It is the constitutional obligation of the Texas Legislature to adequately provide for a system of public free schools.

The @TxDPS Mounted Border Patrol Unit has a nice ring to it.
If Biden fires the Border Patrol Officers who were securing the border on horseback, Texas will offer them a job. They can bring their horses too. We will put them on the front line to do Biden's job to secure the border.

Biden’s Border Breakdown.
As Biden continues to create chaos, Texas has taken the lead on securing the border, not just for border communities, but for communities across Texas & the U.S. We will continue surging state resources to save lives & keep Texans safe. Time for Biden to up his game.

I'm proud of our Texas Governor. Together, as Republicans and all other Texans who are fed up with Bidenflation, crime and the border crisis - will we all elect @GregAbbott_TX handily again.
I'm running for re-election to keep Texas #1, cut your property taxes, create jobs, secure the border, keep dangerous criminals behind bars, & get deadly Fentanyl off our streets. Together, we will keep Texas #1!. #TXGovDebate

Thank you @GregAbbott_TX for LEADING like Republicans should. Helping @stevefortx, @AngieChenButton, @leachfortexas, @MattShaheen, @MorganMeyerTX, @reptinderholt, @RepMattKrause, @GoldmanCraig is the RIGHT way to lead in today’s political environment and I commend you sir!.
Today @GregAbbott_TX is knocking doors in San Antonio with State Representative @stevefortx. Texans in #HD121 should head to the polls on Tuesday, November 3rd to re-elect Rep. Steve Allison to the House! ✅. Thanks @DonnaCampbellTX for joining our efforts to #KeepTexasRed.

President Trump lost all control a long time ago. This comment proves why he is no longer electable, is out of touch and is not a true Statesman. He {continually} disappoints our state and country. Such a waste of opportunity. I cannot support this man again. And won’t.
Former Pres. Trump takes a shot at Texas Gov. Greg Abbott for not attending the NRA event:. "Unlike some, I didn’t disappoint you by not showing up. Gotta show up.".

The GOP wins/gains in Texas and Virginia last evening are just a taste of the appetite of the people of our country to put more Republicans in control of the government. Biden’s failed presidency and policies are crippling our economy - and it’s only been 11 months.

In less than 140 Days, @CarlTepper is already more effective as a House member than Rinaldi—whom I served with for 2 sessions; who pleaded for my endorsement of his reelection. Texas should heed the implications of the demise of our ‘official’ party leadership as it stands today.
@CarlTepper I just learned you were in the Texas House when I read your bio.

Austin is not a place to come and violently protest. It won’t be tolerated. We understand everything. No arguments there. You will not deface the city, our monuments, statues, buildings, people or property. We will use the full force of law to stop it.

Andrew Murr's unwavering statesmanship, courage, and commitment to Texas have been an inspiration throughout my time in the House. I'm grateful for his friendship and leadership. His resolve for integrity and his legacy of service set a high bar for us all. Texas truly needs more.

You know what we haven’t forgotten? . Summer of 2021. 87(1), 87(2), 87(3). That was a lot of days. Texans across the state are FED up with drugs, smuggling, fentanyl deaths and the crime from illegal entry. It’s rich coming from you to hear about cowardice. Not wanting to.
What cowards we have on the other side of the aisle. They can’t even allow full and fair debate over their trash bills. They are silencing the voice of Texans across the state who chose US to represent them at the #TXLege. TEXAS CANNOT FORGET THIS DAY.

@TrueTexasTea @KenPaxtonTX @TexasGOP Nobody (in real TX politics) cares about the SREC or its chair. It’s a defunct organization and needs a total re-haul from the top down. Local parties are AWOL. It’s a mess. The good news is that they are all irrelevant and have no local/state respect. We can win without them.

That’s why I passed the Second Amendment Sanctuary State Act. With bipartisan support. Beto should thumb through the new laws.

This. Thank you for your leadership Mayor.
Someone asked why I chose to endorse a candidate now when I have not in the past. It's probably best to start with why I usually don't endorse. I believe one's vote is a private matter in general. In addition, on City Council it could be a bit awkward to endorse one candidate,.

I pray for the USA today. Our outgoing and our incoming POTUS. We should support/respect the office. I hope to see more messages of unity and less disparaging remarks about 45/46. It’s counterintuitive to the spirit of all the MLK quotes on Monday. You can’t have it both ways. 🇺🇸.

Today marks a decade in public service for me. 10 years ago I was elected to the council and it has been a wonderful experience to serve my city and state. Pictured w/ my dad and his siblings at our victory party. Dad saw me sworn in before we lost him a few months later.

George HW Bush was a kind and decent man. I like that he cared about details like a hand-written notes to friends, colleagues and even - political enemies. Decency is something we ALL should strive to have more of. We need it right now.

My father would have been 60 today. I miss him often—wish we would have had the chance to make more memories and run the family business together. He'd be proud of his grandkids and the success of his company. If you have your parents, call them and tell them you love them.
