational bill about tackling chronic disease in Texas and leading our nation. What SB 25 does: —Teaches nutrition in med schools —Protects PE and recess for our kids —Adds warning labels for…
Food industry in full freak out mode against #MAHA #Texas health bill - Wow stunning letter. Our health is being decimated and they are fighting against warning labels.
A victory for small business! An important bill I wrote with home-based food companies, Senate Bill 541 is now enrolled and on its way to the Governor’s desk for his signature. I have worked with members of the cottage food industry since my days in the House, passing the first…
State Sen. @LoisKolkhorst calls it a “national security bill” as Texas pushes back against foreign adversaries
Good to be home for 48 hours! God Bless Texas!
A solemn day in Texas history today, when on March 27, 1836, General Santa Anna ordered every prisoner being held in Goliad to be executed as traitors to Mexico. Shortly thereafter, almost 350 brave souls lost their life to a firing squad. Today we remember Goliad! The fierce…
Thank you @joerogan for the shout out on your show this week and for bringing attention to the MAHA movement in Texas! #txlege
THE AMERICAN HEART ASSOCIATION TESTIFIED AGAINST A BILL THAT WOULD HELP OBESITY THAT WOULD HELP HEART DISEASE. @LoisKolkhorst joins @stinchfield1776 to talk about a Texas bill to stop SNAP junk food purchases. “We’ve had a complete breakdown of healthcare common sense.”
Texas is leading the way to Make America Healthy Again with bills like my SB 25, SB 314 by @SenBryanHughes, and SB 379 from @mayes_middleton. Our children will live more productive, longer lives as we tackle the root of chronic illnesses in America. Ask yourself, why do our foods…
Can someone explain why the AMERICAN HEART ASSOCIATION is actively lobbying for government-funded soda?
I am disgusted. The American Heart Association just sent an employee to TEXAS to fight a bill that would stop food stamps from covering candy & soda—a bill to reduce heart disease. Why? Because the AHA takes money from Kellogg’s & Pepsi, whose profits would tank if it passed.…
