Proud to stand with @KingForTexas and all who fought on behalf of the students and teachers in the Texas public schools. Thank you for fighting the good fight.

When most of us are 18, we graduate with support of family and big dreams. Youth aging out of foster care aren't so fortunate. I'm proud to help @PFCatx celebrate 18 years of helping to support these kids so they can dream big. Can you help? https://t.co/FZwOtSUJxL
