Online voter registration is secure, inexpensive & efficient.
I have filed legislation to allow Texans to register online since 2013. Watch me talk with the @TXsecofstate about bringing our voter registration into the 21st century.

“Public safety. Roads. Flood control. The traditional core services of Commissioners Court must be carried out with integrity, focus and competency… We think we can do better… So does Lesley Briones, the “yes and” candidate for Precinct 4."
Legal aid for those facing evictions, plus our new tenant protections, will be a one-two punch against housing instability with rising rents and few protections in place for renters... https://t.co/Br5jZoua9U
We’ve asked too much of our friends in law enforcement when it comes to 911 calls for people experiencing a crisis or struggling with health issues and homelessness ... we're hearing incredible real-world success stories coming out of this HART program. https://t.co/aDHrV9FDSY
Our Holistic Assistance Response Team has responded to almost 1000 calls since March. This freed up the equivalent of 11 full-time deputies and 675 hours of officer time. We’re investing in innovative, data-based programs that actually make us safer.
Congrats to @JHUAPL on confirming we successfully moved an asteroid! The historic DART mission proved humanity could stop a threatening asteroid if needed — and shows what’s possible when we come together and do big things.

Congratulations to our country’s Minor League Baseball players on a historic, swift, and overdue organizing victory, and to @MLB and @MLBPA for taking this critical step. Every worker is entitled to be treated with dignity and respect – on the job and on the field.
THREAD. The investigation of the media's role in distorting perceptions of public safety published by Bloomberg yesterday is one of the most important pieces of investigative journalism I've ever seen on the topic. It's a damning indictment of how many outlets cover our safety.
Congrats to @BetoORourke's 129 staffers that've ratified a union contract through @OPEIU_277 – the first time a statewide campaign in Texas has run with a union contract.
Staffers laboring long hours in a high-pressure political environment should have a voice in the workplace.
