🌈 Today marks the anniversary of the Obergefell v. Hodges decision—a momentous step toward equality and love winning in our country. But in times like these, with far-right threats looming and a Trump-appointed Supreme Court willing to overturn precedent, the rights we’ve fought so hard for are at risk. I will always stand up for what’s right. For equality. For dignity. For the LGBTQ+ community—not just in June, but every single day. 🏳️🌈✊ #PrideMonth #HD70

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. 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
