A year ago, we broke quorum, to fight for Texans & spark a movement across the country. I am so proud of my Texas House Democrats colleagues. In the face of threats, fines, lawsuits, & more, we stood together. Now, on to November! #txlege
This morning, I attended the Congressional @hispaniccaucus.bsky.social field hearing in the shooting of Lorenzo Salgado by an ICE agent. Thank you to our Reps. @sylviagarcia.house.gov @repfletcher.bsky.social @cdmenefee.bsky.social Rep. Al Green. We want #JusticeForLorenzo. #txlege
Thank you to the Boys & Girls Clubs for investing in the next generation of leaders and recognizing young people who are making a difference in our community. Today, recognized our constituent, Yancy Escobar as the Texas Youth of the Year. Her dedication to serving others is truly remarkable!
It was a pleasure to host Sara McGee in my home, surrounded by so many incredible community members. Sara is running to represent House District 132 and is committed to fighting for working-class Texans! Thank you to everyone who joined. With your support we can flip House District 132!
Tonight, I was proud to stand with so many Houstonians to demand a full, transparent, & independent investigation into the #ICE shooting of a beloved husband and father. His name is Lorenzo Salgado Araujo. We will not forget. #justiceforlorenzo #txlege
We are NOT going back. ✊ Not to Jim Crow. Not to segregation. Not to a South that worked for a few and left everyone else behind. The New Southern Strategy unites all of us - Black, Latino, Asian, white, Muslim, Jewish, every community - to fight for the future we deserve.
🚨 We have a crucial fundraising deadline tonight at midnight. Every dollar raised shows we are ready for November. I'm working to hit $8,000 by 11:59 PM — can you chip in $10? Chip in $10 before midnight! secure.actblue.com/donate/gw_ig
Republicans can't win a fair election. So they're rigging the maps. Trump directed Texas to gerrymander districts in 2025. Now it's spreading — Missouri, North Carolina, and more to come. This is a coordinated effort to steal the midterms before voters have their say.
Donald Trump & Greg Abbott did everything they could to get rid of Texas House members. But, it didn’t work. I’m still here, Gregory. @texasdemocrats.bsky.social are energized & ready to fight. Let’s go! #txlege
It starts now. I grew up in Sharpstown. I’m running to keep representing this community. For renters. Neighborhood schools. Immigrant families. A democracy where voters choose their leaders - not the other way around. HD 137, let’s go.
Today, I partnered with The Harris Center for Mental Health and IDD to host a Legislature 101 workshop for families of kids with disabilities. Now more than ever, we must advocate for policies that put our most vulnerable communities first. Thank you to those who participated!
Really enjoyed digging into crucial issues to save our #Democracy at @netrootsnation.bsky.social! I spoke on panels about redistricting, fighting fascism, & xenophobia. Great to connect with folks across the country & Texans who made it to the convention! #NR26 #NetrootsNation #txlege
Hey y’all! I’m at @netrootsnation.bsky.social ! #netrootsnation #nn26 in Philly! See you out there!
Thank you to The KICK Enterprise Club Podcast for the conversation today on the priorities Texans care about most: good jobs, quality healthcare, strong public schools, and a government that works for working class Texans. Let’s keep fighting for a better Texas for ALL.
Proud to be at the LA Capitol today with Dem leaders from across the South as we work to protect voting rights, fight for fair representation, and push back against attacks on our democracy. The fight for democracy doesn’t stop at state lines. Together, we’re stronger!
Today is @joshuarush.bsky.social last day as Texas House Dems. Comms Director. Countless media requests during Quorum Break, press releases, memos, social media, & even graphics. Josh is exceptional. Sad, but thrilled he’s joining @jamestalarico.bsky.social @teamtalaricohq.bsky.social! #txlege
Reflecting on the great turnout of #AAPI community leaders meeting with @jamestalarico.bsky.social Asian-Americans are crucial to the vitality of Texas. This is our home, our community, our family. Our voices matter. Let’s go! #txlege
It was great to welcome @jamestalarico.bsky.social to Houston today. I greatly appreciate Talarico for hosting an #AAPI listening session. Asian Americans need a fighter in the Senate. Let’s go! #txlege
Democracy is precious, and priceless. The Texas House Dems will do whatever it takes to protect Democracy for all. The Republican fines are abhorrent. But we are willing to sacrifice for Democracy, now & always. Let’s go!! #txlege
The #Republicans fined every quorum breaking Texas Democratic member more than $8,000 for standing up for Democracy. A few days ago, I signed a personal check to pay for these fines while speaking at an event. My colleagues & I made these sacrifices because we love America. #txlege
Extremely grateful to Speaker Rivas for the welcome at the California Speaker’s Cup. I was honored to receive the Speaker’s Medal for Texas House Democratic Caucus’ work fighting Trump and Abbott’s redistricting scheme. Across the nation, Dems are not backing down, & our fight continues.
This week, #SCOTUS took apart the Voting Rights Act, but we are not giving up. House Democrats broke quorum and fought back in Texas, and we’ll keep going. Chip into the House Dems Campaign Committee, help us keep & elect more Democrats! Let’s go! #txlege secure.actblue.com/donate/txhdc...
The Supreme Court just took apart the most important civil rights law of the last century, and Republican legislatures can crack and pack Black and Latino voters. We started a national fight when we broke quorum last year, now every state with the power to act must act! #txlege
From Virginia to California, what happened across the country started here in Texas. I’m proud of my colleagues who stood up for Democracy. Help support our Dem incumbents, & send them back to the #txlege! Donate to our House Dems Incumbent Protection Fund today! secure.actblue.com/donate/txhdc...
Friends, today the Republicans in the Texas House voted to fine us $8,000 for breaking quorum & defending democracy. We are not giving up, we will keep fighting, but I need your help! Please consider supporting my campaign at this link: secure.actblue.com/donate/gw_em
