Today, I joined a majority of my colleagues on the Republican Party of Texas Legislative Priorities Committee in signing a Letter of No Confidence in Chairman Abraham George. I did not make that decision lightly. The federally mandated vehicle “kill switch” issue was the last straw for me. On April 16, the Legislative Priorities Committee met to discuss action regarding the federal vehicle kill switch mandate, which falls under the “End Federal Overreach” legislative priority. Terri Hall, President of TURF, briefed the committee after returning from Washington, D.C., where she and Rachel Hale had been actively meeting with members of Congress and advocating on this issue. Following that discussion, the committee unanimously approved a specific and strategic Call to Action urging Texans to contact Senator Ted Cruz and request repeal language in the upcoming highway bill. That strategy mattered. Senator Cruz chairs the relevant committee. The upcoming highway bill represents a narrow and critical legislative window. The call to action was carefully crafted based on current federal advocacy efforts and direct engagement with Congress. The Legislative Priorities Committee’s approved call to action was sent to Chairman Abraham George with a request that it be distributed through official Republican Party of Texas channels. Days passed without action despite follow-up from committee members. Because of the urgency of the issue, I publicly shared the committee’s call to action on April 26. Then, on April 29, instead of distributing the committee’s unanimously approved call to action, Chairman George released a different message through official RPT email and social media channels. The difference was significant. The Legislative Priorities Committee’s call to action specifically directed Texans to pressure Senator Ted Cruz at a critical moment tied to the highway bill negotiations. The RPT version replaced that focused strategy with a broad and generic message telling Texans to contact any senator or representative. That may sound minor to some people. It was not. It undermined the strategy approved by the committee, disregarded the work of subject matter experts actively engaged on the issue, and once again substituted the committee’s direction with messaging crafted outside the committee process. For me, that incident crystallized a much larger pattern. I personally witnessed and experienced the conduct outlined in the letter. The letter speaks for itself. The role of the Legislative Priorities Committee is not to shield politicians from political pressure. Delegates tasked us with taking clear stands on these issues and standing in the gap for the grassroots. There is nothing more important than protecting our children and future generations from expanding government overreach and surveillance. Long after we are gone, they will be the ones forced to live with the consequences of the decisions we make today. That is why I take the work of our legislative priorities so seriously. While many of these concerns were discussed internally for months, delegates have a right to know what has been happening. They can make their own decisions. I care deeply about the Texas we leave to the next generation, the liberties we preserve, and the values we defend. I take those responsibilities to heart. It should not surprise anyone that I am not endorsing Abraham George. #KillTheKillSwitch

Pro-Palestine protesters at Stanford University just defaced a veteran's memorial. They spray painted a disgusting remark about America that I can't even bring myself to type They actually took over the office of Stanford's president earlier and vowed to remain inside until their demands were met

A brazen abuse of power & an insult to democracy. 47% of VA voted Trump. They will now get just 9% of the seats. 52% of VA voters voted Harris. Now they get 91% of the seats. (By comparison, in TX, 56% voted Trump; GOP gets 79% of the seats.)
