So excited to be part of this @WPLNetwork's event in McAllen next month! Would love to see you there!

Ryder’s passing has hit especially close to home for our Team Burrows family. Ryder was the brother-in-law of one of our own, and our hearts are aching alongside his loved ones. From all accounts, Ryder was exactly the kind of young man who made a difference without even trying—full of life, loyal to his friends, proud to be a Red Raider and a Texan, and someone who showed up for the people around him. Elisabeth and I are praying for Avery and Ryan, the entire Harrington family, and everyone who loved Ryder—the number appears to be countless. We ask that you lift them up as well.

We are heartbroken over the passing of Ryder Harrington. From everything shared by those who knew him, Ryder was a light, a beloved son, brother, and friend, and passionate member of the Red Raider community, who brought energy, kindness, and joy everywhere he went. The impact he had on the people around him is clear. We’re keeping the Harrington family, his friends, and the Texas Tech/Austin community in our thoughts during this unimaginable time. A GoFundMe has been set up to support his family. The link is in our bio and down below for anyone who is able to help.

Dave (Davey Joe) Montgomery is a stalwart of the Capitol Press Corps, still going strong at 81. And he is one of the nicest guys you'll ever meet. Due to an unfortunate accident, he needs help. #txlege gofundme.com/f/support-for-…

Here's another look of today's Austin, Texas sunrise with Barton Springs Pool in the foreground. The haze in the air made for great sun rays.

The Texas flag flies at half-staff at The Alamo. Our hearts are with the families and communities of the Hill Country.

Breaking: a privately operated drone collided with a search and rescue helicopter in Kerrville, causing it to make an emergency landing.

The pain we’ve seen across our region this weekend is heartbreaking and there are no good words to describe our grief and sadness for the loss of life, including the loss of children. We share a deep fear of more loss, but we hold on to hope. We must. Hope matters. I am grateful for the professional staff across our region, county, and city who have been on the frontlines of the rescue and recovery efforts. They have our deepest thanks. All City of Austin departments are reporting normal conditions with some having resources deployed or standing by to assist outside of Austin. Showers remain possible today through Tuesday. With the ground completely saturated, we have a Flash Flood Watch in effect until 7:00 PM tonight. There is no forecast of a heavy downpour and significant precipitation accumulation. But we ask people to continue to stay weather aware and sign up for emergency notifications at WarnCentralTexas.org to receive alerts. I join Austinites in praying for those we’ve lost and for their families who grieve those losses. We also lift up in prayer those we hope are found alive. This is awful. We need each other and we need hope in this time of pain and sorrow.

Yesterday, the @LeadershipInst provided an excellent communications training session for legislative staff in the Texas House. A special thank you to @lawsuitreform , @CatParksTX , @JanieLopezForTX , my team, and everyone else who helped make this possible. Staff are a critical piece of how we get things done in the legislature, and I’m grateful to have hosted the first of many of these leadership sessions. #txlege

Went and took it.

Nikki Haley has never been as good as she is tonight. Sharp, solid, and compelling in every response. #GOPDebate
