I always enjoy meeting students and staff at Straus Middle School in Northside ISD. Great to witness the leadership of Dr. Craft and Dana Gilbert-Perry as well. Thank you, Mavericks, for hosting me this morning as part of Career Day.

Thank you to Texas public schools for your work during Holocaust Remembrance Week. As this piece notes, 'For many students, the Holocaust seems like ancient history, so it’s vital that educators connect it to today’s events.'  dallasnews.com/opinion/commen…

Dr. Martin Luther King, Jr. said, 'You can't solve a problem with anger or hatred. It takes empathy, patience and compassion to overcome anger, hatred and resentment.” His words continue to guide and inspire today.

Today a bipartisan majority in the Texas House stood firm in the House’s longtime, consistent support of public schools and made one thing clear: It is time to focus on strengthening the public schools educating more than 5 million Texas students.

Thank you Rep. Kay Granger for your exceptional, historic service. Rep. Granger has been a trailblazing public servant as the first woman Mayor of Fort Worth and first Republican woman from Texas in the U.S. House. Her principled approach to leadership has delivered real results.

Today is the fifth anniversary of the murders at the Tree of Life Synagogue. A day to remember the victims, pray for their families and continue working toward the cause of ending bigotry and hatred.

Thank you to the individuals and the families who paid the ultimate price for our country. We honor their sacrifice, heroism and service on this Memorial Day and we give thanks for all who put themselves in harm's way for a purpose larger than any of us.
