Today, the movement to defund our neighborhood public schools moved ahead.

I spoke against SB 2 on the Senate Floor today and will keep fighting for Texas to fulfill its constitutional duty to fully fund our schools. #txlege

Attacks on the LGBTQ+ community aren't new this Session, but we must remain vigilant against Republican attempts to control & intrude on our private spaces & personal choices.

Earlier this week, I offered an amendment to SB 24 proposing that, if we’re going to require teachers to educate on the “horrors of communism,” we should also include the horrors of other authoritarian ideologies—like fascism. #txlege

My statement on SB 10 in the Senate tonight.

Texans want the separation of church and state, as our founders intended, not a state religion crammed down their throat. #txlege
