I’m Angela Hernandez, and I’m honored to be Congressman Sylvester Turner’s guest for President Trump’s Joint Address to Congress.

I am here to advocate for essential Medicaid services for my two-year-old daughter, Baislee, who is bravely facing a rare genetic disorder.

Tonight, I spoke with

Last week, I reintroduced the Due Process Continuity of Care Act, a bipartisan bill ensuring individuals in pretrial detention retain Medicaid access, addressing unjust gaps in healthcare coverage and reducing burdens on local governments.

On the floor this week, I spoke about a federal scientist fired by President Trump and Elon Musk. He said, “I have a PhD in biomedical engineering... Please protect these agencies.”

In my district, the University of Houston faces frozen grants, creating uncertainty in cancer research. @uh.edu

Addressing the cancer cluster and UPRR contamination in the 18th District is a top priority. I met with EPA Region 6 Administrator Scott Mason to demand swift action to protect our families and businesses.

Thank you, @rodneyellis.bsky.social, for hosting this vital press conference.
