Jerry Madden

@CarolineForTX Congratulations. It's quite an honor. You've done a good job in your first session. If I can ever help let me know.

I feel tremendously honored to have been chosen as the Texas House Republican Caucus' Freshman of the Year. I am thankful to the Lord and my colleagues in the House and Senate for helping me have a fantastic first session. #txlege

@leachfortexas Is such a beautiful workplace. I was honored to work there for 20 years. Truly great things have happened there.

Coming to work in this building never gets old. Be assured we’re working hard here - in your House - to deliver on your behalf. #txlege

Read our joint statement on preserving the Constitutional Right to Jury Trials. Ending the trial penalty is a critical step in holding our criminal justice system accountable. ⁦⁦@RightOnCrime⁩ ⁦@TPPF⁩

UPDATE on Jerry - Great news. Jerry is being released from Rehab on Sunday. He is so ready to get back home. Rocket had been able to visit twice. Feel free to call, text or visit. Thank you for the prayers and the outpouring of love during his recovery.

UPDATE. Wonderful news! I am set to move to a rehab facility today and can have visitors starting tomorrow Send me a note or text if you would like to visit or call. I will get back to you. Thank you so much for your prayers and good wishes!

@JulesAWarren He is in Richardson Methodist Hospital on George bush. He is in ICU for now and can’t receive anything but should be moved in a couple of days to a step down room where he can have visitors and receive fun things. I will keep you posted.

@jerrymadden What hospital is he at? We'd love to send flowers.

UPDATE. Jerry’s surgery just started. Surgeon will give us updates as it progresses. I will pass them along. Prayers appreciated.

UPDATE. Prayers answered. Jerry is out of surgery. Surgeon’s report was glowing! Heart and lungs looked great. It ended up being a quadruple by-pass. He is already in ICU, there were no problems and he is doing wonderful!

Update. 4 hours in. Jerry is now on the bypass machine. Surgery is going well so far. Wonderful news.

I has had a very good couple of days. I scheduled for quadruple bypass surgery 7:30am tomorrow. I will be in recovery and ICU for 24 hours. I can talk and text tonight but will be unavailable tomorrow. I would appreciate your prayers. Denise will keep you updated.

I had a heart attack early Monday and will have triple bypass surgery next Tuesday. In ICU now. Would appreciate prayers and messages.

Glad to see Brooke Rollins returning to Texas public policy Foundation. It was great working with her on some of the great criminal justice reforms of the last 20 years that we started in Texas

Brooke Rollins Returns to @TPPF as Senior Advisor, Roberts and Sindelar promoted "There is no organization having more impact on the future of our country and I can’t wait to once again be a part of this amazing team." texaspolicy.com/press/brooke-r…

Hearing from Brooke Rollins explain how Texas conservatives came to embrace criminal justice reform as a conservative concept. @TPPF @RightOnCrime

Hearing from @GovernorPerry explain how @TPPF was helpful in his effort to pioneer effective criminal justice reform in Texas. @RightOnCrime

@OklaCrimJustice One other suggestion to investigate is how to break the generational cycle from family members to their sons and daughters and grandchildren. Somewhere we have to break those Cycles so that one generation does not spend time in prison

I'm working on a statement of principles on criminal justice reform. What are the areas that need addressing that get overlooked? Don't just say shorter sentences, bail reform, etc. I'm looking for the deep tracks.

@OklaCrimJustice Second make sure crimes are created only by legislators not by bureaucrats in code.

@OklaCrimJustice I could give you several. I do agree on overcriminalization being a problem what are the solutions could be to require all crimes and Punishment to be identified in criminal justice codes and not spread out over criminal justice Health and Human Services education tax code Etc.
