Representatives who value their public schools over Governor Abbott’s endorsement will keep fighting to keep public dollars in public schools. Our priority is public education, not billionaires. #saynotovouchers #fundstudentsnotbillionaires

Such legislation undermines public health and puts vulnerable populations at risk. It’s crucial that we prioritize community safety and focus on enhancing our life saving medical achievements over misguided notions of personal freedom.

The death of even 1 Texan is too many. To address these failures, I’ve filed HB 2166 and HB 2167. HB 2166 proposes the creation of an independent market monitor to oversee the natural gas market, ensuring transparency and detecting market manipulation to prevent unfair pricing & reduced competition.

Texas does not have enough senior living facilities and our seniors need a safe and comfortable space to retire. Thank you @ccyoungageless, @JulietteFowlerCommunities, and @leadingagetx for coming to the Capitol to discuss how the state can deliver better care to our aging population.

This year the #District114 ornament was designed by Ms. Morgan Smith, art teacher at Woodrow Wilson High School. You can view our ornament, along with ornaments from other Texas district, on display at the Texas Capitol. Happy Holidays!
