That’s why I worked with my Dallas delegation to bring home $100 million for the new Dallas State Hospital, the first full state psychiatric hospital in our region. #TXLege #SD16

The issue isn’t that politicians have partisan interests — that’s always been true.
What’s offensive is mid-cycle map redraws, without a census, just so republicans can shield themselves from voter backlash over broken promises and failed leadership.
