As a woman, female political journalist and now, mother to beautiful baby girl, this moment of America electing a woman to the office of Vice President just means so much.
Now: State Rep

I continue working with state & local officials to ensure all available resources are deployed to respond.
Now more than ever we are seeing the importance of journalism & local journalists. My heart & thoughts are with our community & as much as I want to continue lifting your voices & bringing you facts, I have to temporarily stop posting on this platform. I will be back next week.
JUST IN: Judge Tim Sulak has issued an order, expanding vote by mail in Texas for people who wish to list the COVID-19 pandemic as a reason in the disability category to cast a ballot by mail.

State Rep.
@DonnaHowardTX
brings context to the Texas ban on abortion, pointing out black mothers in TX are 3x more likely to die in the first year of birth than other Texas women and that’s on top of TX having a higher maternal mortality rate than other parts of the US
I am stern “vote on Election Day” gal but with the CDC pandemic voting recommendations, I decided to break tradition & vote early for the first time. So, you could spend your lunch break eating or use it to exercise your constitutional right to vote! Choose the latter!
