This week, I joined my Texas House Democratic colleagues to present 25 bipartisan public safety bills aimed at making our communities safer. These proposals hold violent offenders accountable, strengthen our courts and crime labs, and ensure law enforcement has the tools they need to protect Texans. By closing gaps in our justice system, we can reduce backlogs, improve efficiency, and deliver timely justice.
But true public safety is about more than just enforcement—it’s also about prevention and support. That’s why these bills invest in crime prevention, provide critical resources for survivors, and address the root causes of violence.
It was wonderful to meet with constituents participating in Texas Impact’s Family Matters Faith Days at the Capitol. Thank you for stopping by to advocate for public education, women’s healthcare, and so many other critical issues. I am grateful for your dedication to building a better Texas!
It was great to see my friend City Council Member Abbie Kamin at the Capitol during this week’s Judiciary and Civil Jurisprudence Committee Hearing. Thank you for driving up to Austin to advocate for firearm safety and our veteran community!
It was great meeting with the American Association of University Women to discuss critical issues like protecting public education, expanding healthcare access, and addressing Texas’ gun violence epidemic. Their advocacy and commitment to a better future for every Texan is truly an inspiration!
Thank you to my friend Harris County District Clerk Marilyn Burgess for stopping by to discuss her office’s legislative priorities for this session. I am grateful for her commitment to improving our court system.
