Juneteenth gives us an opportunity to remember that Rep. Edwards and Dr. Opal Lee’s legacies are not in a distant, dusty record in the past, they are living in the hopes we carry and the justice we seek. Our work as legislators, activists, and champions for civil rights and social justice proves that progress is possible when hope overcomes fear. Thank you to the Plano Community Forum, Mayor Muns, and Collin County NAACP and President June Jenkins for organizing our Collin County Juneteenth celebration, it is an honor to live and work with you! #TXLege #HD70

Thank you to our incredible 9-1-1 telecommunicators! This weekend, I gave the opening remarks for the 2025 North Central Texas Emergency Communications District (NCT 9-1-1) Awards Gala to celebrate the men and women who serve as the very first line of defense in any emergency, our telecommunicators and dispatchers. Every 9-1-1 call begins with a clear and steady voice on the other end of the line. A voice that reassures, instructs, and acts decisively to get help where it is needed. These professionals guide people through their worst moments with clarity and compassion. Our telecommunicators ARE first responders. They save lives every day, and their role in keeping everyone save is irreplaceable. It is long past time we update our laws to formally classify our 9-1-1 telecommunicators as first responders with all legal support and benefits. Thank you to NCT 9-1-1 for inviting me to speak, and thank you to every dispatcher who answers the call. You are true heroes, and I will continue to fight for you. #TXLege #HD70

Happy Father’s Day to all the dads, granddads, and father figures who show up with strength, patience, and love every single day. To my own dad, thank you for teaching me what it means to lead with heart, to work hard, and to never back down from doing what’s right. ❤️ #HD70

The tragedy in Minnesota today is a painful reminder of rising political violence in our nation. We must guard our institutions, our public servants, and each other against this hatred. Please read my full statement: #HD70 #TXLege
