Had an incredible time speaking with a group of bright international students last week! As the first Romanian American legislator in Texas, I shared my own experiences studying abroad and how they’ve shaped my perspective in the Texas Legislature. International education builds bridges and fosters understanding among cultures. Texas benefits immensely from our diversity, and our international students bring so much to our communities. As someone who represents a state university with a large international student body, I recognize the challenges many students are facing, especially those affected by policy changes disrupting their educational journeys. We will continue to advocate for students to come learn in Texas from around the world. #TXLege #HD70

I’ll have two bill layouts in committee this week, find out more about them here! **HB 1441** Including training on mental health effects for school resource officers. This does not add new training hours, but incorporates evidence-based curriculum on how mental health conditions impact student behavior.  This will be heard in the Committee on Public Education on Tuesday, 4/15. **HB 3918** Standardizes the procedure for informing candidates and election officials where political signs can and cannot be placed in a municipality. Municipalities must also publish local regulations for sign placements online. This will be heard in the Committee on Elections on Thursday, 4/17
