Trump’s not welcome in Texas

Hi friend, Trump is in Texas this week, and tomorrow, he’s bringing his bullshit “Freedom Tour” to Austin. The disgraced, twice-impeached, former President is on a campaign around our home state to help his buddies, like Greg Abbott and Ken Paxton, shore up support from the far right. He’s desp…

[EMERGENCY] Senate is voting today on the Women’s Health Protection Act!

Friend, The Senate is just hours away from voting on the legislation that would codify Roe v. Wade, and we need your signature. The Women’s Health Protection Act is our best hope at protecting our right to abortion at the federal level. We need decisive action on this now, so we can’t waste a s…

6 months to Election Day

Friend, We’re six months away from one of the most important elections in our lifetime, and so much is at stake. Protecting and expanding our Democratic majorities in the House and the Senate, getting Beto in the Governor’s Mansion, making Democratic gains in our state legislature. These are al…

78%

Hi Friend, Yesterday, a poll from the University of Texas at Austin highlighted what we know to be true: a majority of Texans support access to abortion. 78% said they believe abortion rights ought to be protected -- while only 15% said it ought to be outlawed in all circumstances. Friend,…

Friend, I’m pissed.

Friend, After the last 36 hours of processing the news about Roe v. Wade, there’s really only one way to describe how I’m feeling -- I’m pissed off. Friend, I’m so angry with the extremist conservatives on our Court who authored this opinion, the Republicans in Congress that have stood in the w…

I stand with you

Friend, To say I’m saddened and disgusted by last night’s news would be putting it lightly. The draft opinion by Justice Alito leaked by Politico outlining the intentions of 5 Supreme Court Justices to overturn Roe v. Wade is a nightmare for people and families across our state and across our co…

Friend, only a few hours left

Hi Friend, Every day this month, we've been reminded of how important it is that we elect Democratic leadership in Texas. Abbott's border disasters (yes, disasters) are the latest in a series of billion-dollar mistakes that prove he cannot continue to sink our state. From Abbott's trade shutdo…

Texans want Beto in the Governor’s mansion

Hey Friend, This month, the polls in the Texas Governor's race have been incredibly positive. We started off the month with Beto O’Rourke within two points of Greg Abbott, according to Texas Lyceum. And a few weeks ago, the Texas Hispanic Policy Foundation reported that Latino voters prefer Beto…

Texas is among the worst

Friend, did you know that Texas ranks among the lowest in the country for female representation in local government? The Center for American Women and Politics found that in Texas, less than 30% of municipal offices are held by women, ranking us in the bottom third of the nation. In 2022, this s…

FOUR BILLION DOLLARS

Hi Friend, There’s nothing Greg Abbott wouldn’t put at risk for a political stunt. Migrants, border communities, taxpayer dollars, our state’s economy -- nothing is more important to our governor than a 3 minute segment on Fox News. And Friend, we can now put a number to the cost of Abbott’s la…

Ken Paxton is making Texans pay for the Big Lie

Hi Friend, Since Ken Paxton was sworn in as our state’s Attorney General, he’s proven time and again that he’s unfit to “lead” our state. From his securities fraud indictment just months after taking office, to his ongoing FBI investigation, to his involvement in the January 6th insurrection, Pa…

Dan Patrick is a disgrace to Texas

Hi Friend, Last year, Lieutenant Governor Dan Patrick presided over one of the worst legislative sessions in recent memory -- unleashing abortion bounty hunters, Jim Crow-era voter suppression, and permitless carry onto our state. When I thought he couldn't possibly stoop any lower, Patrick ann…

Friend, Over the last week, Governor Greg Abbott's actions have been nothing short of despicable. Greg Abbott is using migrant families as props in his political theater -- while devastating our nation's supply chains heading into a holiday weekend. His transparent political stunts have drawn h…

Cruz and Cornyn -- embarrassing Texans yet again

how to solve our teacher shortage

Hi Friend, As you know, Greg Abbott has never prioritized the millions of teachers and students in our state. And now, he’s using our children’s education to score political points yet again. Texas students, teachers, and schools are hurting under Abbott’s anti-education agenda. Abbott has fai…
