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

Our hearts are with the families, first responders, and communities impacted by the devastating floods in Central Texas this past weekend. The destruction across Kerr County is heartbreaking. Over 90 lives have been lost, dozens remain missing, and countless homes, pets, and wildlife have been swept away. I join so many others in mourning every life lost in this tragic disaster. To the first responders, search and rescue teams, and volunteers risking their lives to help—thank you. Your bravery and compassion mean everything in this moment of crisis. Collin County stands with Kerr County and all of Central Texas. Please keep these communities in your prayers. And if you’re able, consider donating to local relief efforts. Every bit helps as the long road to recovery begins. 💔 https://www.redcross.org/local/texas/central-and-south-texas/ways-to-donate.html https://cftexashillcountry.fcsuite.com/erp/donate/create/fund?funit_id=4201 https://kerrvillekroc.org/
