I live where 1/3 of Registered Voters did not vote in 2024 General Election. I thank those who voted. Hoping to encourage the voters from 2024 election that voted for democracy to vote in 2025 and beyond.

Extending the Affordable Care Act tax credits for the next year will cost $23 billion.

Donald Trump was happy to round up $20 billion to bail out Argentina, but Republicans won’t lift a finger to help American families who are struggling to pay for health care.

What Texans deserve is simple: A leader who will fight for them. I started my career as a public defender. So, to me, it doesn’t matter if you’re red, white, or blue, send me to the Senate and you can trust that I will fight for you. I’m fighting for us.

BREAKING: We filed a class action lawsuit to stop all Texas public schools from displaying the Ten Commandments in their classrooms.

Judges have blocked our prior plaintiffs' schools from enforcing a Texas law mandating these unconstitutional displays. We're asking the courts to block it statewide.

Happy Thanksgiving, TX-30!

I’m truly grateful for the honor of serving as your Congresswoman, and I don’t take lightly that you’ve entrusted me to show up and fight for you every single day.

Wishing you and your families peace, love, and plenty of good food today.

My bipartisan IRS MATH Act with Senator Bill Cassidy is now law.

Now, if you mess up your taxes, the IRS has to tell you where you made a mistake and how to fix it.

No more spending a fortune on lawyers or hours to find errors.

That means fewer headaches and more money in your pocket.
