I spoke to Bexar County Election Administrator Michelle Carew about voters being put on the Voter Suspense list. She said there are over 20 different ways you could have been put on the Voter Suspense list and not be registered to vote.

Even if you think you are registered and nothing like your name or address has changed, everyone still needs to check their registration!

🗳️Today is National Voter Registration Day! Register to vote or check your registration so we are all ready to vote in November!

🔴Deadline to register or update registration in Texas is October 5th🔴

Today marks the 25th anniversary as we remember 9-11. We honor all the lives that were lost, and all those that saved countless lives, many while losing their own. Our thoughts are with their families and friends whose lives were forever changed, as they remember their loved ones.

Honored to join Port San Antonio and Boeing Center at Tech Port for the ribbon-cutting of their new Primary Care+ and Dental Clinic, which will provide easy access to care for Port San Antonio and their tenants. I hope that more employers take inspiration from the work being done here to ensure employees are able to easily access care that can change their lives and help them do their jobs even better.

Happy Labor Day! Today we recognize the work and many sacrifices our friends in labor and labor organizations have made that benefit us all. These efforts have improved standards for safer working conditions, education, skill levels, and wages. We will continue fighting for better standards, conditions, and quality of life!
