School choice is aptly named-parents don’t choose – the school chooses/rejects your kid based on attendance, discipline, passing grades, no transportation, free lunch needs, physical, emotional or cognitive disabilities, & alignment with their view on faith & LGBTQ. #getreal

Ten years ago @RonforTexas @leachfortexas @VoteGiovanni and I were all freshmen Texas House members who didn’t know one another. Tonight we were together to celebrate Gio’s 50th birthday. Best part of this job is the people you meet, including lifelong friends. #txlege

I’d like to submit for your humble consideration Charles Butt & Mattress Mac as worthy candidates for the ERCOT board. They bring tremendous leadership, sharp business acuity, & a moral compass based on integrity. ERCOT could benefit from these characteristics.

Hotels jacking up your prices- we see you. After the unethical madness we witnessed during Hurricane Harvey we passed #HB1152, which makes price gouging of *lodging* (among other things) illegal. If you guys see this happening report it. Tell your reps. It's not OK. #txlege

Large numbers of the #TxLege and #TxEd (educators & parents) are all in agreement that #STAAR, & in particular STAAR accountability, is not a helpful or appropriate part of the 20/21 school year. Thank you

Happy to see such a large, bipartisan group of #txlege state representatives agreeing that high-stakes testing is not what #txed educators & students need this year amid all other #COVID-19 challenges. Thank you to @DiegoBernalTX & all who signed this letter. twitter.com/DiegoBernalTX/…

Yesterday, I pre-filed SB 177, which will allow for the continued and permanent use of Individual Graduation Committees. Almost 59,000 students have benefited greatly from IGCs since my legislation created them in 2015 and it is time to make IGCs permanent! #txed #txlege
