New Year, New Congress, New Office!
I'm excited to welcome our #TX07 neighbors to our new office in Rayburn House Office Building. Come see us!

Today, we celebrate #Juneteenth and all it represents, in Texas and across the country.
It is important that we know and learn from our history—all of it—and that we do our part now to continue the work of those who fought for the promise of America for all of its citizens.
The best way for me to represent you is to hear from you about your concerns, your priorities, and your needs.
Please fill out my survey and let me know your thoughts: https://t.co/6vMRITsxrc
Every week that the House is in session, I send out an email explaining what's going on, and what I'm doing about it.

A flood watch remains in effect for the entire region as tropical moisture, a stalled front and a tropical disturbance near the Texas coast continue to fuel repeated thunderstorms capable of producing rainfall rates of 2 to 5 inches per hour.
The setup favors multiple rounds of rainfall over the same areas, increasing the risk of flash flooding in urban areas with poor drainage and low-lying spots. https://t.co/HYmM59IBil
NHC has initiated advisories on Potential Tropical Cyclone One (formerly AL90) located over southern Texas. Potential Tropical Cyclone Advisories (PTC Advisories) are issued when there is high confidence that the disturbance will develop into a storm and bring significant impacts.
Potentially life-threatening flash and urban flooding is possible across the Texas coast eastward into central Mississippi through Thursday. Prolonged rainfall may extend the flood threat into the weekend. Widespread small stream and minor river flooding is expected along the Texas coast into southwest Louisiana, with isolated areas of significant river flooding possible across the Texas Coast and Louisiana.
Potential Tropical Cyclone One is forecast to become a tropical storm as it moves along or just off the northwestern Gulf coast through Wednesday. Tropical Storm Watches have been issued from Sargent, Texas, to Morgan City, Louisiana.
Minor to moderate coastal flooding is expected along portions of the Upper Texas and Louisiana coastlines.

I signed a discharge petition on the Right to Contraception Act because women have a right to the full range of reproductive health care.
I will never stop fighting to restore and protect access to reproductive health care and ensure all individuals can make their own private health care decisions.
Did you know? In 2022, DACA recipients, Dreamers, contributed nearly $2.1 billion to Social Security and Medicare. Dreamers are part of the fabric of our society, in #TX07 and across the country. And that's why I have again sponsored the Dream and Promise Act.
We're coming up on the 250th anniversary of our country, but actions President Trump is taking couldn't be more un-American. Glad to talk about some of them with Craig Cohen on Houston Matters. ⬇️
I was honored to join the Alpha Kappa Alpha Sorority Inc.'s State of Women in Texas Forum at home in Houston last week to recognize the chapters who organized the forum and their ongoing work.
For more than 100 years, AKAs in #TX07 and across the country have worked to strengthen connections and promote collaboration in our communities, and this forum was a demonstration of this meaningful and important work.
Happy #FlagDay! Today, we celebrate the symbol of our country's unity, freedom, and resilience. Our flag represents the sacrifices made and the values we hold dear. Let's celebrate with pride and remember the principles that unite us all.
Happy 251st birthday to the U.S. Army, which has fought for our rights, our freedoms, and our democratic principles since 1775. Today we recognize and honor soldiers and their families for their dedication, commitment, and sacrifice for our country.
This month, we honor the generations of Caribbean Americans whose leadership, creativity, and service have helped shape our nation’s story and #TX07's community. Happy Caribbean American Heritage Month!
Access to contraception should be a decision made by women and their doctors — not the government.
That’s why I signed @RepFletcher’s discharge petition to force a House vote on the Right to Contraception Act to protect access to birth control.
As a member of @ReproCaucus, I won’t stop fighting until reproductive freedom is a reality for all.
A must-read. This is not what the Situation Room is supposed to be used for. Survivors of Jeffrey Epstein and the American people deserve better. https://t.co/yafvnBu30o
Sending gratitude to the first responders, as well as my thoughts to the community in Midland, as they process this senseless act of gun violence.

OTD in 1967, the Supreme Court struck down laws barring interracial marriage in the case of Loving v. Virginia. Today, it is important to remember those who fought for their love and won. Every day, we all should fight to protect this progress and equality for all. #LovingDay
On Women Veterans Recognition Day, and every day, we honor the 2 million women who have proudly and courageously served our nation. As the fastest-growing group of veterans, we must protect their access to care and ensure VA remains a welcoming place for all women veterans.
Republicans keep pushing for a national abortion ban and remain hell-bent on restricting access to birth control. Enough is enough!
I just signed @RepFletcher's petition to force a House vote on our Right to Contraception Act. I'll always stand up for reproductive freedom.
