What a great honor to receive an award named for my friend Oscar Mauzy. Thank you to the TX Democratic Women for such an incredible recognition, and for the opportunity to address members at your convention in Austin, TX.

Grateful for the dedicated vols, precinct chairs & my friend John Bryant who braved chilly grey weather for our morning canvass today. Special thanks to White Rock Alehouse & Brewery for hosting us & letting me try the American Pale Ale I brewed w/you last month 👟🍻💪 #TX32 #imwithjulie

We proudly present the #txpta Champion for Children award to these members of the TX House for showing unmatched courage in safeguarding our public schools & keeping tax money where it belongs. TY for being champions for children & ensuring their potential is a reality! (🧵1/6)

I just wanted to take a moment to wish all of you a happy holiday season, and to show off the official HD114 tree ornament designed by extremely talented visual art teachers at Bryan Adams High School. Such amazing talent here in the 114th district!

What gets lost in this mess is b/c the governor made boosting public school funding conditional on passing vouchers, when he tried to play hardball with the House & lost, Texas public schools missed out on *$7 billion* that had support to pass on its own.

Today, a bipartisan majority in the Texas House DEFEATED Greg Abbott’s voucher scam — once and for all.

Abbott and his billionaire mega-donors tried and failed to sell out our kids.

Now, it’s time to fully fund our public schools.

John Bryant stands strong as the voice of reason by offering an amendment requiring Abbott to study whether or not border walls are effective in reducing the # of unlawful crossings. This ensures responsible use of taxpayer $$ & seeks to achieve effective border security.

Wow: John Bryant points out $1.5B for #borderfence could fund 15 rural hospitals in counties w/out hospitals. #txlege #Priorities

We defeated Abbott’s voucher scam — again.

I’m proud of the bipartisan, pro-public school majority that stood up to Abbott and his billionaire mega-donors.

This is a victory for our kids.

.Greg Abbott told the legislature to investigate Colony Ridge for bad hombres. That turned out to be a lie. Abbott also said to give his office $1.5 billion for a wall, but no one has any data or studies that say it would be effective. #txlege

Instead of the #txlege spending our hard-earned tax-dollars on welfare for the well-off through a private school voucher scam, we should invest in ALL students and FULLY FUND our local schools.

Our children deserve nothing less. Here’s our plan:

Vouchers are a scam that threaten everything we love about our public schools.

We must all come together—Democrats and Republicans, parents and teachers, rural Texans and urban Texans—to protect our neighborhood schools. #txlege #txed

When vouchers come in, Friday night lights go out. #txed #txlege

National Night Out last night was a great success promoting safer/stronger communities all around east Dallas! Thank you to all of the neighborhood groups I joined yesterday— it’s fantastic to represent such a tight-knit community w/ neighbors invested in community success.

It was a great time this weekend supporting Julie Johnson for Congress in her bid for congress in Casa Linda. She spoke about working as a team to protect democracy, defend retired teachers, & train a workforce of tomorrow. I’m glad to be her friend, & proud to support her.

Reminder: Tomorrow, our office is hosting a Public Education Town Hall from 6:00 PM to 7:30 PM at Rosemont Lower Elementary School. Live Spanish translation will be available. We look forward to seeing you there!

At #TribFest23 alongside my colleagues, Texas House Democrats Chair TMF and State Rep. John Bryant. We had a lively conversation about all things #txlege !

Switching parties? I didn’t know he was a Democrat.

“In an unprecedented violation of God’s law of religious liberty, and the American doctrine of the separation of church and state, Greg Abbott this afternoon called on ministers and pastors to politicize God’s pulpit to push his private school voucher program.”
