Breaking news, John… Last night, a small handful of House Democrats returned to the Capitol –
giving the legislature the quorum needed to resume business. Finally, after 38 days, our Republican legislators can get back to doing their jobs and serving
the people of Texas who desperately need help. While this is a huge win, I’m still not celebrating. In fact, I’m still outraged that these Democrats
– many of whom have still not returned – abandoned the hard-working people of Texas for nearly 6 weeks.
And, I am outraged fleeing Democrats still retain
their committee chairmanships and were not penalized for their walkout. That’s why today, I want to see what you think…
Should the Democrats who return back to the Capitol
still be punished for fleeing the state, abandoning their Constitutional duties, and neglecting the people who elected them?
Please take a moment to let me know what you think should happen to the Democrats by answering my
question above. And – now that our legislature can get back to business – please stay tuned for more e-mails from me and my team about our
critical Legislative Priorities. Sincerely, Matt Rinaldi Chairman, Republican Party of Texas
