Our country's 250th birthday is a good reminder that freedom relies on generations of Americans who have answered the call to serve. I'm proud to live in San Antonio, where our veterans and military families are such an important part of our community, and grateful to organizations like @USAA that continue to support them every day. https://t.co/OD1FuwnKiv

Tom Luce has been one of our state's greatest champions for education, mental health care, a strong business climate, and integrity in public service. I was honored to write this piece about Tom's sweeping impact on Texas and the potential of the Tom Luce Policy Fund to continue improving mental health services across the state. #txlege #txed https://t.co/sOFZcyv6dB

We continue to grieve for those who were lost in last week's floods & their loved ones. We also take heart in seeing so many Texans who’ve stepped up to help. Some went into harm's way to save those who were in peril. Others have worked tirelessly to assist and comfort the victims of these storms. If you’re still looking for a way to help, please consider supporting groups doing this critical work, such as the Kerr County Relief Fund, which is steering resources to vetted organizations. https://t.co/gFgBRCwR7N

President Lincoln said, “A nation that does not honor its heroes will not long endure.” Today, we honor and thank all Veterans for their patriotic service and for making it possible for our country and its core principles to endure. #VeteransDay

Happy Independence Day! It’s a day to celebrate with family and friends — and to remember the enduring importance of why we are celebrating in the first place.

Happy 100th birthday to President George H.W. Bush. Thank you to the @ExpressNews for publishing this guest column about his considerable achievements as President and his principled approach to leadership. https://t.co/Gy8yy87psb

[Joe Straus @SpeakerStraus]

Today we remember the brave Americans we have lost in battle around the world, as well as those who continue to put themselves in harm’s way to protect and defend our country. https://t.co/HC10r6zd5H

"Concerned about public education? Vote, starting with the primaries" where most winners are determined due to gerrymandering #txed #txlege #EducatorPlus https://t.co/uVp90AyZ7x @SpeakerStraus @txstatepta

Early education matters to the success of our children, our workforce, and our economy. It's important that Texas continues to support investments in high-quality pre-K and I appreciate the chance to discuss these issues with the @DRC earlier today.

[Joe Straus @SpeakerStraus]

Donald Trump is trying to dismantle our democracy by seeking to invalidate an election he lost. Anyone who supports this effort is demonstrating a disregard for the U.S. Constitution, the will of the American people, the sanctity of the electoral process, and the rule of law.

Really smart column from @SpeakerStraus should be sobering to Democrats and Republicans alike. | Why Democrats’ dreams of a blue Texas keep getting dashed https://t.co/dIGlmRjLHU

[Joe Straus @SpeakerStraus]

Congratulations to President-Elect Biden and Vice President-Elect Harris on their victory. The election is over, Americans made their voices heard in record numbers, and it's important that we have a smooth transition of power for the good of our country. #txlege

[Joe Straus @SpeakerStraus]

Texans are pragmatic enough to support a new approach to health care — one that will be better for our residents, our economy and taxpayers’ wallets. #txlege https://t.co/Z27jTkNLN1

[Joe Straus @SpeakerStraus]

A renewal of Pre-K 4 SA — a continued investment in our kids — is a smart investment in the future of San Antonio. Please vote yes to #KeepPreK4SA. #txlege https://t.co/ohBLpV7Obl

I’m usually the one answering the questions, but I enjoyed asking these journalists about covering the heavy toll that this pandemic has taken on mental health care. Appreciate their work. #txlege

[Joe Straus @SpeakerStraus]

I am deeply honored by this and want to thank the Northside ISD Board of Trustees. Nothing matters more to our future than great public schools. #TxEd #txlege

Texas Forever Forward PAC supports veterinarian Dr. Glenn Rogers in House District 60. Dr. Rogers will work each day for public education and other priorities of this rural district. His opponent is propped up by special interests who have poisoned our political system. #txlege

"The only way to see ourselves in a true light is to listen to the voices of so many who are hurting and grieving. Those who set out to silence those voices do not understand the meaning of America — or how it becomes a better place. "
