Texas mothers are dying, and instead of giving us answers, Abbott’s administration is hiding that data. Texans deserve the truth. They deserve transparency. And our state officials have a legal obligation to give it to them. I’m demanding the report be released immediately.

Talarico wants data centers to pay for their own grid upgrades, recycle their water, create real jobs, & get a community's consent before moving in. Paxton took nearly $500,000 from the industry. Texans want a senator who fights for them. That's why we will have a #BlueWaveIn40Days
