From a constituent in Houston, TXNo on HB3! Public funds are for public schools.
Please oppose HB3. High tuition rates make private schools cost-prohibitive for low-income students. An average private school tuition is $27,000 in the Houston area. This means a family has to have another $17,000 to send their kid to private school, if they are even admitted. So the proponents of
From a constituent in Houston, TXUphold separation of church and state in public schools
Preserving religious freedom and upholding the separation of church and state are fundamental principles that should be safeguarded in our public education system. The proposed bills to allow in-school prayer time (SB 11) and mandate the display of the Ten Commandments in classrooms (SB 10) raise si
From a constituent in Houston, TXReject fabricated claims, strengthen public education for all
The claims used by Gov. Greg Abbott and Rep. Stan Gerdes to justify the proposed "F.U.R.R.I.E.S. Act" and push for school voucher programs have been debunked.

From a constituent in Houston, TXKeep public funds for public schools - NO on vouchers
Texas legislators are currently considering a school voucher program that would divert public funds to private and religious schools.

From a verified voter in Houston, TXProtect consumers, safeguard CFPB funding against defunding bill
I urge you to speak out and, if within your ability, vote against the Defund the CFPB Act introduced by Senator Raphael Cruz. This proposed act comes, of course, hot on the heels of Elon Musk announcing his own digital payment platform, "X Money," and the Consumer Financial Protection Bureau (CFPB)
From a verified voter in Houston, TXDefend robust U.S. cyber capabilities against Russia
Halting offensive cyberoperations against Russia is a misguided decision that leaves America vulnerable.

On February 18, 2025, President Trump signed an executive order declaring that only the attorney general or the president can speak for the U.S. when interpreting the meaning of laws carried out by the executive branch.
