In a post-pandemic world, we learned virtual ed is not going away. The Commission’s unanimous support signals to the #txlege that virtual options are vital to supporting our schools & expanding opportunities in rural areas. We look forward to passing these recs in session! #txed

As we work to improve care for moms in our state, a top priority for the Texas House this coming session will be to extend postpartum health coverage to 12 months. #txlege

Thanks to the @friedkingroup/Gulf States Toyota for including me in their fireside chat yesterday. We had a great discussion about issues expected to come up in the 88th #txlege - we are just a little over a month away now!

Georgia is a great example of the difference candidate quality makes: Governor: R+8 Lt. Governor: R+5 Sec. of State: R+9 Attorney General: R+5 Ag. Commissioner: R+8 In. Commissioner: R+8 State School Superintendent: R+8 Commissioner of Labor: R+7 Senate: On track for D+2-4

The RNC is probably going to pay some ridiculous amount of money to some firm to do a post-election autopsy on what went wrong this year. Nominate terrible candidates across the country. Lose winnable races. I’ll forward my invoice to you tomorrow,

It is unfortunate & undeniable. If you are a Republican, this is just another wasted DC opportunity. Thankfully the House Republicans in the #txlege grew our majority - because having the best candidate actually matters. Perhaps DC should focus on our successes & follow our lead.

I, along with 90+ of my #txlege House colleagues, wrote to Texas' congressional delegation this week in support of a permanent fix for the PSF. We urge Congress to pass H.R. 9044 by

Guarantee of #school district bonds by the Permanent School Fund could end soon, as an IRS limit is closer. That would lead to increased interest rates on re-payment of bonds passed by school districts. The @TexasTribune explains: ow.ly/uAbh50LVh5T #txed #txlege

Can’t believe this was a decade ago tonight! Praying for all the new incoming reps as they begin orientation. Especially my new rep, @NateSchatzline. Hoping he keeps the #1 ping pong ball in HD 93! 🙂 Thanks again for the photo @GovernorPerry! Seems like yesterday.

It was great to welcome the Texas House’s freshman class to our Capitol this morning. New member orientation is this week and everyone is ready to get to work this January. There are 42 days until the 88th Legislature begins … But who’s counting? #txlege

Healthy moms mean healthy families. Texas now gets to show the nation what it means to be truly pro-life by funding maternal health initiatives, increasing resources for pregnant women and new mothers, and increasing access to prenatal health care.

This will generate an economic impact of ~$50B & create over 500 jobs & 4,500 construction jobs in our area. They could not have picked a better location, as Orange Co boasts a wealth of skilled workers & resources that have put us on an incredible growth trajectory in recent yrs

Great news for Orange Co & the Golden Triangle. This is just one example of the job-creating projects we can bring to TX if we invest in programs that attract businesses to move to or expand here, & I look forward to supporting those measures this #txlege.

We will not keep communities safe by defunding the police. I am committed to supporting law enforcement at the state level to ensure every Texas neighborhood is safe and protected.
