150 Babies a Day Are Being Saved

As I mentioned to you yesterday, an Obama-appointed federal judge ruled to temporarily block the enforcement of Senate Bill 8 — the Heartbeat Act — Texas’ lifesaving legislation that ensures once a fetal heartbeat is detected, the baby’s life must be protected. Late Friday night, the 5th Circui…

Texas Won’t Back Down.

As some of you may have heard, an Obama-appointed federal judge ruled to temporarily block the enforcement of Senate Bill 8 — the Heartbeat Act, Texas’ lifesaving legislation that ensures once a fetal heartbeat is detected, the baby’s life must be protected. Late Friday night, the 5th Circuit Co…

This Will Not Be Tolerated in Texas

Biden’s Department of Justice has instructed the FBI to target parents who raise concerns over Critical Race Theory, likening them to domestic terrorists. Yes, you read that correctly. Give me a break! As you and I know, CRT is a racist philosophy that has no place in our children’s classrooms. …

In Texas, We Back the Blue

Police officers in our state's capital will no longer be able to respond to non-emergency calls because of their severe staffing shortage. So instead, Austin residents are being asked to call 311 to file a report. This is devastating news. In August of last year, the Austin City Council voted to…

Voters Disapprove of Biden

Joe Biden's border crisis is getting worse every single day, yet he refuses to do anything about it. He hasn't visited the border in over a decade — and his policies show it. In a new poll, a majority of Texans approved of building a wall along our southern border. Texans understand the import…

Biden’s Values are NOT Texas Values

With every day that passes, Biden continues to upset Texas voters. His policies promote open borders and encourage illegal immigration. His policies are hostile to law-abiding gun owners. His policies are pro-abortion instead of protecting the unborn. In short, his policies are deflating any…

I’m Extremely Frustrated with the Public Utility Commission...

The Public Utility Commission's vote on Docket 52322, which finances $2.1 billion for retail electric companies, is infuriating. I'm extremely frustrated because this vote is bad public policy and a bad decision for Texas taxpayers. This action will benefit some of the companies who made money d…

I could not be more proud of the work we have done in the Texas Senate, continuously fighting for our conservative values. Through this year's regular and special sessions, we set the foundation for conservative, common sense policy. A cornerstone of this foundation starts with the Election Int…

A Quantum Shift in Property Tax Relief

I have been fighting against skyrocketing property taxes long before being elected to office. I have continued this fight during my tenure as a Texas State Senator and now as Lt. Governor. Last week, we made history in the Texas Senate by passing additional property tax relief. Senate Bill 1 gu…

Tax Relief Must Come First.

Last Monday, we kicked off the start of our Third Special Session. We have a lot of important work to get done, and property tax relief is at the top of my list. Senate Bill 1, passed by the Senate 30-1, guarantees $2 billion in property tax relief, and that amount could rise to a total of $4 bi…

The Crisis Continues

Biden's Department of Homeland Security Secretary admitted they released more than 12,000 Haitian illegal immigrants into the U.S. from Del Rio. Not surprisingly, no COVID testing took place. Over 5,000 additional cases are being processed, so this number could become much higher. Biden continu…

The FBI recently published data showing America's murder rate rose by almost 30 percent in 2020. This is the biggest rise in murder we've seen since we started keeping record in 1960! In Houston, the city I call home, the number is even higher. From 2020 to 2021, there has been a 35 percent incr…

This is a disaster...

Since Biden became president, 1.2 million illegal immigrants have been apprehended at the border. His catch-and-release, open-border policies have created this historic crisis. In the last month alone, Border Patrol apprehended more than 200,000 illegal immigrants — the highest number for August…
