I am SO incredibly proud of our team. Thank you to each and every one of these absolute patriots for all the hard work over many months.
And thank you to so many more who aren't in this photo who gave their time and treasure for #HD64.
Conservatives are done allowing dems to run the Texas House. Today patriots are standing together to declare that if @TexasGOP priorities aren't to be prioritized or passed, that local & consent will no longer be mindlessly passed.
Unaffordable property taxes are the #1 issue in my district (and likely in most others). Texans have repeatedly been promised a path to elimination, and the legislature needs to deliver.
Let's get to work.
Property taxes are on the special session agenda beginning tomorrow:
- Legislation to cut property taxes.
- Legislation to limit spending by government entities that impose property taxes.
Today, I stood shoulder to shoulder with my fellow Republican patriots to demand that the Speaker start bringing Republican priorities, like securing our elections, to the floor for a vote.
We must secure our elections to continue to have a government that works for Texans.
Ends do not justify the means. Principle trumps outcome. If your TX Rep comes home to tell you that they were just "picking the winner" so that they could pass bills, you need a new rep.
Today, such men allowed Dems to pick your Speaker. Weak men make for hard times. #txlege
Texas is a red state. Republicans should run the Texas House.
Texans have no sympathy for those who collude with democrats to betray our ideals. #txlege
The attempts of the Austin uniparty to hi-jack the will of Texas Republican voters must be thwarted. We conservatives shall fight to the end to ensure that the Texas House has the reform-minded Speaker that you deserve. #txlege#ReformTheTexasHouse
Source at #TxLege Capitol: @DadePhelan has acknowledged to his remaining allies that he's done. Bickering over who will replace him. Dustin Burrows thinks he can do it.
Today, 31 Republican House Reps signed a letter asking @GregAbbott_TX to call a 3rd Special Session in order to consider redistricting the Texas House of Representatives.
Do you think its a coincidence that literally hours after I filed an amendment to the House Budget depriving @UTAustin of funding because of their DEI curriculum, that they issued a policy change no longer requiring such classes for students?
