It is very rare for a freshman legislator to make such an impact in their first session. Thank you for working with me on this important bill. I'm looking forward to watching you succeed at the Capitol for years to come.
SB 1621, cracking down on criminals who possess or distribute AI-generated child sexual abuse material has passed the House! Incredibly proud to work with Chairwoman @joanhuffman - a true champion on these issues.

Yesterday, I participated in a productive meeting with Gov. @GregAbbott_TX, Lt. Gov. @DanPatrick, Speaker @Burrows4TX, and Rep. @DrGregBonnen as part of our ongoing collaboration on priority issues and the budget. Our goal is to make this legislative session one of the most.
Governor @GregAbbott_TX spent the day hammering out details on property tax relief and other conservative priorities with Lt. Gov. @DanPatrick and Speaker @Burrows4TX at the Capitol. The Governor continues to work closely with the Texas Legislature to deliver results for Texans.
