Next Friday, we officially launch our campaign for Lt. Governor, and I can’t think of anywhere I’d rather be than with YOU, the people who will help us build a better Texas. When: July 18th, 6 to 9 PM Where: Kodosky Donor Lounge @ The Long Center 701 W. Riverside Drive, Austin…
With communities still recovering from devastating floods, this special session should prioritize disaster relief, not redistricting schemes. Texans should call Governor Abbott to focus on helping flood-affected families and communities. The people of Texas deserve better than…
The July 4th floods devastated Texas communities. 134 people died, including 37 children. Families are grieving, neighborhoods destroyed, $22 billion in damages unaddressed. Yet while communities struggle to rebuild, here’s what Lt. Gov Patrick and the Texas Senate chose to…
Texans deserve state leaders who put flood victims before federal favor. #txlege
Join us LIVE from Day 1 of Abbott’s special session: Governor Abbott is exploiting a tragedy to help Donald Trump rig our elections. Texas House Democrats are fighting back. #txlege x.com/i/broadcasts/1…
With all the issues being thrown at us everyday, it’s hard to focus on any one bad situation. But this story caught my attention and I feel compelled to share it. It is wrong to treat people the way this man was treated. We must share these stories until there aren’t these…
An 82 year old man named Luis Leon came to the US in 1987. He sought asylum from political persecution in Chile. He’s been in the US ever since & was granted a green card. He lost his wallet (and green card) in June & when he went to replace it he was disappeared by ICE 🧵
Thank you to everyone who joined us last night at our Campaign Kick Off in Austin! Special shoutout to the incredible elected officials, community leaders, and fellow Texans who came out to show their support. Your energy and commitment to our shared vision for Texas means…
Speaking at tonight’s Good Trouble Lives On event at St. Andrew’s Presbyterian Church, we discussed how our communities are still rebuilding from devastating floods, and families are just beginning to recover. This is not the time for political games like redistricting. County…
We partnered with @CTXCF to launch #TravisCountyCARES 🤝 This disaster relief fund will directly help the Sandy Creek community families get back on their feet after the devastating floods. Together, we make the road to rebuilding a little easier for our neighbors.🌳
Looking at campaign contribution information today, I see the “Border Health PAC” donated $150,000 to Dan Patrick. I bet Lt Gov is going to use that money to make sure the Rio Grande Valley’s free health clinic continues to take place this year. #txlege texastribune.org/2025/07/16/tex…
Trump is desperate to hold his majority in the House to bend to his will. That's why he's calling on Abbott to redistrict the Texas Congressional maps before the 2026 midterms. That's what an authoritarian does, not the leader of a democracy. That's what a bully does when he…
Next Saturday, we're bringing our campaign to Dallas, and I can't wait to connect with the incredible supporters who are ready to help us build a better Texas. When: July 26th, 6 to 9 PM Where: Community Beer Co. 3110 Commonwealth Dr., Dallas TX 75247 What: Campaign kick off…
We choose our politicians, not the other way around. Tell your State Reps and Senators to fight with every tool available to protect our democracy and defy the Trump Regime Special Session. #txlege
This Saturday, we're bringing our campaign to Houston, and I can't wait to connect with the incredible supporters who are ready to help us build a better Texas. When: July 19th, 6 to 9 PM Where: AxelRad Beer Garden 1517 Alabama St., Houston TX 77004 What: Campaign kick off with…
Honored to be recognized as a Texas Labor Champion with a 100% score on the @TexasAFLCIO 2025 Pro-Worker Scorecard! This recognition belongs to every hardworking Texan who deserves dignity on the job, fair wages, and safe workplaces. In times when worker rights face challenges,…
This week, ICE illegally denied me entry into a processing facility in my district, and today, they released a statement saying I “[gave] the appearance of a political stunt intended to generate publicity rather than pursue genuine oversight.” I have some thoughts.🧵
Today my staff and I worked alongside Representatives Troxclair and Noble and their teams, plus staff from additional legislative offices, to help Central Texas flood victims in Burnet. We packed belongings and helped repair homes for families who have lost so much in these…
Donald Trump is illegally withholding nearly $7 billion from public schools nationwide — including $700 million from Texas alone. This is a direct attack on our students, teachers, and the future of public education. From cutting afterschool programs to gutting classroom…
The Trump Administration Department of Education and OMB are illegally withholding $7 billion in education funding, jeopardizing the success of millions of students. I'm leading 150 House Democrats in demanding answers.
The “brown grass bill” (HB 517) has passed, protecting Texas homeowners from HOA fines when conserving water during droughts. While my HB 359 didn’t make it, I’m thrilled Rep. Caroline Harris Davila’s identical bill succeeded. Thanks to Bee Cave and Lakeway for their support!…
Yesterday, my office joined volunteers at Southern Oaks Church in Kerrville to help sort supplies for families devastated by recent flooding. Seeing the community come together during this difficult time reminds us of the strength and resilience of Texans. The organizers shared…
