Three years ago today, the Dobbs decision reshaped reproductive healthcare access across the country. In Texas, we’ve since seen a heartbreaking rise in neonatal loss and maternal mortality. I recently joined Lisa Roswell on the Silent Footprints podcast to talk about HB 37, also known as Everly’s Law — a first-of-its-kind bill that improves support and care for families experiencing stillbirth and neonatal loss. This legislation was deeply personal and hard-fought. I’m proud of what we accomplished, and grateful to the families who shared their stories to make it possible. Listen to the episode to hear how we got it done in Texas: 🔗 https://podcasts.apple.com/us/podcast/the-silent-footprints-stillbirth-miscarriage-sids/id1749155339?i=1000714329076 #TXLege #HD70

I am deeply disappointed by Governor Abbott’s decision to cut funding from the budget for the Summer EBT program that would have fed low-income Texas children while school is out.

I am deeply disappointed by Governor Abbott’s decision to cut funding from the budget for the Summer EBT program that would have fed low-income Texas children while school is out. This is not just about food. It’s about giving every child the chance to thrive, and that starts with having enough to eat. I remain committed to finding every possible way to support Texas families and ensure that no child goes hungry. #TXLege #HD70

The good news keeps coming from the Governor’s desk — two more bills I proudly carried in the Texas House are now law! ✅ SB 1563: Establishes critical training for county jailers on how to better serve and support justice involved veterans in their custody. ✅ SB 1723: Launches a rapid DNA testing pilot program and modernizes standards to help reduce crime lab backlogs — speeding up justice for victims and helping exonerate the innocent. These laws will make a real difference for public safety, our justice system, and the well-being of those who’ve served our country. 🇺🇸 Proud to get this across the finish line for #HD70 and all Texans. 💙
