Take a moment to find the townhall that works for your schedule and mark it in your calendar. I look forward to seeing you there.

Join me at one of the five upcoming town hall meetings scheduled for next week. We will discuss redistricting, women’s reproductive rights, private school vouchers, high cost of living, and other issues of concern to our community.

Thank you to everyone who came out to strengthen relationships between residents and community leaders. Together, we continue to build a stronger and safer community for our neighbors and families.

Yesterday, I had a great time connecting with neighbors across House District 114 during National Night Out. National Night Out is an annual community building gathering of entire neighborhoods, including first responders interacting with the people they serve.

The investigation and the threat of firing educators over political views not expressed in the classroom or while on duty are politically motivated censorship that attack the First Amendment rights of every teacher in this state.

Mike Morath, as directed by Governor Abbott, is using the Texas Education Agency to investigate teachers’ personal social media accounts to take disciplinary action against educators who’ve expressed personal political views 𝒐𝒖𝒕𝒔𝒊𝒅𝒆 𝒐𝒇 𝒕𝒉𝒆 𝒄𝒍𝒂𝒔𝒔𝒓𝒐𝒐𝒎 𝒅𝒖𝒓𝒊𝒏𝒈 𝒕𝒉𝒆𝒊𝒓 𝒑𝒆𝒓𝒔𝒐𝒏𝒂𝒍 𝒕𝒊𝒎𝒆.

"And let us consider how to stir up one another to love and good works, not neglecting to meet together, as is the habit of some, but encouraging one another, and all the more as you see the day drawing near." - Hebrews 10:24-25

With all the hateful redric the Republican Party is pushing under Trumps leadership it was reassuring to be in a room filled with warm and welcoming members.

Thank you Victoria Ross-Powers and Wayne Meachum for having me as this week’s guest speaker for Royal Lane Baptist Churches Lunch & Learn on bridging political division.

Shana Tova! Wishing you a new year filled with peace, health, and joy.

Yesterday, I had the honor of attending the Dallas AFL-CIO annual Labor Day celebration. It was a powerful reminder of the importance of the labor movement and of the critical work being done by our local leaders to secure good jobs and fair pay.
Happy Labor Day!

Texas Democrats broke quorum because doing nothing wasn’t an option. Abbott says he’ll remove us from our seats. Well I say, come and take them.

If you wish to have your voice heard during one of the three upcoming congressional redistricting hearings you can do it by testifying the day of the hearing or by submitting public comments at comments.house.texas.gov/home?c=c055.

President Trump is demanding Texas legislators to redraw congressional maps mid-decade to secure five more seats by racially splitting districts to weaken their voting ability. This is a gross misuse of power, and we must not remain silent.

Republicans have either forgotten or are ignoring the foundational principles of our country—government by the people and for the people. Redistricting after each census ensures fair and equal representation.

Every moment spent on partisan redistricting delays real help for flood victims. Governor Abbott must fulfill his duty to all Texans and remove all topics except flood relief and recovery from the special session call.

Over a hundred family members are still unaccounted for from the Fourth of July flood. Instead of prioritizing flood recovery and future prevention, Republican leaders are focusing their energy on supporting Trump's power grab.

Henderson County Democrats work to uplift rural voices, champion Democratic values, and ensure equal opportunity for all through grassroots advocacy and legislative accountability.

Thank you Henderson County Texas Democrats for inviting me to speak at your 2025 Quarter 2 Luncheon.

Today marks 10 years of marriage equality. A significant milestone in civil rights, and one we look forward to building on in the years ahead. But that progress is under threat, as Republican leaders continue pushing efforts to roll back these hard-won protections. Equality isn’t negotiable.

Forcing one specific religious text into classrooms is not education, it’s indoctrination. It violates the US Constitution which forbids the government from using tax dollars to promote a religion. Public schools are for all children, regardless of faith or background.

#txeducation #10commandments

Our Founding Fathers experienced first hand what it was like to live in a country with no religious liberty. In England the king was head of the state church and there was no religious freedom. Our founders fought to ensure religious freedom for us today.

If Republicans’ goal was for Texas children to engage in American history, they’d fully fund our schools, give students opportunities to participate in civic activities, and encourage them to vote. They would not violate the separation of church and state adopted by the Founding Fathers.

The Ten Commandments will now be required in every public school classroom under a new law passed by Republican lawmakers. Supporters claim this is about teaching children the history of our state and nation, but the irony is stunning.

Your efforts help ensure our community has safe, beautiful, and accessible green spaces for families, kids, and neighbors to enjoy for generations to come.

Thank you to @Friends of Willis Winters Park and our Dallas Parks Board member Rudy Karimi for your vision land determination in turning our park into one of the jewels of our city parks.

These zoning changes aren’t just real estate projects, they’re decisions that affect air quality, traffic, safety, and the overall character of a community, which in fact can make an area less suitable for housing.

What it does is weaken the community’s voice and make it significantly harder for residents to push back against harm to their neighborhoods, whether that’s a factory, a landfill, or other industrial uses.
