I am extremely disappointed that the motion to censure the democrats that fled the state has failed. I voted to censure! 27 of my GOP colleagues chose to not hold them accountable in this way. The vote was 44 to 27. It needed 47 votes to pass, which is a 2/3rds vote. #txlege

At 4:20am this morning, a 232-page rules package (HR4) dropped into my email. This last minute “Pelosi-style”rules package had one goal: create a new path of power for Democrats while placating the grassroots with “no Democrats chairs”. Pages 67-69 clearly redefine the power

I will always stand up against the atrocities inflicted upon my constituents. What Colony Ridge did in my district should not be allowed to expand across the Great State of Texas. #NoMoreColonyRidge

WOW... State Rep. @JanisHolt59 is going after HB 4166, which would seem to replicate Colony Ridges around the state. Worth noting: Holt beat an incumbent in 2024 because of her strong stance against Colony Ridge, which is in her district.

Phelan/Burrows employed the Biden/Harris switcheroo strategy and it failed… just like it did for Kamala. @DavidCookTexas , like Trump, has won the House GOP Caucus vote and is the only legitimate Republican candidate for Speaker. #txlege

I will never walk out on the people of Texas. I will show up with integrity every day to get the job done. Dustin Burrows walked out on the Caucus Nominee election to avoid a vote that he expected to lose. What kind of leader do you want? #txlege

Ivermectin should be legal to buy over the counter and I filed a bill today to authorize that. HB3175 needs your support to help make that happen. We need all hands on deck in one form or another to get this passed and signed in to law. Please reach out to your State

Texans need REAL property tax relief. My colleagues and I are grateful for all of the fantastic legislation passed during this special session and respectfully ask Governor @GregAbbott_TX to call us back to address this critical issue. #txlege

Texans. We tried. We were not given the opportunity to punish the democrats.

The following Republicans signed a motion in support of censure of the Democrats who broke quorum with the penalties listed at the top of the motion. Rep Hayes, the author of the motion just tried to introduce the motion to the body but unfortunately the Speaker of the House

Did your Republican representative vote for censure measures to punish quorum-breaking Democrats? If they did, they need to sign on to Rep Hayes’ resolution to do just that. Call your TX state representative and ask them to sign on! #txlege

My friend and fellow representative, @olcott4texas is exactly correct. The Texas taxpayers deserve better. I voted NO on this bloated budget.

My friend & colleague @olcott4texas said it best… “I cannot go back to my district with a $24 Billion surplus, and say this is as much property tax relief that we can do…” Tonight I voted NO on the budget.

There are 437 bills on today’s calendar. We started today at 10:00am. It’s 2:13pm and we have only heard 47 bills. Currently, the Dems are chubbing on the “What is a Woman?” bill. This is how the Republicans lose.

In one week from now, I will be sworn in as the first woman State Representative from HD18, and I’ll be waiting to take my first vote… that of Speaker of the House. On December 7, 2024, I watched many of my Republican colleagues walk out of a duly called GOP Caucus meeting when

It was an honor to stand with my friend, @joannefortexans, and ask some friendly questions as she passed HB 25 to allow for over-the-counter Ivermectin sales, today. #MAHA
