A San Antonio native and proud son of immigrants, Senator José Menéndez @Menendez4Texas grew up working at his family’s record shop located in San Antonio’s West Side. A true common sense problem solver, he draws from his experience from City Council and the Texas House, and now proudly advocates for and serves the people of Texas Senate District 26.
Since following the call to public service, he has continued to remain committed to equal rights, as well as improving the state’s public education system, utilities and energy infrastructure, and housing and economic development. Sen. Menéndez has passed hundreds of bills that benefit children, seniors, veterans, and families. #txlege
First Houston ISD, then Fort Worth ISD, and it looks like Austin ISD is next.
We are depriving public schools of funding and resources, and then blaming them for not performing.
The answer is not state control, it's state support.
Senator Borris L. Miles opens the Health and Human Services Interim Hearing by stressing that Texas has the highest uninsured and underinsured residents in the entire country, especially in Senate District 13. Access, cost and quality remain the biggest problems with the current system. Senator Miles emphasized that changes are needed to ensure ALL TEXANS have access to affordable, accessible and quality healthcare.

In 2018, Nathan Johnson flipped a 3-decade-held Republican Texas Senate seat and became a leading voice in healthcare, the electrical grid, government transparency, criminal justice, and state infrastructure.
Texans and their families need a government that is efficient, effective, and responsive to their everyday needs, and Senator Johnson is fighting for just that.

Abbott and Paxton asked the Texas Supreme Court to throw elected Democrats out of office because we wouldn’t help him rig the map for Donald Trump.
Today, we won.
We're not going anywhere.

The court got this one right.
Like we argued in our August amicus brief, the Texas Constitution gives only the Legislature power to discipline its members—not the Governor, not the courts. #txlege
New: SCOTX has denied @GregAbbott_TX’s quo warranto petition asking the court to declare @GeneforTexas’ seat vacant. The court finds that the House’s internal policy was enough to restore quorum, rendering this case no longer an active question.
