Beautiful evening for a town hall in Nacogdoches!
Great conversation about improving health care, investing in our schools, and ensuring we create great jobs right here in this community.
This afternoon, I met with Romanian President Klaus Iohannis in Bucharest. We reaffirmed that the United States and Romania, along with our allies and partners, stand together in opposing Russian aggression in Ukraine. NATO is united and stronger than ever.
Over the last few weeks, we’ve seen people, organizations, and companies around the world stepping up to support the people of Ukraine. Here are some examples I’ve been tracking:
I just met with Texas nurses to announce a new plan to address this state’s dire nursing shortage.
When I’m governor, we will launch the Texas Nursing Jobs Plan to fully cover the education and training of 7,500 new nurses a year in return for their service to our communities.
Why did Greg Abbott slash critical funding for Texas’ Nursing Shortage Reduction Program by nearly half since taking office?
No idea, but I do know how we're all going to fix it.

It’s no wonder that we can’t recruit and retain teachers as Abbott turns his back on those who served our communities.
We’ll raise teacher pay, expand loan forgiveness programs, and strengthen the health care and retirement benefits that teachers not only earned but deserve.
While Abbott tries to divide us, the people of Texas are focused on uniting this state around a shared vision for great jobs, world-class schools, and affordable health care.
Corporations got $11 billion while Texans froze to death.
Abbott got $4.6 million from their top executives.
What'd we get? Higher energy bills each month.
I’m thinking of the families who have been impacted by this devastating fire. We’re all with Falfurrias in the difficult days ahead.
Grateful for the firefighters, emergency personnel, and members of the community who stepped up to help their fellow Texans during this crisis.
Texas teachers are underpaid by $7,500 a year.
That ends when we win. We’ll raise teacher pay, improve teacher health and retirement benefits, fully fund our classrooms, and have the backs of our heroic educators.
