Honored to be named a Texas Labor Champion by the Texas AFL-CIO with a 100% pro-worker score on their 2025 scorecard. 💪 As we head into a special session filled with political distractions, I’m staying focused on what matters: protecting the rights, dignity, and safety of Texas workers and families. Grateful to stand with the labor movement—today and every day. ✊ #TXLege #HD70

July is #DisabilityPrideMonth — a time to celebrate the strength, dignity, and contributions of Texans with disabilities, and to recommit ourselves to building a more inclusive state. This session, we made meaningful progress: ✅ I was proud to co-author HB 2081, which creates a grant program to expand inclusive higher education opportunities for students with intellectual and developmental disabilities. ✅ Thanks to SB 1, the base wage for personal care attendants will increase from $10.60 to $13/hour. This is a big deal — it means more stability for the workers who help Texans with disabilities live independently, and it will directly improve lives across HD70. ✅ HB 2 delivered $8.5 billion in new public school funding, including $1.3 billion dedicated to special education programs. But there’s more work to do. I was also a co-author of HB 645, which would have provided co-navigation services for Texans who are deaf-blind. Though it didn’t pass, I remain committed to getting this over the finish line. To every Texan living with a disability: I see you. I’m with you. And I’ll keep fighting for policies that advance access, opportunity, and independence — all year long. #HD70
