129 Years Strong! 🤠 The Fort Worth Stock Show & Rodeo is more than a tradition — it’s Texas history in motion. I made my first visit with new General Manager & President Matt Carter, and I’m excited to see the team honoring the legacy while pushing forward with big growth,

This morning, I stood with Kennedale’s leaders and neighbors at the city’s 9/11 Memorial to mark the 24th anniversary of that tragic day. This memorial—built around a steel beam from the World Trade Center—honors the lives lost and the strength that carried our nation forward.

More jail deaths. Two in August. But still no updates. Why? Because the Sheriff refused to show up at the Commissioners Court. Instead, he sent a cowardly email — and tried to paint me as “hostile” and “uncivil” to excuse his no-show. Let’s be clear: I don’t yell, scream, or

Labor built this country. 💪🏾 In Tarrant County, working families are under attack by my colleagues on the commissioners court — redistricting, the loss of rental assistance, and over 100 polling places gone. I’ll keep fighting to make sure workers’ voices are heard.

Started Hunger Action Month with the @TAFoodBank, where President & CEO Julie Butner shared the state of hunger in our community. Too many families still struggle to put food on the table. More than 512,000 of our neighbors across TAFB’s service area are facing food insecurity.

A new era of care has arrived in Southeast Tarrant County! I joined Medical City Arlington this week to celebrate the grand opening of their Specialty Surgery Patient Tower and expanded ORs. This investment brings more beds, modern facilities, and greater access to quality

Judge O’Hare tried to silence me. He can’t silence you. Yesterday, Republicans voted 3-2 to gut 100+ polling places and slash early voting, hitting Black, Hispanic, senior, and student communities the hardest. Let’s be clear: I won’t be quiet while they make it harder to vote.

🚧 Heads up, y’all: If you’re driving westbound on I-30 through Arlington/Fort Worth the weekend of Aug. 22–25, you’re going to hit a major detour. Crews are doing an emergency bridge repair at Randol Mill Rd, so westbound I-30 will be closed between Fielder Rd and Eastchase

We had a full house in Fort Worth today with @BetoORourke, @NicoleCollier95, @GeneforTexas, @RepVeasey, and @JoaquinCastrotx! Trump’s crew thinks they can rig the maps, erase our elected representatives, and minority voting strength. Nah. We’re standing with our Texas Dems.
