It’s official: I’m running for San Marcos City Council, Place 1! 🌟

I’m fighting for renters’ rights, local jobs, flood safety, transparency & a greener, more walkable city.

Got an issue I should know about? Want a yard sign? Let me know.

Grateful to the @NAACP chapter at Texas State for hosting last night's forum. Their century-long fight for justice continues today - in housing, wages, & representation. The work isn't done, but together we can build a fairer San Marcos. chasenorris.org
I'm honored to be endorsed by the Hays County EMS Association (CWA Local 6115) - the first responders who keep San Marcos safe every day. Together, we'll fight for fair pay, mental health, & respect for those who serve.

I’m running for the U.S. Senate.

Billionaires have taken over Texas and taken over America — but together, we can take power back for working people.

I'm running for governor of Texas to refocus our government on issues that matter to regular folks, to fully fund public education, to save rural hospitals, to expand Medicaid. Join the fight at coleforgovernor.com!

13/ Tagging our allies so this call carries further:
@EqualityTexas @ACLUTx @transED @HRC @LambdaLegal @GLAAD @TrevorProject @PPGreaterTX @TxFreedomCaucus @EqualityTexas
12/ Texas can be a place where everyone is free to be seen, to live, to thrive. Let’s build it together. #TXLege #Pride
11/ We will not be silenced. We will not be invisible. Pride is protest. Our history, our identities, & our futures depend on resistance, compassion, & resilience. 🌈✊
10/ • Mobilize the vote: Register, recruit, & vote out hate.
• Show up visibly: Pride, schools, workplaces—presence is power.
• Protect youth: volunteer, donate, uplift.
9/ • Organize & amplify: Support Equality Texas, ACLU of Texas, TENT.
• Hold lawmakers accountable at town halls & in the press.
• Fund lawsuits to block these laws.
8/ But our voices are louder. Our movement is stronger. And we have a plan. Here’s how we fight back:
7/ These bills aren’t just policy. They are acts of erasure. They endanger dignity, safety, & lives. They represent state-sanctioned cruelty.
6/ HB 1106 says refusing to affirm your child’s gender identity is not abuse. This legalizes harm in the name of “family values.”
5/ SB 8, the so-called “bathroom bill,” bans trans people from facilities matching their gender. Schools, shelters, prisons—$25k–$125k fines enforce this cruelty.
4/ HB 229 defines “sex” on official documents only by reproductive capacity. It erases gender identity, harms intersex Texans, & denies lived realities.
3/ But in Texas today, hard-won progress is under attack. The Legislature has passed cruel, targeted laws aimed at erasing LGBTQ+ people. Here’s what we face: 🧵
2/ Those marches sparked change—anti-discrimination protections, access to healthcare, marriage equality, & a culture that finally began to see us. Collective action works.
1/ 🌈 Pride is more than a parade. It’s protest. It began in 1969 at Stonewall when queer & trans people resisted police violence. One year later, they marched for rights & visibility. ✊ #Pride
7/ History shows what happens when vaccines are embraced, and when they’re abandoned. We can’t afford to go backward.
6/ Public health should be guided by science & compassion, not politics. Vaccines protect all of us, especially the most vulnerable.
5/ 🔬 mRNA research is especially promising. It can fight COVID, flu, RSV, HIV & even cancer. 🧬 Cutting it now means walking away from life-saving breakthroughs.
4/ These moves erode trust, weaken pandemic readiness, & threaten decades of progress. They turn back the clock to a time when outbreaks killed thousands.
3/ 👶🤰 He also rolled back COVID vaccine recommendations for kids & pregnant women. During the measles outbreak, he downplayed the crisis—even as unvaccinated children filled hospitals 🏥 … and one child died.
2/ ⚠️ That’s why RFK Jr.’s recent policy changes are so dangerous. He disbanded the CDC’s vaccine advisory board & cut $500M from mRNA research. 🚫🔬
1/ 💉 Vaccines are one of humanity’s greatest triumphs. They eradicated smallpox, nearly ended polio & slashed measles deaths by 80% worldwide. They save lives. Full stop. 🌍✨
👥 Democracy works best when it’s close to home. I’m running to open government, amplify voices, & protect San Marcos’ right to govern itself. Let’s build trust together. 🌞 #SMTX
