I am humbled by the continued support I have received to remain State Representative for District 142. My primary was important because it was about whether we fix the schools on the Northeast side of Houston or we continue with the status quo. The constituents chose to 1/#txlege

So we transport illegals to cities and now we send troops to apprehend them. You can’t make this up!

So we transport illegal immigrants to cities and now we send troops to get them. Democracy at its best. Psyche!

Had a dream last night that no one showed up for the redistricting hearings since there was no bill. What an argument!

And the plot continues: my granddaughter after freshman year at Arizona State earned A’s in each of her 6 subjects. And my grandson, a senior at Strake made 1460 on SAT.

It’s somewhat insulting that folks ask who wrote a bill I am carrying. Did it ever occur to you idiots that the bill was written by me.

When did the Texas Legislature become so dumb they can’t fix the problems in failing public schools.

Your voice was silent at the start of the session challenging Dutton not being reappointed House Public Ed Chair. And rumors are the primary reason was because Dutton was anti- voucher. But you were mute about this. Go back to sleep.
A reminder that The Family Empowerment PAC is a pro Voucher PAC and they donated $10,000 to @RepHaroldDutton, @ShawnieT146 and @SergioMunozJr and now we all wait and watch what 10k buys. FEPAC still had over $300,000 to buy off votes in last report.

We must unlock the genius in every child that shows up to the front door of our schools.

Longtime Texas Rep. Harold Dutton on why he wrote — and stands behind — the law that required the state to intervene to turn the district around.

@RepHaroldDutton @Harrisyds Thank you, Harold, for being the ONLY DEMOCRAT WHO OFFERED AN AMENDMENT TO THE HEARTBEAT BILL IN 2021. Somehow, that gets lost in all of this. Some of us will never forget. We also won’t forget that WOMEN are no longer a priority for the Party. Adios mofos.

Congratulations @RepHaroldDutton and Texas lawmakers on the House passage of HB 2162, which bans the harmful three-cueing model in reading curriculum and literacy instruction. Thank you for your leadership! #TXleg #literacy

😭😭 “I went to a predominantly Black elementary school so I can’t be racist” is definitely a new one.
I take extreme offense to @RepHaroldDutton accusing me and the 27K LEOs we represent of being racist. I’m guessing he doesn’t know I attended Bethune elementary in Acres Homes (Houston) in his district where I was the minority. Not sure how he manages to take a good bill for
