Ruben Cortez for Texas

[Texas Association of School Boards @tasb_news]

NEWS: On April 29, the South Texas ISD Board of Trustees voted to hire Sandra Garza-Ochoa as the district’s new superintendent. Ochoa most recently served as the superintendent at Ed Couch-Elsa ISD.

Ochoa will report to the district on June 1, 2026. #TxEd

[Chuck Schumer @SenSchumer]

Tonight, the Senate finally corrects a fifty-year mistake by passing the Social Security Fairness Act.

Millions of retired teachers and firefighters and letter carriers and state and local workers have waited decades for this moment.

No longer will public retirees see their hard-earned Social Security benefits robbed from them, thanks to this bill.

FINALLY someone calls out Sen. Cruz for his girlish giggle. Allred slams Cruz for his role on Jan 6: "It's not funny and you're a threat to democracy"

Tonight my heart is with the family of Representative Rene Oliveira, who sadly passed away. Rep. Oliveira was great leader who made an incredible impact on South Texas. His legacy is one of deep commitment to our community and he will be dearly missed. Thank you for your service.

[Diego Bernal @DiegoBernalTX]

SB4, signed into law today by Greg Abbott, will allow police to arrest people they *suspect* are undocumented.

On any given day, that’s any one of us.

This is the cruelest form of politics: harming people to hold power. #txlege

[TMF @TMFtx]

Before we unplug for the holidays wanted to share my thoughts on what Texans really want for Christmas 🎄 and who’s the grinch that’s taking it away #Txlege

[Northern Cameron County Democrats💙🌊🌈 @NCCDemsRGV]

NCCD stands in strong opposition to Abbott’s school voucher scam and attempts to divert funds away from our public schools.
Tomorrow, the House will vote on HB1, so NCCD rallied in front of State Rep Janie Lopez’s office to show that we are against school vouchers.

[Pastors for Children @pastors4txkids]

Privatizers of #txed are sucking our schools dry of resources, re-segregating them by race, class & religion, and abandoning any pretext of the universal system of free public schools mandated by the Texas Constitution. 

That’s what @GregAbbott_TX vouchers are all about. #txlege

[Ruben Cortez @RubenforTexas]

Our schools are the backbone of our community. I will never stop fighting for our students, parents, and teachers! NO VOUCHERS! #NoVouchers #TXLege #TxEd

[Ruben Cortez @RubenforTexas]

"Don't mess with Texas Public Schools " #txlege

[Scott Braddock @scottbraddock]

As the school voucher session starts, Texas House Democratic Caucus Chair @TMFtx says "Don't mess with Texas public schools" #txlege

[Ruben Cortez @RubenforTexas]

No one should be taxed out of their homes. I plan to get to the root of the problem by proposing a 3% cap on appraisal growth and a permanent freeze on appraisals for seniors and disabled residents. It’s time for real property tax relief for working families! #txlege

[Gina Hinojosa @GinaHinojosaTX]

To reach the nat’l average TX schools need an added $40 Billion for the biennium.

Vouchers TAKE $ from schools & give it to unaccountable private schools that can choose & exclude. Do your job @GovAbbott
Fund Texas schools.
No gimmicks. No vouchers.
