America owes a debt of gratitude that can never be repaid to the heroes who wear our uniform. They have all sacrificed so much, and too many gave all to keep our country safe. Let's honor them by being worthy of their service. #VeteransDay
What we're seeing happen at our border is more than just a crisis, it's a consequence of the failed policies of the Biden administration. The Texas Legislature will continue to lead on enforcing border security because we have no other choice. https://t.co/uxuPMxbtdx
The covid pandemic showed us one thing very clearly – we can't rely on outside “experts” for guidance and understanding on the science of our policy decisions. The Texas Epidemic Public Health Institute will better prepare Texas for future pandemics.

A sense of duty should be enough, but the Texas Supreme Court agrees that Democrats who fail to uphold their obligations as legislators can face arrest for not showing up. #txlege
The Texas Senate is working today as we continue the 2nd Special Session. There is time to pass all 17 priorities Gov.
@GregAbbott_TX
included in his proclamation. We're hopeful the Texas House will make a quorum to advance these priorities that will benefit all Texans. #txlege
The Senate Finance Committee voted out important legislation on Article 10. And now we are in session debating Senate Bill 1, the Texas #ElectionIntegrity bill. We took an oath, and we are hard at work and will not stop until these critical bills are passed into law. #txlege
While the House Democrats have fled Texas on private planes to appear on MSNBC & CNN, the Texas Senate is hard at work. Already today, the Business & Commerce Committee held a hearing with the new @PUCTX Board, ensuring electric reliability throughout the state. #txlege
Governor Abbott has announced the agenda for the Special Session that begins tomorrow. I am ready to get to work on these important priorities for Texas. #txlege
Thanks @KWTP for hosting me last night for a legislative update. Proud to showcase conservative victories from the #txlege 87th: #constitutionalcarry, banning #criticalracetheory, & the #heartbeat bill. I look forward to securing more victories in the upcoming special session.
I shared an op-ed in the @houstonchron talking about how the 87th Legislature delivered policies and legislation that Texans can be proud of, and which will benefit the citizens of our great state for years to come:

We will never forget the sacrifice of those who gave the last measure of devotion in service to their country. We remember always. #MemorialDay
#sb2 & #sb3 have been sent to @GovAbbott reforming PUC & ERCOT and creating safeguards so Texans will can be confident that our electric grid is resilient and strong. great work @KHancock4TX@DrSchwertner@chrispaddie
The Texas Legislature is taking steps to ensure that election integrity is a priority for every Texan. Every Texan deserves to have the confidence that their vote counts and is secure. We're making sure that voting is easy and cheating is hard for everyone. #txlege
If we'd listened to the voices offering nothing but despair, we'd all still be in lockdown. Hyperbole and fearmongering are not leadership qualities. Texas is coming back stronger. #LetTexasRunTexas
Today, Governor @GregAbbott_TX issued an Executive Order to stop most government entities from making masks mandatory. Texas is coming back because we chose to follow the science and get our state open. #LetTexasRunTexas
2 mos ago, Joe Biden said the decision to fully reopen Texas was "Neanderthal thinking." Now, Texans see a new 13-mo low in number of Covid positive cases, a new all-time low for 7-day Covid positivity rate, & a new 11 month low in Covid hospitalizations. https://t.co/MUiW2wgG5m
