No Texas woman should have to endure the hurdles that Dr. Dennard did to get the life-saving care she needed.
This is not freedom, and this is not who we are as Texans.
I am honored to have her as my guest for the State of the Union.

I was honored to meet with Lauren Miller, who had to flee Texas for a medically necessary abortion after learning her fetus had a fatal condition.
I will keep fighting to protect the freedom of Texas women to get the health care they need, including access to abortion.

Investing in affordable child care means investing in our future. It creates jobs, supports parents and gives kids the foundation they need to succeed. I’m proud to fight alongside the Congressional

I will always work to ensure women have access to the health care they need including access to mifepristone. This decision is welcome news, and the legality of this critical medication should have never come into question in the first place.

Every day an American is held abroad is a lifetime. That was true for Trevor Reed, for Brittney Griner and for all those still detained.
That's why we must stay focused on bringing every American detained abroad home.
Today we discussed that important topic at

For those living with diabetes, early screenings can save lives. It was great to meet

Texas women should not have to flee our state for the life-saving care they need. Today, I met with Lauren Miller, who had to travel out-of-state for abortion care, to discuss the harmful impact of Texas’s abortion ban.
I will always fight to protect the freedoms of Texas women.

Today marks 8 years since the tragic shootings at Pulse Nightclub in Orlando. As we honor the lives of those we lost, we must commit to taking action against gun violence and working together to root out hatred so a tragedy like this never happens again.

I know firsthand the challenges and struggles families face when a loved one is diagnosed with Alzheimer’s. As we recognize

In the face of growing authoritarianism, I have worked to strengthen partnerships with democracies across the globe. Our bipartisan efforts to pass aid to Ukraine continue that important work while creating 350 good-paying jobs in North Texas.

61 years ago, the Equal Pay Act was signed into law. But we still have work to do to ensure every person gets equal pay for equal work. That's why I’m proud to support the

, which strengthens this law and works to end wage discrimination.
