Another @TexasDemocrats House member, Rep. @Ramos4Texas [Ana-Maria Ramos], is two-stepping the rules!
She paid personally, then received the exact amount back from the campaign. But the #Txlege House Rule 5 bars campaign funds from paying quorum-breaking fines.
In her report she states, “Reimbursement for political expenditure made from personal funds.”
Is following the rules just simple politics to the @TexasHDC?

"Fred Tate is a proven conservative leader who doesn't shy from a good fight. For more than 30 years, he has stood for the issues that matter most to Texans: strong families, secure borders, and accountable government. I’m confident that, as your state representative, Fred will work tirelessly to reduce the burden of property taxes, protect our values, and stand up for Texas. I’m proud to endorse Fred Tate for House District 98."
Congressmen Jake Ellzey,
U.S. Representative for Texas's 6th Congressional District
My office requested an opinion from the @TXAG on whether any school with ties to terrorist organizations or hostile foreign governments can participate in Texas Education Freedom Accounts.
The people of Texas deserve the highest assurance that no taxpayer dollars will be used, directly or indirectly, to support institutions with ties to a foreign terrorist organization, a transnational criminal network, or any adversarial foreign government. #txlege
Thank you @txtravelnews for endorsing our campaign!
Over 1.3 million Texans work in the travel industry in every corner of the state.
And it keeps Texas growing — once visitors see how great this state is, many of them end up staying for good!
$10 million in taxpayer funds went missing in Elgin.
We’re not “moving on.”
My office is working with the Texas Rangers and the Attorney General to uncover what happened and hold every responsible party accountable.
What an outstanding first hearing of the House & Senate Joint Committee on Civil Discourse & Freedom of Speech in Higher Education. I’m grateful for the leadership of @TerryWilsonTX Wilson and @TeamBettencourt as we begin this important work.
We closed the day with a truly inspiring panel of student leaders whose thoughtful testimony gave me real hope for the future of our state. Hearing from Hudson Thomas, the Student Body President at the University of Texas at Austin, Carter Mallory, Student Body President at Texas A&M University at College Station, and Dylan Seiter with TPUSA at Texas A&M was a powerful reminder that the next generation is ready to lead with a commitment to meaningful dialogue.
Austin City Council members using your property tax dollars to give to political organizations.
That should ALREADY be illegal.
If not, we must make it illegal next session.
In the meantime, if you live in Austin, go vote on Tuesday AGAINST Prop. Q -- against raising your property taxes even more.

Today is the day to vote on Constitutional Amendments. 🇺🇸
Vote today to lower your property taxes (increase in homestead exemptions), stop violent criminals from getting out on bail, and for the Constitutional Amendment I sponsored to help finish the wall and stop border wall infrastructure from being taxed.
Also, a number of conservative school board members are on the ballot, make sure to turn out to support conservative ISD Trustees.

1.5 million Texans (11% of our state’s workforce) earn their living in restaurants. @TXRestaurants are a driver of local jobs in every community.
I’m proud to have their support in my campaign to keep Texas the BEST place for business! #txlege
