School Finance Reform & Property Tax Reform definitely will be top priorities. We will also begin dismantling the flawed Robin Hood scheme that has failed our schools.

No, Gov. Abbott. The state leadership, including yourself, that is openly hostile to public education, that confiscates local tax dollars and starves schools, that demeans and demoralizes devoted teachers and support staff... that’s the REAL disaster.

There’s so much misinformation about my property tax reform. Contrary to this headline the reform REQUIRES the state to provide more school funding. Additionally our school finance reform adds school funding to improve student success.

Horrific crimes like this is why Texas passed a ban on sanctuary city policies. We don’t want Texas to become a sanctuary for illegal immigrants like California. We insist on working with ICE to enforce the law & keep Texans safe.

The state’s portion of public school funding has decreased while Texas taxpayers have picked up the slack. It’s time for the state to pay its fair share. Send a message to lawmakers today! http://bit.ly/2UYRseF

Absolutely, that’s why I filed HB460 which allows the dispensing of certain drugs by physicians. This is one of several healthcare reforms I will be working on to increase access and lower costs.

While we're grateful to the Governor for shining a light on his failed education policies, the real work is to build the movement to support our students, teachers and parents. We'll be doing that tomorrow and you should join us.

I kept asking, but no one had an answer for me. So I did some homework to figure out what the Governor’s 2.5% tax revenue cap could cost Texas ($30 billion over 10 years for just schools) and I wrote something about it. Give it a read.
