🚨 BIG WIN for Texas voters: Rep. Curry’s HB 2715, “The People’s Veto,” is now law!
Texans can now petition to remove local officials—like county attorneys and judges—who abuse their power or betray public trust. This game-changing bill gives YOU the power to remove corrupt local officials, restoring accountability and integrity in local government.
Accountability isn’t optional. Power belongs to the people 🇺🇸💪 #txlege #ThePeoplesVeto

As primary author of SB 1111 I was disappointed in a Fed Judge ruling, it is a common sense voter intergity bill. @HarrisVotes has had 5k-8k voters reg @ private PO Boxes & shouldn't have impossible address. No one lives in a PO Box! This will be appealled by @TXAG#txlege@TPPF
