Friends, let’s be clear about this— Republicans are in control of the federal government and Texas government. The Republicans in power are not doing a thing to make life better for us. They are breaking their oaths! This November, we will defend our Democracy. We will vote!

If you are tired of rising prices, a war nobody asked for, and how hard life is right now, it’s time to vote out the people in charge. Republicans have been running Texas for 30 years. This November, vote for Democrats, up & down the ballot!

Just good enough? Not here, not as Americans. I want to work toward a country where everyone has a fair shot at the best… in education, in healthcare, in providing for our families, and in impacting our communities. #txlege

Today, we celebrate the unveiling of a new mural in Houston! Thank you to the six Taiwanese artists who made this mural a living exchange of culture. The message behind this mural rings especially true in houston’s Asiatown. Our diversity is our strength, and we’re proud to celebrate it!

A year ago, we broke quorum, to fight for Texans & spark a movement across the country. I am so proud of my Texas House Democrats colleagues. In the face of threats, fines, lawsuits, & more, we stood together. Now, on to November! #txlege

Thank you to the Boys & Girls Clubs for investing in the next generation of leaders and recognizing young people who are making a difference in our community. Today, recognized our constituent, Yancy Escobar as the Texas Youth of the Year. Her dedication to serving others is truly remarkable!

It was a pleasure to host Sara McGee in my home, surrounded by so many incredible community members. Sara is running to represent House District 132 and is committed to fighting for working-class Texans! Thank you to everyone who joined. With your support we can flip House District 132!

Tonight, I was proud to stand with so many Houstonians to demand a full, transparent, & independent investigation into the #ICE shooting of a beloved husband and father. His name is Lorenzo Salgado Araujo. We will not forget. #justiceforlorenzo #txlege

We are NOT going back. ✊ Not to Jim Crow. Not to segregation. Not to a South that worked for a few and left everyone else behind. The New Southern Strategy unites all of us - Black, Latino, Asian, white, Muslim, Jewish, every community - to fight for the future we deserve.

Republicans can't win a fair election. So they're rigging the maps. Trump directed Texas to gerrymander districts in 2025. Now it's spreading — Missouri, North Carolina, and more to come. This is a coordinated effort to steal the midterms before voters have their say.

It starts now. I grew up in Sharpstown. I’m running to keep representing this community. For renters. Neighborhood schools. Immigrant families. A democracy where voters choose their leaders - not the other way around. HD 137, let’s go.

Today, I partnered with The Harris Center for Mental Health and IDD to host a Legislature 101 workshop for families of kids with disabilities. Now more than ever, we must advocate for policies that put our most vulnerable communities first. Thank you to those who participated!

Thank you to The KICK Enterprise Club Podcast for the conversation today on the priorities Texans care about most: good jobs, quality healthcare, strong public schools, and a government that works for working class Texans. Let’s keep fighting for a better Texas for ALL.

Proud to be at the LA Capitol today with Dem leaders from across the South as we work to protect voting rights, fight for fair representation, and push back against attacks on our democracy. The fight for democracy doesn’t stop at state lines. Together, we’re stronger!

The #Republicans fined every quorum breaking Texas Democratic member more than $8,000 for standing up for Democracy. A few days ago, I signed a personal check to pay for these fines while speaking at an event. My colleagues & I made these sacrifices because we love America. #txlege

Democracy is precious, and priceless. The Texas House Dems will do whatever it takes to protect Democracy for all. The Republican fines are abhorrent. But we are willing to sacrifice for Democracy, now & always. Let’s go!! #txlege

Extremely grateful to Speaker Rivas for the welcome at the California Speaker’s Cup. I was honored to receive the Speaker’s Medal for Texas House Democratic Caucus’ work fighting Trump and Abbott’s redistricting scheme. Across the nation, Dems are not backing down, & our fight continues.

The Supreme Court just took apart the most important civil rights law of the last century, and Republican legislatures can crack and pack Black and Latino voters. We started a national fight when we broke quorum last year, now every state with the power to act must act! #txlege

We’ve got 241 days until #ElectionDay this November, and we need you to take action. Today, talk to your community and remind them to get registered to vote. Every conversation matters. We can win this!

The Texas DMV has adopted new ID requirements for vehicle registration. Applicants must now provide identification verifying legal presence in the U.S. Make sure you know which forms of ID meet the new requirements before registering your vehicle!

Proud to stand with our Senate nominee James Talarico! In our caucus, James led the fight to make Texas schools the best in the nation & lower the cost of living. The fight to flipping Texas will run through the State House, &we need you! Donate to the TX House Democratic Campaign Committee!!
