Today Greg Abbott pardoned a self-proclaimed racist and convicted murderer, even reinstating his access to purchase firearms.

Garrett Foster's life was taken and justice should be served. Black lives matter.

My friend Jasmine Crockett was in Houston last week reminding everyone of our historic fight for voting rights. We left the House, that was the only play we had to stop the nation’s worst voter suppression bill. Jasmine and I stayed out til the very end and we'd do it again.

We spent an entire year telling you over and over again NO to vouchers. Greg Abbott held fully funding our schools hostage to his voucher scam.

So yeah, it IS your fault. # txlege

I am making a major investment in my good friend's Jarvis Johnson runoff campaign for Texas Senate.

We need someone with actual legislative experience in this seat.

Go vote, Houston!

HUGE NEWS, my colleague and former Texas public school teacher, James Talarico is endorsing my campaign for Texas Senate. He's seen me fight back against Texas Republicans’ extremism firsthand. Together, we defeated Greg Abbott’s voucher scam in the Texas House.

HUGE NEWS! Texas AFT, a statewide union with 66,000 members, has ENDORSED my campaign for Texas Senate!

They know I have been a long-time advocate for public education, and have the track record to prove it! I voted AGAINST vouchers, and FOR public education!

Regardless of what anyone says, don't let fiction cloud the facts. I stand by my record. Governing is different than campaigning. We can stand strong and firm and don't move and say, ‘absolutely not,’ but we'll never get anywhere and we’ll never get anything done.

But Greg Abbott somehow wants Texans to believe Private schools with no state oversight, transparency or accountability are where taxpayer dollars should be spent? He keeps pushing an agenda Texans don't want.

I am honored to have the 2024 Moms Demand Action Gun Sense Candidate distinction. I worked with Moms Demand Action and the families of the Uvalde victims to pass meaningful gun reforms. We fought back against the NRA because we want to keep our families safe.

I, along with 8 other State Representatives, requested a public hearing about our serious concerns with Houston ISD. We cannot vote on who represents us on the school board, so we as state representatives must hold the board accountable. I look forward to learning the truth.
