🚨BREAKING🚨
After months of collaboration with local leaders and advocates, we’re delivering more than $15 million for North Texas — investments that will strengthen infrastructure, expand health care and education, improve public safety, and grow our economy.
Proud to fight for these priorities and get them signed into law.
I was proud to vote for a resolution to withdraw U.S. forces from Iran.
At a time when millions of Americans are struggling with the cost of gas, groceries, and housing, Republicans should be focused on lowering costs, not pursuing another costly conflict overseas.
The House has passed a resolution to limit President Donald Trump’s war powers in Iran, a significant rebuke to Trump and his handling of the conflict. https://t.co/7xwuN4SAHl
Thank You, Representative @juliejohnsonTX
For standing up for America's Afghan allies, demanding answers in the case of Mr. Paktiawal, and reminding Congress that our commitments do not end when the cameras leave.
We see your leadership, and we're grateful. 🇺🇸🤝🇦🇫
This Pride Month, we celebrate the strength, resilience, and contributions of the LGBTQIA+ community while recognizing that the fight for equality is far from over.
As the Trump Administration continues to enable attacks on LGBTQIA+ Americans across the country, I remain committed to defending our community and protecting fundamental rights and freedoms.
Through comprehensive federal protections like the Equality Act, we are calling on Congress to finally deliver on the promise of equal rights under the law. As a member of the Congressional Equality Caucus, I will never back down from this fight.
We're proud to be led by every openly-LGBTQI+ Representative and to be able to work so closely alongside @HouseDemocrats' leadership in the fight for LGBTQI+ equality.
Read our Co-Chairs' and House Democratic Leadership’s #PrideMonth messages:
My thoughts are with everyone impacted by the apartment fire in Oak Cliff, especially families who have lost loved ones and the residents forced from their homes.
Grateful to the first responders who rushed into danger to keep our community safe. https://t.co/bmD90SLOES

As Congress debates government funding bills, I’ve requested more than $77 million for local North Texas projects that will improve the quality of life across our region.
I’ll always fight to bring your tax dollars back home to deliver real results for North Texans.
Today, we honor the brave men and women who made the ultimate sacrifice in service to our country. Their courage and selflessness will never be forgotten.
This Memorial Day, we must always remember and honor those who gave everything to protect the freedoms we enjoy today. 🇺🇸
Memorial Day is a reminder for us to reflect on and pay tribute to the stories of our lost servicemembers. To the families who have lost a loved one in service, our nation can never repay our debt to you or make up for your loss. Our hearts are with you on this day.
Proud to introduce the FED UP with Bleeding Disorders Act! It takes an average of 16 years for a woman with a bleeding disorder to receive a proper diagnosis. For too long, women and girls have been excluded from research and denied the care they deserve.
That’s why I fought to protect bleeding disorder programs from reckless cuts and worked alongside the @nbd_foundation and @BleedingTexas to improve timely diagnosis and care.
Today is the last day to vote early in Texas’ primary runoffs on May 26th!
Polls are open until 7 PM tonight.

One of my most important responsibilities in Congress is delivering results for North Texas.
That’s why I’ve worked to secure more than $15.5 million in federal funding to invest in community projects across our region.
Check out some of the North Texas projects ⬇️
DWC Members Omar & Jayapal serve their communities and women across America with heart, dignity, and passion every day.
This is hateful, bigoted, and just plain wrong.
A little girl with a rare brain tumor should not be separated from her parents because of a broken immigration system. Denying humanitarian parole in a case like this is inhumane.
Our immigration system should reflect our values: compassion, dignity, and humanity. We can have a fair, fast, and final system without abandoning our morals. https://t.co/Xo7e8KbSTU
In Congress, I’ve stood firmly against Republican efforts to take away due process rights.
That’s why I voted with Democrats against harmful legislation like the Laken Riley Act.
I'll never stop fighting to protect Americans’ constitutional rights and the fundamental promise of equal justice under the law.
Violence in any form is unacceptable, and my heart is with the families who lost loved ones in today’s shooting at a mosque in San Diego. Houses of worship should always be places of peace, safety, and community; never fear.
We must come together to reject hate and bigotry in all its forms, including Islamophobia. I’m grateful for the swift and heroic response from law enforcement and first responders as they worked to protect the community and prevent further harm.
Breaking News: At least three men were killed in an attack at a San Diego mosque, the authorities said. Two suspects were found dead nearby. Follow live updates. https://t.co/0UP9z3mKxW
For too long, Texas has had a two-tiered justice system: if you have money, you get freedom. If you don’t, you'll end up in jail. We need bail reform that protects public safety & due process.
That’s why I voted NO on Republicans’ deceptive “Keep Violent Offenders Off Our Streets Act.”
Early voting starts today for Texas’ primary runoffs on May 26th!
Polls are open from 7 AM to 7 PM every day through Friday, May 22nd.

I voted NO on Republicans' deceptive “Keeping Violent Offenders Off Our Streets Act” because justice should never depend on whether someone can afford bail.
Charitable bail funds help low-income people accused of nonviolent offenses return to their families and jobs while awaiting trial. This bill adds new taxes, paperwork, and federal restrictions on nonprofits doing lawful work in our communities.
The result? More people sitting in jail before trial simply because they’re poor, not because they’ve been convicted of a crime.
I’ll keep fighting for a justice system that is fair, balanced, and focused on both safety and equal treatment under the law.

As #NationalNursesWeek comes to a close, I want to extend my deepest gratitude to the nurses of North Texas and across our country who dedicate their lives to caring for others.
You bring an unwavering commitment to patients and families in their most difficult moments. Thank you for all that you do.
Had a great day getting a sneak peek at the new Halperin Park!
Thank you to all our partners, especially April Allen, Anne Hagan, and Jessica Muniz, for helping reconnect neighbors split by highway construction.
Together, we can build a safer, more beautiful Dallas!
