July 4th is not just a celebration, but a crucial reaffirmation of our ongoing fight for liberty and justice for all. We are committed to continually striving to ensure basic rights for every Texan. Happy Independence Day, Texas.

While we may disagree, we are not enemies. We are neighbors, friends, co-workers, citizens, and – most importantly – we are fellow Americans. We must stand together.

As Chair of the Texas House Democratic Caucus, representing nearly 13 million Texans, we are proud to be among the first state delegations to endorse Kamala Harris as the next President of the United States. Let's win this. #Kamala2024

I’m honored to welcome President Biden to Texas! As we commemorate the 60th anniversary of the Civil Rights Act, I’m grateful for President Biden’s commitment to equality for all Americans. Together, we can fight for a better future.

Welcome to Austin, President Joe Biden! Let's get to work. 🇺🇸

On the 60th Anniversary of the Civil Rights Act signed by Texan LBJ, POTUS Joe Biden at @LBJSchool reminded us of sacrifice and honoring those that fought so hard for equal opportunities under the law. We still must ensure those rights are secured. #txlege The White House

Baby’s first presidential address. And it was a heckuva an address y’all! President Biden came out swinging for court reform, talking about the No One’s Above the Law Amendment and term limits and a binding code of ethics for the Supreme Court!

So honored to welcome the 46th President Biden Joe Biden to Austin where he provided the keynote for the LBJ Foundation 60th anniversary of the Civil Rights Act. Thank you, Mr. President for your lifetime of service to our United States of America! #txlege

What an honor to be at LBJ Library today as President Joe Biden delivered a historic address to commemorate the 60th anniversary of LBJ’s Civil Rights Act + call for needed #SCOTUS reforms & banning presidential immunity for crimes in office. Proud of our president! #txlege

Yesterday morning, I joined colleagues at City Hall to offer condolences to Congresswoman Sheila Jackson Lee's family. I then traveled to Austin for the 60th anniversary of the Civil Rights Act, where President Biden spoke at the LBJ Presidential Library and unveiled a bold plan

Retired state employees deserve a raise! After a lifetime of service to Texas, our retirees shouldn’t choose between keeping a roof over their head and affording the medical care they need. I look forward to working with TSEU to get this done!

Adiós. #txlege
