I joined Raymond Arroyo yesterday to speak about Texas' latest pro-life victory, the Heartbeat Bill, and Biden's attempt to defeat it. You can watch my interview here. Last week, the state of Texas made history by becoming the first state to outlaw abortions once a heartbeat is detected. What a …

Texas Prevails Where Biden Fails

Let's face it - Biden is failing Americans. On top of the ongoing Afghanistan crisis overseas and skyrocketing inflation here at home, our borders are not secure. To make matters worse, now Biden is building new facilities for border guards in Tajikistan to defend the Tajik-Afghan border. Our so…

Election Integrity is Now Texas Law

Yesterday, I joined Gov. Abbott as he signed the Election Integrity Bill into law. This monumental signing was extra special because we showed the tenacity of the Texas spirit and how we don't back down in the face of left-wing opposition. Despite the Democrats' attempt to thwart the passage of …

Conservative Cornerstones That Will Keep Texas, Texas

“The Texas Senate completed one of the greatest weeks for conservative legislation in Texas, and perhaps, American history.” Today, I joined Gov. Greg Abbott in Tyler for the signing of SB 1, the Election Integrity Bill. Our goal was to make it easier to vote and harder to cheat, and this bill d…

A Quantum Shift... PLUS, An Exclusive Invitation...

Providing property tax relief to Texans will always be a top priority of mine. I want you to keep more of your hard-earned money.  On Wednesday, the Texas Senate passed Senate Bill 91, another bill providing property tax relief to Texans across the state. 29 of 31 senators voted in favor of the…

Heartbeat Detected = Life Protected

We made monumental strides in delivering for the people of Texas during the 87th Legislative Session. We took additional steps against abortion to protect the lives of the unborn. We are ensuring our police officers receive adequate funding. Finally, today, we get to see these bills and other cr…

Biden has Failed our Nation

As this year's second special legislative session draws to a close, the Texas House is (finally) at work this week voting on several GOP priority bills. In the Senate, we have already passed bills on election integrity, bail bond reform, a 13th check for retired teachers, banning critical race th…

Property Tax Relief Is On The Way

I have been fighting against skyrocketing property taxes since 2003 — even before I was an elected official, and I continued this fight when I began serving in the Texas Senate. As Lt. Governor, the fight against higher property taxes is one of my top priorities, and I have continued my commitme…

Texas Stands For Life

Protecting the unborn has always been one of my top priorities. When I served in the Texas Senate, I was proud to have passed the landmark sonogram bill, saving thousands of babies in Texas. Since I have been Lt. Governor, the Texas Senate has passed the strongest pro-life legislation in histo…

Texas’ Economy is Thriving

In Texas, we added more than 80,000 jobs over the last month alone! More jobs, lower unemployment rates, and stronger economies. These are the results of enacting strong Republican policies. Conservative policies work and continue to make Texas a beacon of freedom and a leader in productivity an…

A Great Victory for Texas and the U.S.

Yesterday, the U.S. Supreme Court ruled to reinstate President Trump’s ‘Remain in Mexico’ policy. This is great news! The ‘Remain in Mexico’ policy sends illegal migrants to Mexico to wait for their asylum case hearings, rather than releasing them into the U.S. Without this policy, many could w…

Time to Finish Our Work

Biden's open southern border policy is an open door to terrorists. According to the outgoing Border Patrol Chief, we are seeing an unprecedented number of known or suspected terrorists crossing our southern border in recent months. With Biden's total retreat in Afghanistan, our state and country …

President Chaos

"The idea that somehow, there's a way to have gotten out without chaos ensuing, I don't know how that happens." Those were Biden's exact words when asked in an interview with George Stephanopoulos if there was anything he could've done better with the Afghanistan withdrawal. He even went as far…

Biden’s Real Priorities

Sleepy Joe has proven himself an enemy to the Texas oil and gas industry. He proves it by his words and his actions. On his first day as president, he killed the Keystone XL pipeline, preventing 830,000 barrels of crude oil from being carried daily to the U.S. Gulf Coast, as well as killing tho…

We Must Ban Critical Race Theory

A disturbing ideology known as “Critical Race Theory,” leftist propaganda rooted in the notion that our country was founded on racist ideals, has been cropping up in classrooms across the country. Making matters worse, this ideology is thriving in some Texas public schools as a ‘woke’ response t…

Biden’s Inflation is Hurting Americans

Grocery shopping is more expensive. Rent prices are higher. Small businesses are struggling to fill jobs. The numbers don't lie. This is the reality of Biden's disastrous economic policies. In July, consumer prices rose 5.4% - the highest rate since 2008! The majority of Americans are saying t…

Open Border = COVID Crisis

At our southern border, we have a crisis happening right before our eyes. Since February, over 7,000 COVID-positive migrants have been released just in McAllen, giving the mayor no choice but to order a declaration of emergency. Our border cities and our brave Border Patrol agents are overwhelme…

It is now Day 32 of the Texas House Democrats’ dereliction of duty, and the clock is ticking. Their misadventures in D.C. have them running around with Pelosi and her radical Democrats. They are pushing for a federal takeover of our elections, all while holding our democracy hostage! The Texas Ho…

21.5 million. That's how many lethal doses of fentanyl Texas law enforcement seized from illegal immigrants trying to cross the border in just the first four months of 2021. This is the equivalent of 95 pounds. 2.2 pounds of fentanyl can kill 500,000 people. Biden's open border policies are dead…
