Thank you, Representative @AngieChenButton, for leading the charge to end the outdated STAAR testing model and deliver a better accountability system for Texas students.
Your leadership on House Bill 8 helped move Texas toward shorter assessments, faster feedback for parents and teachers, and more time focused on real classroom instruction.
This is the kind of thoughtful education reform that puts students first and gives families the transparency they deserve. #txlege

It was wonderful to see Sachse Mayor Bickerstaff and his wife Leslie and to hear more about what the city of Sachse is working on at the Sachse State of the City Recognition Dinner.
Through voter-approved property tax reforms, Rep. @AngieChenButton delivered $51 billion in property tax relief—raising the homestead exemption, cutting taxes for families and seniors, and protecting Texans from being taxed out of their homes.
These reforms delivered real savings, kept seniors in their homes, and held taxing entities accountable.
You can count on Rep. Button to always put homeowners first and keep fighting for real, lasting property tax relief for Texans. #txlege
