Many of my Republican colleagues are ready to pass strong, conservative legislation coming over from the Senate. Unfortunately, these bills are being slow-walked while Democrat bills take priority. #txlege

Drag queens, porn in libraries and surgeons that will mutilate a child’s genitals are a much bigger threat to kids’ health than social media.

Protecting Texas farms and ranches ensures Texans have access to safe and high-quality food. I'm proud to work with the Texas Farm Bureau and to have earned the AGFUND endorsement in this election. Together, we will keep working to ensure Texas food is on Texas plates.

It’s past time to reform the @TexasHouse . I’m one of a growing group of conservative legislators who have signed the @ContractWithTX advocating that we shift power away from the Speaker’s office and back to the People, where it belongs. Part of that includes having a Speaker

Democrat Ann Johnson accurately explains the dynamics of the Austin Swamp. The only way to get your Republican legislator to do the right thing and act like a Republican is to apply political pressure through media and ultimately primary elections. Texans deserve better.

Ann Johnson loses it over the fact that Texas is moving to the right every year. Every session. The grassroots continue to move us to the right. They aren't finished. She says the quiet part out loud when saying her GOP colleagues do the least they can each session. #txlege

We must stop the impeachment process from being weaponized. I will not let the Texas House off the hook for their unprecedented misuse of the process, and their rush to judgement based upon hearsay. The House voted without a fair and credible process and that should never happen

Thank you AG Paxton! This will definitely harm the caucus, not us! @JaredLPatterson seems to be pushing this the hardest for @DadePhelan ! Jared cares more about Dade being his speaker and appointing democrat chairs than he does uniting the party and the caucus.

My constituents told me to vote no on the $1.3 billion VW project ($400 million of which is taxpayer cash). But the swamp wants me to ignore those “back home.” I’ll always listen to my constituents far more than lobbyists, big corps, other legislators, or unelected bureaucrats.

Today, the House finally passes a property tax relief package. These bills will deliver noticeable short-term relief but will do nothing to set us on the path to property tax elimination and contain less relief than was contemplated during the regular session. 1/3
