“one of the most conservative legislative sessions in history”

Friend, This morning marked the beginning of another term for Governor Abbott and Lieutenant Governor Patrick. Today serves as a reminder of the stark contrast between Republicans’ conservative policies and the values that we stand for as Texas Democrats. Prices for groceries and utility bil…

The start of the 88th Texas Legislative Session!

Friend, The Texas Democratic Party team was at the Capitol in Austin yesterday to watch the swearing-in of the 88th Legislative Session -- and I can tell you that there was an electric energy in the building. Texas Democrats made history by tripling the number of Black LGBTQ lawmakers and e…
