Texas State Representative, former middle school teacher, and Presbyterian seminarian running for the U.S. Senate to take power back for working people.
ICE should be cracking down on the cartels, not our communities.

ICE should be deporting gang members, not small business owners.

ICE should be hunting down human traffickers, not moms and babies.

When did pedophilia become a partisan issue?

The American people deserve to know the full truth about Jeffrey Epstein and every powerful person who enabled him.

Every name. Every flight log. Every cover up. All of it.

16 million children are about to go hungry because DC Republicans refuse to fund SNAP.

If they can spend $3 trillion on tax cuts for rich people, they can afford to feed hungry kids.

There’s a lot of fear in our country right now.

But Día de los Muertos reminds us that love casts out fear.

This is the Texas I know. This is the Texas we’re fighting for.

Three men — Elon Musk, Mark Zuckerberg, and Jeff Bezos — now own more wealth than 165 million Americans combined.

They own the media.
They own the algorithms.
They own politicians in both parties.

The system is rigged — but We the People can take it back.

Tariffs are ruining everything — including the Texas State Fair.

$14 for fried oreos.
$15 for a funnel cake chicken sandwich.
$25 for a turkey leg.

DC politicians are pricing Texans out of our own state fair.

Ken Paxton and John Cornyn claim to stand for freedom, family, and faith. 

But you can't stand for freedom and control women's bodies.

You can't stand for family and vote against paid family leave.

You can't stand for faith and sell out the poor to give tax cuts to the rich.

President Obama can pronounce my name however he wants 😂

Thank you @barackobama.bsky.social for your kind words.

The most dangerous form of government is theocracy. 

Because the only thing worse than a tyrant is a tyrant who thinks they're on a mission from God.

Ken Paxton’s crimes are well known. But John Cornyn may be even more corrupt.

Cornyn was the deciding vote on the “Big Ugly Bill” — kicking millions off their healthcare to give his billionaire donors a tax cut.

That is corruption of the highest order.

Jesus spent most of his time healing the sick.

Today, we have politicians in Congress with “Christ-follower” in their Twitter bios — but they’re trying to kick the sick off their healthcare.

And they’re willing to shut down the government to do it.

DC politicians like John Cornyn promised to lower costs, fight for families, and drain the swamp.

Now they’re trying to gut healthcare for millions to cut taxes for their donors — even shutting down the government to do it.

If you feel conned, you have a place in this campaign.

Democracy is not just voting in elections; it's not just institutions and laws.

Democracy is a spiritual practice.

It requires a deep love for our neighbors — especially our neighbors with whom we disagree the most.

I’m tired of being divided into teams.

Do you have an elderly grandparent who needs care? So do I.

Do you struggle to afford the high price of everything? So do I.

Do you know what it means to carry the weight of medical debt? So do I.

You’re on my team — and I’m on yours.

I joined the picket line with striking hotel workers in Houston.

If you put in the hours, you shouldn’t be scraping by.

I will never stop fighting for Texas workers in this economy rigged for billionaires.
