Sam Harless State Rep District 126

I am proud to endorse @JimWright4Texas for reelection to the Texas Railroad Commission.   Commissioner Wright has helped keep Texas at the forefront of American energy. His leadership has strengthened the industry that powers our economy—supporting well-paying jobs, advancing our nation’s energy independence, and ensuring Texas stays the best state in America to do business.   Jim Wright has delivered for Texas, and he’s the conservative voice of experience and integrity we need on the RRC.

🚨Here's my opinion when asked about Harris County being sued over the closing #CD18 🗳️early voting polls Sunday and Monday as reported in this Chronicle Story: The problem is that while Harris County Clerk @TeneshiaHudspe1 can order the closing of early voting polls in the CD-18 runoff election, she does not have the authority to extend the number of early voting days past Tuesday as a "make-up" day, AKA, as a school system does, for example. So there's a lawsuit to extend the end of early voting past Tuesday, and whomever the district judge is picked to hear the case today probably drove in on nearly ice-free roads, past grocery stores, banks, business of all types that are open, (some with a delayed start), but not the County Election Polls in a special election. So, I agree with the opinion of the two congressional candidates quoted @CDMenefee & @AKEdwardsTX, in this story that more days to vote are probably important to voters in a congressional runoff election, but its up to a District Judge's ruling. The overarching problem is that shutting down Counties, Cities, Schools, in advance of an overnight Ice Storm that may or may not happen is prudent, but that closing should NOT extend to following day when it really didn't create hazardous conditions! Never heard Judge @LinaHidalgoTX 's justification for today's closure on her conference call, but Harris County is the nation's 3rd largest, and an important center of commerce in the US, so closing government unnecessarily is not the right public policy. #txlege

Wishing Speaker of the House @Burrows4TX a very happy birthday from the Texas House Republican Caucus!

Thank you to Representative @SamHarless126 for speaking at today's luncheon! We enjoyed hearing about all that has been going on in the legislative session and we are grateful for your many years of service.

1 uncomfortable fact about the Senate's property tax plan. If you JUST count counties that are over 75K in population Trump got 4,693,941 votes, Biden got 4,895,738. Trump voters deserve more. Let's fix this! #txlege

If you are a voter in Harris County - regardless of your politics - I ask you to take time to watch this: youtu.be/B-Pf9CQJo6Y
