VICTORY: A federal court just BLOCKED Texas’ anti-immigrant law #SB4 from taking effect March 5. This is a win for Texas values, human rights, and the Constitution. The State could try to appeal today’s decision — but we’re not backing down.


Watch @AHouseElPaso press conference below #txlege

WATCH: Ruben Garcia with the Annunciation House is giving a press conference after Texas AG filed a lawsuit against the shelter. Watch here: bit.ly/3UMezdC



This investigation, and now lawsuit, by @KenPaxtonTX is yet another effort to politicize human beings seeking safety and a better life. @AHouseElPaso has been a critical humanitarian non-profit and community partner that embodies the spirit of El Paso #txlege

Today, our hearts break for the pain Kate Cox & her family have had to endure b/c of the cruel laws of this state. No one should have to go to such lengths to do what is best for their future & life. Please see my joint statement w/ @CarolforTexas below. #txlege

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. #txlege

A bipartisan majority in the Texas House has defeated vouchers — twice. We’ll do it again. Don’t mess with Texas public schools. #txlege

The Legislature has no role in enforcing immigration laws and it is shameful that the House repeatedly targets immigrant communities for political gain. #txlege

Late last night I offered an amendment to HB4 to protect civil rights. The House rejected nearly all attempts by @TexasHDC to improve this harmful bill. #txlege


Texans deserve access to essential health services. We call on Governor Abbott and General Paxton to act NOW and DROP the baseless lawsuit against Planned Parenthood. Patients in Texas deserve better. See the letter I signed here: bit.ly/openletterFCA #TexansNeedPP


I'm proud to co-author the Fully Fund Our Future Act. Instead of spending our hard-earned tax-dollars on welfare for the wealthy through a private school voucher scam, we should invest in ALL students and FULLY FUND our local schools. Our children deserve nothing less #txlege

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

I voted in support of the state budget but acknowledge we need to do more for teachers and students in Texas public schools. #txlege
