Hey HD45, happy Pride Month! Every year in June, we come together to celebrate the LGBTQIA+ community and honor those who have fought for the right to freely be oneself and love authentically. As we experience continuous attacks on LGBTQIA+ folks and their human rights, it’s vital we create welcoming spaces that celebrate the resilience of q***r Texans. In the legislature, and beyond, we must stand up for all LGBTQIA+ individuals, whether that be fighting dangerous bills designed to ostracize or suppress these communities, to calling out hate wherever it takes root. As we move forward into pride month, let’s honor the beauty and strength of the q***r community by uplifting our LGBTQIA+ neighbors and their stories.

Last day of early voting in the Democratic and Republican run-offs. The polls are open 7am-7pm. Unlike last night, it’s not pouring, so you can vote without getting soaked like Lark and I did yesterday!

Today and yesterday, as the Chair of the Texas Energy and Climate Caucus, I’m leading a tour to Abilene, Texas to see the Stargate data center project and Abilene Christian University’s small modular nuclear reactor.

A bipartisan group of legislators, staff, and policy experts are discussing policy solutions for the next legislative session. Across the political spectrum, legislators are hearing concerns from their districts about data center projects and are ready to act.

It’s a bittersweet Mother’s Day for my family this year. Tomorrow we lay our matriarch, my grandmother Ardith Zwiener, to rest at the Texas State Cemetary.

But I can’t think of a better way to spend the day than arranging flowers for her service tomorrow.

Wishing you and yours a Mother’s Day filled with connection to family today.

Last month, we had a fantastic Texas House Democratic Caucus retreat in Houston! I had a great time connecting with colleagues and hearing from guest speakers like Illinois Governor JB Pritzker and Congressional candidate and Tejano star, Bobby Pulido. We celebrated and reflected on all of our hard work on behalf of Texans in the 89th session, the continued fight against Republicans' racist gerrymandering schemes, and strategic preparation to continue delivering for our communities in the 90th .

Last session and through the interim we've fought tirelessly for fully funded public schools, affordable healthcare access, freedom of speech, voting rights, and more. For my part in the fight, I was honored with the Point of Order Champion Award, highlighting my usage of the House Rules to fight against harmful bills on the floor. Texas House Dems. are energized and ready to continue the work for a better Texas and a better nation.

Huge thanks to Texas State Employees Union (CWA Local 6186) for hosting a critical May Day event and discussion highlighting the intersection between workers' rights and free speech. It is energizing to see the efforts of educators and students across the state in resisting attempts to limit academic freedom and student expression.

Regrettably, we stand at a dark moment for the First Amendment and labor rights in Texas. A 30-year stranglehold of GOP uniparty control, the breakdown of checks and balances on executive authority, and decades of Governor Abbott's hand-selection of university regents has created a wholly totalitarian environment across our campuses. With a mere tweet, the Governor can single-handedly force the withdraw of students whom he has deemed political adversaries or call for the firing of a tenured professor.

Now more than ever, we must commit ourselves to the defense of free speech and higher education. Constitutionally-protected speech cannot determine whether a teacher has a job or a student receives an education. We must vote out those that would seek to claw back our civil liberties and workers' rights. As the 90th Session approaches, I remain committed to supporting our communities and our educators, and to fighting tirelessly to defend free expression and worker protections.
