Today I laid out HB 4764 in the House Corrections Committee—because if we can’t measure it, we can’t manage it. 📊 Thousands of Texans are held in restrictive housing (otherwise known as solitary confinement) each year, often for months or even years, with limited human contact,

🛞 Last night, I laid out HB 1463 in the House Environmental Regulation Committee — a bill to help crack down on illegal tire dumping in Texas. Every year, millions of scrap tires end up in creeks, fields, and vacant lots — creating fire risks 🔥, mosquito breeding grounds 🦟,

🕊️ Today, I had the honor of laying out House Resolution 1023 on the floor of the Texas House in memory of Dr. Christian Gbaranen Birabil — a trailblazing neuroscientist, proud Nigerian American, and devoted father to one of my predecessors, former HD 100 State Representative

⚖️ Today, I was proud to joint author and help pass HB 200 out of the Texas House. This bill ensures that people who were under 18 at the time of their offense are given a fair and meaningful opportunity for parole — one that takes into account their growth, maturity, and

⚕️Today, I had the honor of laying out HB 1680 - a bill which will eliminate prior authorization requirements for HIV prevention medications like PrEP. This bill would get insurance administrative requirements out of the way of preventative healthcare! Prior Authorization for

I love serving in the Texas House, but it makes me sad when I see my colleagues take elated joy, literally clapping and jumping up and down, when they vote to hurt others who do not look like them or have the same lived experience… I ask for your prayers to the members who fight

Too many families in South Dallas and across HD 100 rely on SNAP benefits to put food on the table for their families only to arrive at the checkout counter with groceries in the basket and a stolen benefits drained by criminals using hidden skimmers. That’s unacceptable. And

This session has been undeniably stressful. Regardless of the issues you champion or the side you represent, we are all stretched to our mental limits, balancing demanding legislative duties with the precious little personal life we can manage for our loved ones. My thoughts and

🎥 WATCH: HB 1368 Passes Out of the Texas House! 📚With strong bipartisan support, the House has passed HB 1368, a bill I authored to direct schools to notify parents if a school nurse, counselor, or librarian position is vacant for more than 30 consecutive days. HB 1368: ✅

Even when you bear your soul on how a bad bill impacts a community that you also are a part of, you get accused of trying to make someone “look bad.” Folks here want you to be small so they can look good, no matter what. IUDGTFOMFWTBS. #txlege

🏛️ Today, we made history in the Texas House. 🏛️ For the first time, the House voted to repeal Texas’ unconstitutional “homosexual conduct” law. This law has been unenforceable for over 20 years, but still sits on our books as a symbol of state-sanctioned discrimination. I

✅ BREAKING: HB 1738 Passes the Texas House ✅ Today, the Texas House voted to repeal the state’s unconstitutional “homosexual conduct” law, for the first time in history. I’m proud to have authored this bill, and even prouder to stand on the shoulders of those who came before

I stand with my constituents in opposition of #SB38. Its expedited eviction process undermines due process and puts law-abiding tenants at risk. We must protect renters while addressing unlawful occupancy. Hear my concerns in this video. #TXLege #TenantRights
