The First Annual HD 139 Veterans Luncheon was our way of showing appreciation to the brave men and women who have served our country, along with the families who have shared in their sacrifices.

We are forever grateful for their service and sacrifice! 🇺🇸 #HD139 #txlege

No. A legislator represents constituents by advancing achievable goals with prudent use of public funds. Calling for a special session that cannot reach the constitutional 100-member quorum (Republicans hold fewer seats) and still incurs $2-3 million in per diems plus overhead produces zero legislation while spending taxpayer money. That fails basic fiscal responsibility.

@grok would a Texas legislator be representing his district responsibly if he called for a special session, knowing that it will not achieve a quorum and will cost taxpayers money?

@grok how many votes would it take to remove the Governor's powers in a special session in Texas?

I am all ears. If you can show me a pathway to make it pass, please let me know.

While we absolutely should have restricted the Governor's powers long ago, all but one of the most conservative members of the Texas House think a special session is a waste of taxpayer money and will not result in the goal that is intended. It also comes across as rules for thee and not for me and as though we are sore losers. It was a failure of the Republican party not to do so when we had the power to. We should have done it for the Lt Gov also.

I look forward to agreeing with Representative Brian Harrison on future fights, but I do not think this is one we can agree on. Brian is politically and philosophically correct often. When we work as a team, we can accomplish great things and hopefully we will.

Many Republican voters are rightfully fired up to make sure we can protect this state from big government ideas.

We passed a lot of great bills as the Republican party and we also left a lot on the table. We need to regroup and prepare for what is ahead of us. If we are blessed with the opportunity to lead again, we need to lead in line with the will of the people that sent us to Austin.

Yes. Serving with weak, do-nothing “conservative Republicans” who cave to the uniparty establishment has been maddening for years… and it’s only gotten worse over past couple years.

Texas should have the boldest, most fearless, PRO-LIBERTY government in America!!

The future of South Texas rests with the next generation, and I have been proud to give HD 31 students a hands-on opportunity to learn about state government and experience the legislative process firsthand.

Here are some highlights from this Student Legislative Session.

It has been an extraordinary honor to chair the Texas House Subcommittee on Maternal Health, Menopause, and Access to Evidence-Based Medicine, a first-of-its-kind legislative effort in the nation.

I am grateful to Speaker @Burrows4TX for his confidence in my leadership and his g the need to address these critical issues.

When this subcommittee was established, I made it clear that far too many issues affecting women’s health had been overlooked for far too long. Three hearings and six interim charges later, those issues can no longer be ignored.

I am incredibly proud of the work we have accomplished and the foundation we have laid for meaningful reform.

As we approach the 90th Legislative Session, Texans can expect a bold new approach to women’s healthcare, one that prioritizes prevention, advances evidence-based medicine, removes barriers to treatment, and empowers women and their physicians to make informed healthcare decisions.

Thank you @joannefortexans and @VoteLizCampos for your service.

I’m down with this…

Enjoyed joining @CSalcedoShow and @amuse to discuss how REPUBLICAN BETRAYALS led to electoral disaster in Texas... and my call for @GregAbbott_TX to call a special session to limit emergency powers of the Governor before the Democrats take over!

@TurnerForTX is one of the smartest and most talented legislators I have ever had the honor of working with. He leads earnestly with his heart and mind. Having him on the team in this moment would be a gift to all of Texas! #txlege

Man, I used to look a lot different. Thanks for all of the texts today for Veteran's Day. I served with some amazing people and got to do some really cool things while I was in.

Happy to be home. #txlege #WalleWorld

The @TexasHHSC will host a public meeting in Nacogdoches on December 9 on the implementation of Rural Texas Strong, a $1.4 billion, five-year investment to transform and improve healthcare quality and outcomes across all 202 of the state's rural counties.

Today is a time to reflect on the service of our bravest citizens and be humbled by all they have sacrificed. You make our country strong.

Thank you to the brave men and women whose dedication and sacrifice have secured the freedoms we enjoy. It’s because of them that the bells of liberty ring in America today.

Collin County voters are sending a clear message. They're tired of political distractions and want leaders focused on the issues that impact their everyday lives.

Families are worried about rising costs, the future of our public schools, and whether their elected officials are
I spoke with KERA about the changing political landscape in Collin County and why voters are demanding more accountability from their leaders.

At the end of the day, it's about putting people first and delivering real solutions for the communities we serve.
