After serving w/@RepDennisBonnen I can attest to the type of leader he is & believe he’s a man of sincerity. His record of fighting for his constituents and the members of the #txlege House speaks for itself & I believe TX is better for it. A united House is capable of greatness.

The #txlege 86th session was full of wins for TX and SB2 is at the top of the list. Property tax reform was what the hardworking taxpayers in District 28 sent me to accomplish and I’m proud to have been a part of it w/ @RepDennisBonnen @Burrows4TX and my House/Senate colleagues.

Truly a momentous day for our future. There is no better investment for Texas than our public school system and children. Proud to stand with @GregAbbott_TX, @DanPatrick, @RepDennisBonnen, and all my House and Senate colleagues on passing HB3.
Today I joined @GregAbbott_TX @DanPatrick & #txlege Members to announce we’ve reached an agreement on HB 3, the most historic investment in #PubEd in decades. $5B+ for tax relief, $2B for dynamic teacher pay & $4.5 in ed reform working together to reduce recapture by $3.6B. Proud

Excited to be back w/ the #txlege Higher Ed Cmte this morning to lay out HB826 w/@GFColeman which would create a med school @UHouston. Texas ranks 47 out of 50 in primary care physician to population ratio. This med school would focus on underserved urban and rural communities.
