Plastics are an indispensable part of a low-carbon future – they make cars more efficient, homes more energy efficient and reduce food waste. It is important for us to improve their circularity. How are we doing that? dow.com/en-us/material… #SPWPC

Texas has been the best state for business because we adapt. JETI needs a tune-up. HB 105 prioritizes energy, investment, and job growth — and keeps Texas first. Let’s lead the next wave of innovation. Support HB 105! #txlege

Huge win for Texas innovation! SB 2206 passes the Senate 31-0! We’re increasing the R&D franchise tax credit from 5% up to 8.722% — and even higher to 10.903% for R&D with Texas universities and colleges. For every $1 in R&D incentive, Texas gains $12.47 in Gross State Product

Major manufacturing projects act as a magnet for service providers – that means more jobs! Every manufacturing job creates 5 additional jobs. We need to fix HB 105 to attract new industry investment and keep jobs coming to Texas. #txlege
