Sen. José Rodríguez

Texas State Senator, District 29

[Sen. José Rodríguez @JoseforTexas]

It has been my privilege to serve as your State Senator for the past nine years, and EP County Attorney for over 17 years before that. I am sincerely grateful for your trust and confidence. After nearly three decades in elected office, I will not seek re-election in 2020. #txlege

[Sen. José Rodríguez @JoseforTexas]

He incites people, as happened today here. After everything he has done - family separation, lies about immigrants that led to a massacre in #ElPaso, lies about the election that led to violence and death at the Capitol - he is #notwelcome /2 https://t.co/cjckCFWNcl

[Sen. José Rodríguez @JoseforTexas]

I was asked why, on my last day as Senator, I stood with @BNHR to tell the president he was not welcome on the border. 1/

Representing Senate District 29 - #ElPaso, Culberson, Hudspeth, Jeff David and Presidio counties - has been a great honor and privilege. #TXLEGE Legislators will have their hands full this historic session. https://t.co/4wt87oNZ93

@dan7121 I’m honored and privileged to have played a role. Thank you.

PAY ATTN to redistricting in the #txlege this session.

Gerrymandering is one of the #VoterSuppression tools successfully used by #Texas Republicans to maintain legislative control.

[Michael Li 李之樸 @mcpli]

Jeff Timmer helped draw Michigan’s gerrymandered maps in 2011. He now says those maps contributed to the toxic politics of the Trump era. #fairmaps https://t.co/9bMYfY8Ilr

We’re not asking you to shoot them like you shoot us, we’re asking you to NOT shoot us like you don’t shoot them...

[Sen. José Rodríguez @JoseforTexas]

Incredible thread. Read the entire thing, especially the part describing the #Capitol good old boy network and observed the need for #change starts there.

[Eunique Jones Gibson @eunique]

I really wish someone would call my Dad, a retired Capitol Hill police officer (37yrs), to talk about the difference in preparation. The stories he’s telling me about prep for Farrakhan and others vs why yesterday happened the way it did is mind blowing.

This is one of the clearest examples of something Biden can't fix overnight even if he reverses every bad policy on day one.

[Diego Bernal @DiegoBernalTX]

This is exactly why allowing firearms into the State Capitol has always been a terrible, pandering idea. #txlege

@Menendez4Texas @realDonaldTrump Hiding in his bunker. Grateful for the calm, steady leadership of @JoeBiden.

Just in: video release by @realDonaldTrump

.@SenatorRomney is honoring his position as a representative of ALL his constituents, and ALL Americans, instead of only his primary voters - and a subset of those, at that - as so many Republicans are doing.

[Jim Sciutto @jimsciutto]

“Pres Trump has disrespected the American voters, has dishonored the election system and has disgraced the office of the presidency. I'm confident we'll proceed as the Constitution demands and tell our supporters the truth, whether or not they want to hear it." - @SenatorRomney

[Sen. José Rodríguez @JoseforTexas]

Texas is a voter suppression state. Time is running out on that tactic.

No matter what happens tonight, let's give Stacey Abrams her flowers. Without her bold leadership and vision, none of this happens. 💐💐💐

Immoral— and practically speaking this is completely foolish. COVID-19 doesn’t discriminate, so why should our public health measures?

Equality Texas has three paid internship opportunities for the 2021 legislative session!

Hey twitter fam, I hope you share this. I haven't seen my brother since October. He is an addict, and we hoped he was seeking help, but no clinic has him. Panic is setting in. Brandon was last seen in Austin. He is 37 y/o, 5'11 & about 145 lbs. Thanks! #missingperson #atx #atxhiv

ICYMI: My guest column in @elpasotimes "Actions we take now -- saving businesses, putting money in the hands of struggling families, and helping new businesses get started – will be what keeps poverty from drawing in a larger portion of our population." https://t.co/ilKHfHwED4

[Sen. José Rodríguez @JoseforTexas]

Well put. 🙏🏼

[America's Voice @AmericasVoice]

ICYMI: Fantastic new op-ed from Senator @timkaine on making America an "island of mercy" for all refugees.

"We must offer them the hopes and the joys we wish for ourselves. We must make America their island of mercy."

Pandemic Inequality— 56 new billionaires. 8 million fall into poverty.

[Sen. José Rodríguez @JoseforTexas]

No sane person can think this makes sense, when people are facing hunger and eviction, and lack health insurance. #Covid
