AI Regulation
We are concerned about the lack of regulation surrounding AI, as well as the environmental costs of data centers. We need protection against AI-related harms, including deepfakes, the unauthorized use of images or likenesses, the theft or misuse of copied information, and social media platforms chan
Texas public education is facing a crisis, and I urge you to treat this moment with the urgency it deserves. School districts across Texas are being pushed toward budget deficits, program cuts, and potential school closures because of decisions made at the state level that have placed new mandates o
Texas must make passenger rail a major transportation priority. I urge you to support dramatic increases in state funding for passenger rail planning, construction, and operations, including true high-speed rail where it is practical. Our state continues to invest tens of billions of dollars in high
Re: Evidence-Based Public Health Leadership — Urgent Action on Measles Outbreaks I am writing to urge immediate, evidence-based action to address the ongoing measles outbreak and to ensure Texas public health guidance is led by qualified scientific and medical experts. This outbreak is not just a pu
I urge you to immediately stop the construction of any new border wall through Big Bend National Park and the surrounding protected lands. This project is environmentally destructive, fiscally irresponsible, and does nothing to strengthen our nation’s security. Big Bend is one of America’s greatest
One More Potential War Crime. One More Congressional Test.
President Trump’s latest threat to destroy an Iranian bridge or power plant after every attack in the Strait of Hormuz sounds less like military strategy and more like a social media revenge fantasy. The laws of war are not a loyalty test or a scoreboard. Every strike must satisfy military necessity
Vote YES on H.R. 5160: Protect Lifesaving Stem Cell Transplants
I urge you to vote YES on H.R. 5160, the bipartisan Stem Cell Therapeutic and Research Reauthorization Act, before it expires on September 30, 2026. The C.W. Bill Young Cell Transplantation Program is the nation’s lifeline for patients with leukemia, lymphoma, aplastic anemia, sickle cell disease,
Mandatory Hormone Testing Deserves Congressional Oversight
For years, many in Washington condemned hormone therapy as “gender affirming care” and portrayed it as morally unacceptable. Now the Department of Defense is celebrating mandatory testosterone screening and offering testosterone therapy in the name of military readiness. So which is it? Is hormo
I am writing to urge Texas state leadership to oppose the destruction of the Big Bend region and surrounding borderlands for unnecessary physical border barriers. I have previously made clear that I oppose physical barriers in this area—not only within Big Bend National Park, but throughout the sur
The Constitution Before Trump. Vote NO on Blanche.
Vote NO on Todd Blanche’s nomination as Attorney General. Todd Blanche has already demonstrated that he is not prepared to lead the Department of Justice. His handling of the Epstein files damaged public confidence, with the release drawing criticism over the disclosure of victims’ identifying info
Shut down the construction of the hyper scale data center in Houston! Houston already has a lot of toxicity in it’s air due to smog and all the cars we harbor in our city, the last thing we need is a data center poisoning low income residents or residents of color in order to further damage our glob
Investigate ICE's Killing of Lorenzo Salgado Araujo and End These Operations Demand an independent investigation into the killing of Lorenzo Salgado Araujo, the father of three who was shot by ICE agents in Houston after they ran his plates during a surveillance operation he had nothing to do with.
Stop Violating the First Amendment—Keep Religion Out of Texas Public Schools
You swore an oath to defend the Constitution of the United States—not to promote one religion through our public schools. It is time you honored that oath. Any requirement that public schools read or promote the Christian Bible as religious instruction is a direct assault on the First Amendment. Go
Oppose Border Wall Construction in the Greater Big Bend Region

Order the Texas Rangers to investigate the Houston ICE shooting
On July 7, an ICE officer shot and killed Lorenzo Salgado Araujo on a street in Houston’s Magnolia Park. I’m asking you to direct the Texas Department of Public Safety to open an independent investigation through the Texas Rangers, who have jurisdiction over officer-involved shootings on Texas soil,
Today July 9, 2026 I learned of the killing of Lorenzo Salgado Araujo in Houston by an ICE officer. According to public reporting and statements from his family, Mr. Salgado Araujo was shot and killed while on his way to work. His son has said he recognized his father’s voice from video circulating
As I wrote previously regarding ICE actions in Chicago, Minnesota, and Washington, I believed those incidents demanded immediate attention. Now, as a Texan, I am especially concerned by the fatal shooting of Lorenzo Salgado Araujo in Houston. This tragedy raises serious questions that deserve a full
I am writing as a Texas constituent to ask why our state leadership has failed to take action to protect one of the most extraordinary and irreplaceable landscapes in Texas: Big Bend National Park and the wildlife that depends on it. The proposed destruction of habitat on Mariscal Mountain and alon
I am writing as one of your constituents to urge you to support strong, impartial enforcement of Texas election laws. Election integrity depends on every voter and every public official being held to the same legal standards, regardless of party or position. Recent public reporting has raised serio
It is encouraging to see Texas taking environmental stewardship seriously by requiring the cleanup of illegally dumped wind turbine blades in Sweetwater and preventing additional waste from being accepted at those sites. Holding companies accountable for illegal dumping is an important step in prote
Limit and regulate all AI data centers. Before allowing them to develop have long term impact studies done for water, electricity, heat, AND noise. Do not let greed override community health!
For nearly a decade, I have urged Texas to lead the nation by embracing wind, solar, and energy storage instead of relying on the politically convenient "all of the above" slogan while oil and gas continue to benefit from decades of public subsidies and favorable policies. The facts are becoming imp
Fight For Our State’s National Parks
I urge you to publicly call on the Department of the Interior to abandon its appeal of the federal court ruling requiring the restoration of historical and scientific materials removed from our national parks and monuments. Protecting our national parks is not only the right thing to do—it is an ec
I urge you to support restoring influenza vaccination requirements for members of the U.S. military and to support an evidence-based scientific review of vaccination policy for the general public. Public policy should be guided by the best available scientific evidence. Science is a method for disco
