One of the great myths in Texas is that public education is underfunded. To the contrary, through the legislature and local governments, taxpayers have amply funded public education no matter how you frame it. The real story is one of misallocated resources. Read on #txlege 👇👇

@RepArrington, it was a pleasure meeting today to discuss concerns about the dangers of codifying #MFN policy and how this could harm drug development in the U.S. Thank you for your leadership to ensure our country maintains its top position in biomedical innovation.

In its latest white paper, TCCRI takes a deep dive into weather modification and urges policymakers to stand firm against any efforts to ban these technologies. Read the full white paper here. txccri.org/single-post/cl…

Almost 100,000 students have applied to Texas Education Freedom Accounts in a little over a week! There is a HUGE demand for school choice, as we’ve always known. #schoolchoice #txlege

In Austin today, I was glad to join the @TCCRI Financial Services Policy Summit! Smart, purposeful policy lets Texas continue to lead as America's economic engine, where families thrive and businesses grow!

Early #cancer detection is closer to reality for patients. The #MCEDAct, one of the most important cancer policy achievements in years, has passed! @RepArrington, we thank you for leading this effort through the years and we are grateful to Congress for passage. @JohnCornyn

@RepArrington @RepTerriSewell #MCED will be a game changer in the fight against cancer. Thank you @RepArrington for your outstanding leadership. We urge the Senate to pass it next! House passage of the #MCEDAct is great news. As the bill heads to the Senate, it’s time to finish the job. @JohnCornyn

I’m proud to announce, alongside my friend @RepTerriSewell, that the House just passed our bill - the Gardner Sewell Medicare Multi-Cancer Early Detection Screening Coverage Act - which is one of the most consequential and widely supported accomplishments in the fight against cancer in decades. This critical legislation will give seniors access to groundbreaking innovation, which will transform how we detect, diagnose, and treat cancer, saving lives and improving outcomes through the power of early detection. This monumental achievement was made possible by a broad, bipartisan coalition committed to putting patients first. I’m grateful to Rep. Terri Sewell for her partnership as we built a team of 338 House cosponsors, 67 Senate supporters, more than 500 advocacy organizations, and voices outside Washington, like Dallas Cowboys quarterback Dak Prescott, who helped drive this effort forward. Together, we are delivering real, life-saving services to thousands of Americans while saving taxpayer dollars by catching cancer before it spreads.

TCCRI is pleased to announce prominent conservative political commentator, columnist and former US presidential advisor Scott Jennings as its keynote speaker for its 2026 Policy Forum. Details: wix.to/Q54b8Rx #TCCRI #PolicyForum

With support from 400+ members of Congress, the time is now to pass the #MCEDAct & enhance access to early #cancer detection!  @RepArrington @JohnCornyn @LeaderJohnThune @SenSchumer @SpeakerJohnson @RepJeffries

More than 550 cancer advocacy organizations nationwide have highlighted the importance of the #MCEDAct. With tremendous bipartisan, bicameral backing, this legislation is ready to pass this January. @LeaderJohnThune @SenSchumer @SpeakerJohnson @RepJeffries Let’s get this done.

Our thanks to the lawmakers, regulators, and energy leaders who participated in yesterday's Energy Policy Summit. Its two panels discussed important issues on the power grid, energy markets, and innovation.

Thank you to the @TCCRI for having us at the 2025 Education Policy Summit! I joined Mary Lynn Pruneda, Kate Greer, Texas Education Agency's Mike Morath, and College Board's Greg Walker for a great conversation on education and accountability.

Special thanks to the legislators, policymakers, and stakeholders who joined us at TCCRI’s Education Policy Summit. Yesterday’s event facilitated an important conversation on school choice, testing, and accountability as the state charts a stronger future for Texas students.

We’re moving fast to establish the largest day-one school choice program in the U.S. and fundamentally improve education in Texas. Thanks for having me out to discuss Texas Education Freedom Accounts, @TCCRI @RussellHWithers #txlege

Today at the Education Policy Summit hosted by @TCCRI, Acting Comptroller Kelly Hancock shared an inside look at implementing Texas Education Freedom Accounts.

When the 90th Texas Legislature convenes in January 2027, the legislature should repeal the "Historically Underutilized Businesses" program and eliminate sex- and race-based discrimination from statute. txccri.org/single-post/te…

TCCRI's State Budget & Taxation Task Force shows why reducing Texas' heavy business personal property tax (BBPT) burden will benefit the state. Voters will have the chance to do just that this November by voting for Prop 9 (HJR 1 by Meyer). txccri.org/_files/ugd/e42…

From Goldman Sachs to Bank of America, Texas continues to see financial firms invest in the state. Light regulation and low taxes have made it "no longer New York or nowhere." Many of this year's constitutional amendments will only strengthen this trend. businessinsider.com/big-finance-ba…
